Extended Profile
Pysanky/folk artist, book aficionado. Former Charlestonian ( where thousands of books were registered and released) now delighted to be living in Philly. Also a former Wheel of Time licensed artist. Lover of fresh air, green spaces, fine coffee, & Javaczuk.
(Books released before August, 2021 were released when I lived in Charleston, SC.)
Please note: As of 2007, I prefer not to trade by mail. (In person or RABCKs are a different story.) Please do not send unsolicited requests for me to send books out to you. You may be the sweetest person on earth, but I don't want to send you a book simply because you request it.Thank you for understanding.
PS I donate many, many books to my local library branches for them to as they wish (usually in book sales to raise money to support library needs.) Wherever I have lived, libraries have been dreadfully underfunded. Every little bit helps. If you're in Philly, check out Hilltop Books and Book Corner, my two favorite fundraisers for the Philadelphia Free Library System.
I created our czuk family crest in 2013, seen in my profile picture, which was so beautifully translated into stained glass by master glass craftsperson Leia Powell.
I am the artist of Patterns of the Wheel: Coloring Art based on Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, a coloring book I did for Tor Books. Kind of ironic that the first book an avid reader comes out with is a coloring book, but it's based on a series so that makes it bookish!
For those who remember her, my mother was Bumma, a devoted reader and happy BookCrosser. I miss her every day.
Bookczuk is pronounced book-chuk, roughly as in "how many books could a bookczuk chuck
Charleston BookCrossers were thrilled to host the 2007 Convention, and the 2008 UnConvention, Redoing the Charleston. Thanks to all who helped and participated.
