Hello everybody. I am a translator from Germany. I live in Vienna, Austria. I obviously love reading, but I also enjoy cooking, sports and traveling – most of all to Finland, one of the most beautiful places in the world. I speak German, English and Spanish, as well as a little Finnish Swedish, which I am learning right now. I am always looking for penpals writing to me in any of those languages!

A friend of mine first told me about bookcrossing some time ago, and when it started coming back to mind again and again, I became a member. And even though I've only been a bookcrosser for a couple of months now, I have already become addicted to it.

In the months to come, I am planning to register all my books (at least the novels). Please do take a look at my bookshelf – You may borrow any of the books marked AVL and I'd also be interested in trading them, for example for other books of the same author. If you are interested, please PM me!


FAVORITE GENRES AND AUTHORS
Mystery and crime are my favorite genres, but I also enjoy reading general fiction, as well as fantasy and science fiction novels. I am basically open for everything!
My favorite authors are:

• Elizabeth George
• Anne Rice
• Henning Mankell
• Terry Pratchett
• Douglas Adams
• Edgar Allan Poe
• Jane Austen

and many more.


CURRENTLY READING
I am currently reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. If you are interested in this book, please PM me.
