***My response time is a bit off lately as I have just moved to Middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. I am currently living in what I affectionately call "Hippiedom." I am trying to scrabble/eke out some sort of livable conditions, and have limited phone and/or
email access. I promise I will respond to any inquiries, it just may take a day or two. Also, my trades are pretty limited right now as I cannot seem to find half my books in the storage unit (a.k.a the huge semi-trailer full of crap I cannot reach, find,
or use).

DISCLAIMERS ~
1. I LOVE bookrings, bookrays, and trades!!! Nothing is more exciting than getting a new book or books in the mail...O.K., well, almost nothing :).
2. The books on my shelf are DEFINATELY not illustrating my tastes and preferences. I purchase a ton of books just to wild release or send surprise RABCKs.
With that being said, I have had some amazing RABCKS from people all over the world. Now, as much as I love to send stuff off for trades, I am kind of buried in Mount TBR right now due to bookcrosser benevolence (BB) which is at an all time high and cannot be curbed or cured (yea). So...If you are interested in trading (check out my massive but impressive list of TBRs) or sending me something, I will never say "no," as it is too painful to turn down a great read. But, I will warn you that it might enjoy an extended stay on my shelves before venturing out again.
I generally read them, pass them to my local buddies who enjoy the same sort of stuff(eriko1908, crazygrace, arugh48187, carrotcake (our resident newbie), pjmom8025, ragdyann422) and then send them off into the wild.
If you don't mind the book visiting a little longer than my usual few days or week to read it...I would love to provide a temporary home for anything and everything you want to send!
Now, about my list of "Available" books ~
My "Available" list generally looks like something out of the "cannot sell" pile at a library or thrift store. I generally release a book about a minute after I finish it (love to set them free) so the good stuff goes fast!!! I have a ton of books on my TBR pile so if you ever see anything you like (and it is a hodgepodge of books) please let me know (PM), and I will read it ASAP and send it out!!!
I get new books every time my mom visits (once or twice a month)...she is a voracious reader and can afford to buy the new releases and best sellers so let me know if you see anything you like!!!
*** On the off chance you do not receive a response from me, my PM may not be in working order...Please email me directly at [email protected]. ***

You are welcome to join my rings or rays at any time...I never close them. Please bear in mind if you are planning on joining one of my rings or rays, please advise me if you plan on holding the book for more than a month, and I will add you to the bottom of the list so you can keep it for longer. I like to have my rays and rings enjoyed by everyone in a timely manner, and feel that if you plan on keeping the book for an extended length of time I would like to see that it is enjoyed by as many as possible, so I will allow other members to read it first. Please be courteous and aware of this when asking to join.
Also, I will check Earthdance's list of problematic stallers and hoarders if you sign up for a ring or ray. Please do not ask to join my rings or rays if you do have a problem with reading books in a timely manner or have been added to this list. If you want a book I offer for a ring or ray and know it will enjoy an extended stay on your shelves, I would be more than happy to mail it to you to have indefinately once the ring or ray members have all enjoyed it.
