Would you like to meet Wellington BookCrossers? We meet on the first Thursday of every month at Trax (at Wellington Railway Station) at 5:30pm (or upon request at other times) and would love to meet you!




Hey there! I came across BookCrossing when Sherlockfan released this book at the bus stop down the road from my old house. I found it walking home from uni and brought it home. I chose my username that evening, signed up and haven't looked back since! I have always loved reading, as seen in my pic above! One of my earliest memories is being read Winnie the Pooh by my Dad, whose copies of those books were extremely old, and we weren't allowed to touch! The background of this page is the print from my famous bookcrossing pajamas.

I've met (both in person and online) some wonderful people through bookcrossing, but especially on the f&g forum, at conventions, and at local meetups. I hope to meet many more through my life!

My hobbies include reading (duh), travelling, knitting, and baking. I also attend our monthly meetups.

My favourite authors are Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman and Michael Morpurgo with my absolute favourites of theirs being the Oryx and Crake series, Neverwhere and Private Peaceful respectively. My favourite genres are any compelling fiction, children and teenage books! I read a lot of children/teen books as part of my job as a children and teens librarian.

My address in Rabck.com is no longer current and I can’t seem to log in to change it – please don’t send stuff to me there!

Things I like: BookCrossing conventions, chocolate (with a preference for dark, and a particular dislike for the nestle brand), tea (not earl grey or anything with bergamot in it!), good movies, and Doctor Who!

I'm also a proud patron of the arts through Patreon, where I support a wide array of occasionally changing people.
