This is completely inaccurate at the moment...being roughly 4 years old and totally out of date. But it'll do until I get it updated:

I adore theatre, reading, watching movies, scrapbooking and amusement parks! I've been married for six years and have two dogs, a conure, and a good husband. I also like good food (too much!) I work in the Theme Park Industry and gain great satisfaction from my job and my co-workers. I have aspirations of being a writer and since I currently lack the time to WRITE, am doing my best to READ as much as possible. I'm always looking for new friends or people with my same interests--so PM me!! I started Bookcrossing a while ago and drift away from it then back and then away again... but am currently trying to stay active...which hasn't been too hard since I've started an OBCZ! Check out the ENT-OBCZ bookshelf!

(I'll try to keep this updated so you'll know what'll soon be available on my list, should you care!)

* Monster Island by David Wellington (11/09/08)



About my Wish List--I try to keep it updated. Some of them will be read and then released or passed on, but a couple of them might end up in my PC. I'll gladly trade any Available book for them. :)


BookRays/Rings: At the moment I'm not very good at reading books in order or mailing them off within due dates, so I'm not joining any Rings or Rays. Thank you for thinking of me, but please don't PM me with ring/ray invites, they won't be answered.

My Wish List


*******
Regarding RABCK's: Books that I'm done with are marked Available. If you see something that's Available you are welcome to ask me to send it to you. If I don't have plans for it, I will probably doing so. I would ask two things of you in return:

1. I like to trade. At this time my area doesn't have a lot of BXers and I would love to receive/send books from/to other parts of the world. You can see the type of books I enjoy reading on my Book Shelf or Wish List. If you don't have a trade to offer, please still ask about the book. I will gladly consider sending without a trade and it never hurts to ask! :)

2. Please, please once you receive the book be sure to journal that you got it! Later, when you have read it, please journal again about how you felt about the book. Then let it go into the wild again or send it to another book crosser (If it's your favorite book of all time, you're welcome to make it part of your Permanent Collection, just let me know.) Thank you.

I decided it would be fun to do a "Country Wide" challenge. My goal is to either release, or send books to, every state in the country. I tried to put one of those nifty graphics up to chart my progress but it messed up my boundaries so I figured I'd just list them instead. My progress so far:
S=Sent to Another BXer WR=Wild Release T=Traded via another site
Alaska (S)
Florida (WR)
Georgia (WR)
Illinois (S)

Bookboxes
I've just finished participating in my first two bookboxes:
Cliff's Top 100 Authors hosted by ILuvToRead2 and Library Book Sale Bookbox by MyaStone---Lots of fun!

My BookRings go by TexasWren's Bookring guidelines:

"Person #1 has a book to share and posts notice of a book ring in the Book Ring and Ray forum. Interested parties will PM her, and a book ring begins. The book is mailed to Person #2 along with a list of everyone in the ring--without including anyone's mailing address (for privacy reasons). When Person 2 receives the book, he PM's Person 3 for his/her address, reads the book as quickly as possible, and mails it off. Two to four weeks has become the standard for keeping a book. My personal suggestion is that if you need it longer than that, you a)let the founder of the ring know, and/or b) send it to the next person, unread, and request that your name be added to the end of the list when you may have more time. Person #3 repeats the cycle. Eventually, the book returns to the original owner."

So, without further ado, the order listings for my bookrings! The asterisk denotes who has the book at this present time (or who it's currently en route to.)

BOOKRING #1: The Dress Lodger:
**Completed and the book is safely returned home**

BOOKRING #2 The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love:
**DEAD** It looks like this book will never make it back home and I can't seem to get a response from Mom-of-One in regards to its whereabouts. My apologies to Spaceystacey, geniedances, Fushmush, kayote, Lpree, Aisling78, AnitaNovel, & Rappody.


PM me if you have any questions and thanks for checking out my bookshelf!
