Extended Profile
I'm a Chartered Secretary (like a lawyer, but honest) with interests in archaeology, history, mythology, genealogy, art history and photography.
I have also set up a separate bookshelf for my partner Bugzbunny in order to keep books I pick up for him separate from my own.
Current Status
For various reasons I'm not reading at the moment. In sorting out my office, I've realised I have many books, both registered by me and by other bookcrossers, that I'm never going to get around to reading. I'm therefore in the process of gathering them up for release in the coming few weeks.
My apologies if I have received books from you in the past and have not read, released or journalled them as applicable. I hope that whoever picks them up will journal them in due course and let you follow their further travels.
