I first joined bookcrossing to try and reduce the number of books I had accumulated, but that theory quickly evaporated. I have grown to love bookcrossing because it has allowed me mix my love of travel with literature. I've been to some amazing places and met some beautiful like minded book people, some of which I now call life long friends. How lucky are we?
My first international convention was Washington, I was on the working committee for Melbourne and amongst others have attended Oxford, Athens and Mainz.
I try to attend most of the Aus/NZ uncons and am looking forward to Waiheke Island this year in October.

Just in case you draw me in a NSS, here are some ideas.
I love any crime, mystery or thriller fiction that isn't too gorey.
My wishlist is up to date with books from my real life crime bookclub.
I drink tea of any kind,
like chocolate and
collect mugs and tea towels from places I have travelled,
I enjoy a red wine.

Because I live in Aus, if you feel like adding a little something from your home country, please make it small, so I can get it home ok.
