I stumbled into the Bookcrossing World in October 2006. The whole idea of sharing books with others and tracking your books movements around the globe sounded like a lot of fun and a nice way to meet people.

I am married with 2 beautiful children age 5 and 3, so I don't get a lot of time to read at the moment, but do try to pick up a book whenever possible.
