Extended Profile
Profile pic, not the Gizmo I took my screenname from, but the Gizmo, my Gizmo took his name from!!
About Me and Mine
Wife, worker, Mum,1 hubby, 2 children (both now bookcrossers), 1 dog, 1 terrapin.(Abbreviated version - other too long) My passions in life after my family, animals and books are Formula 1 (Michael Schumacher in particular),Liverpool FC and music. Mum of Johnnydsgirl and Sharpshooter
I AM HAPPY TO TRADE/RABCK INTERNATIONALLY
So far I have sent books to UK, USA, Canada, Germany, Iran, Malaysia, South Africa, Finland, Romania, Australia
My latest intention with regard to Mt.TBR is to read books given to me by others first and to pass them on their journey, because I have no guilt as to how long my own are sitting there, but I do feel guilty about others
Permanent Collection
Any books in my Permanent Collection (mainly F1 books) are available to lend only. If you wish to read one, please send me a PM. Unfortunately as most of them are large hard back books, I would have to ask that postage be paid.
Book Rating
I was having much trouble rating my books, and stumbled across this excellent rating system on Scism's bookshelf. I am reprinting this with permission, and hopefully to aid others.
Kudos to Sugarkane and Scism for this:
10: Excellent, at the top of its category. This book has impacted me deeply, challenged me profoundly, or has simply been a pure delight to read.
9: Great book - just a nitpick stands between it and a 10
8: Good, solid book that I would recommend to others.
7: Good book, but it didn't grab me in a big way.
6: Decent, but not my type of book.
5: Maybe somebody else would like this. I didn't.
4: Only OK. Barely worth reading. The line between taking it and leaving it is very thin.
2-3: Has major problems. I don't recommend it.
1: It's hard to imagine anyone liking this book.
