I am a life-long voracious reader - I read at least one book a week along with two newspapers daily and several magazines! (Speed reading was one of my favorite subjects in school!) I get most of my books from the Salvation Army store, flea markets and used book sales, as well as the library. My primary favorites are science fiction, historical novels and detective stories, although I will read anything that looks interesting and well written.

I was so delighted to learn about BookCrossing. It is a wonderful idea! There is nothing better than sharing a 'good read' with someone else who enjoys it. The idea of being able to track where a well loved book goes is SO intriguing.
