Please don't take my screen name seriously, i made it at the spur-of-the-moment, and now i am just stuck with it :D

I accidently tripped upon this site through google, & i bless the day i did....never thought there was this wonderful & sheer genius idea of a person to create a global online library, to set the books in the wild ,to free them....brilliant!!!!
I am a passionate reader of literature since teenage years & there aren't much-heard-of public libraries in Riyadh, i look forward to benefit a lot,catching books, releasing them, making new friends worldwide
Its going to be fun!!!!!
Among the modern ones, i like Danielle steel, Judith Mcnaught, John Grisham..etc..& my dearest read is "gone with the wind" & "scarlett"..
I can't be an active releaser for the time being..but if you want to send one here,don't hesitate to PM me!!

A lifetime challenger got me started by sending a book all the way from germany, it was so exciting and i am grateful for it..

And so i will be on the lookout for more lifetime challengers wanting to highlight this dormant country on their maps..
The 'around the world in 233 books' members are most welcome here!
