I AM NOT the same person as WildFlower73. This BCer does not exist. Someone made a similar profile to mine for an inexplicable reason. Please direct all inquiries to wildflower37.

Willing to trade available books. If you are interested in a book listed as tbr (and set by me) feel free to request. Or, if you see a book listed that you really would like but don't have a trade in mind, let me know that, too. I hate to have books just sitting around waiting to be read. :)

I am listed on RABCK.com if you are interested.

About my literary tastes:
- Literature and fiction; more "lit" and less "chick". Favorite authors include Barbara Kingsolver, Ann Patchett, Francine Prose, Wally Lamb, Ursula Hegi...and many many more
- Memoirs of not-famous people
- Poetry of the last 20 years or so; favorite poets include Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry, Billy Collins, Marge Piercy, Naomi Shihab Nye, Pablo Neruda (odes)
