I read a lot, but nowhere near as much as I'd like to. I'll try most authors but my three all-time favourite books are "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, and "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. Perhaps a strange mix!

I do most of my bookcrossing at local meetups but will occasionally wild release elsewhere and am more than happy to receive PM requests for anything that's lying on my available pile. However, if anyone wants to do the latter, I think it's always polite to offer a trade.

If you are a Bookcrosser on a secret mission to send me a gift, thank you! Some particular ideas might be:
- Wishlist books
- Any interesting non-fiction: especially history, world affairs, or popular science.
- Chocolate - preferably from small or local suppliers (I'm not very keen on Cadbury or Nestle, sorry!)
- Jelly sweets
- Biro pens (the cheap freebie kind)
- Bookcrossing stickers
- Donations to www.trusselltrust.org , www.columcillecentre.co.uk/donate/ or www.juno.uk.com/fundraising/
- Manga suitable for an 11-year old boy
