The books on my AVL shelf do not necessarily represent my reading preferences! For those please check my wishlist or the books on my TBR shelf.

If you are interested in any of my books marked "available" just send me a PM and we'll work something out. For books marked "to be read" you can send a PM as well and I will move it to the top of Mt. TBR.
