March 2023 update

I’ve recently restarted on BookCrossing so this page is well out of date!


Apologies to the initiators of the various book rings/rays/spirals that I’m holding up. I’ll be checking through them over the coming weeks and clearing books that are stuck on my bookshelves. I realise this could be a very slow process as other participants may now be inactive!

I don't do too much wild releasing - I have visions of lovely books ending up in rubbish bins! So I prefer to swap books, then I know they're going to a good home ;o)

The list below is no longer being updated, I’ve left it here as a record for me to refer to. I now use Goodreads to track what I’ve read and want to read - www.goodreads.com/---/100520616
