Hi there!

I'm a South African bookcrosser, which- as we all know- is a very rare kind of blue, one eyed salamander indigenous to the Australian Outback. These salamanders love movies, films, cinema, redundancy, books, books and books, and also fantasy when the mood strikes. These salamanders are mildly to disturbingly obsessed with Stephen Fry and all things UK / Ireland etc, especially the British humour.

IMPORTANT: If one of my books is marked "to be read", that can either mean it's one I've never read, or it can mean I haven't read it since I got it, but I have read it before. Witness: all the Shakespeare plays on my TBR list.

ALSO: The PM system seems to have taken a dislike to me, and PMs I send and ones sent to me seem to be going astray. Please contact me through snofferol at yahoo dot com. Thanks!

This Salamander is currently reading:
Incendiary by Chris Cleave

This Salamander has been largely absent from BC because of financial situations and rising postage costs in South Africa, and begs the forgiveness of her fellow BookCrossers. She misses it dearly, and with some hope may be able to return full time to this amazing community soon. When she does, be assured she shall return with bells on, and probably some gifts!;)

Completely off topic, but this is bugging me. Is it strange that the whole day today I've had the lyrics of the first sorting hat song stuck in my head set to the tune of the Big Rock Candy Mountain? And is it stranger still that the rhythm of the lyrics fit the tune so well?

I LURVE trading books, so feel free to ask if there's something on my shelf you like. I'll send anywhere. That's right, I LURVE it, damnit, I'm far past 'love'.

For in case anyone wants to know, the name 'Snofferol' came from a joke with a friend who made the word up on the spot one day to mean 'buggerall'. Loved the sound of it, so it stuck. Pronounced "Snor (silent 'r')- fer (hard 'r')- all." Spread the word.

Currently I'm desperately ISO:
-Disco Bloodbath (also known as Party Monster, by James st. James)
-Almost anything written by Diana Wynne Jones. I've got quite a few already, but I'm trying to collect her whole body of works.
-Anything illustrated by Anne Grahame Johnstone
-Almost anything off of the list of books mentioned in the thread about disturbing books I posted a while back. I'm looking to get my creep on;)
I'd be absolutely over the moon to trade for any of these- if there's nothing on my AVL list you'd trade for, I'm also happy to trade for some of the jewellery I make. You can see pics of some of it at my deviant art site (link at the bottom of the page)

These are the books I've found so far from previous rounds of "Desperately ISO:

Moab is my Washpot (Thanks to joolsp!)
Salmon of Doubt (Thanks to Kemppu!)
Princess Bride
Meet Mr. Mullinger (Thanks to Pzarks!)
Something New (Ditto)
Hex: Shadows (Huge, huge thank you to judygreeneyes!)
Hex: Ghosts (Ditto)
The Holy Innocents (Thanks to Beaulivre!)

Have now found Beyond the Deepwoods, Stormchaser, The Last of the Sky Pirates and Midnight Over Sanctaphrax from the Edge Chronicles. Still looking for more though!

You are The Lovers


Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.


The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.


Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
