A NOTE ABOUT MY RECENT INACTIVITY
To everyone who has sent me something (Book Tea Choc sweeps packages, Birthday Buddy packages, bookbags, PM's etc) I would like to say I am sincerely sorry for my inactivity of the past few months. Been going through a rough patch and just had to put a sudden halt on a lot of things in my life, including Bookcrossing.
All your packages have been received with much thanks and gratitude, and they have helped cheer me up during some dark times the past few months. So thank you.
I'm slowly trying to tie up all the loose ends where I can, pass on bookbags, respond to messages and anything else I need to to catch up. It'll be a slow process so please be patient with me. I will eventually get there. I won't be back in awhile in the meantime, but I will be trying to play catch-up during this time. I will be back hopefully some time next year when everything has settled down.
__________________________________________________________________________________
I love the idea of BC because I believe that books are meant to be shared. I did my own bookcrossing before I found this site, passing books onto friends that I know will appreciate them, however I think the keeping of a journal gives you a great idea of the history of a book, where it's been. And I love the idea of the book as a "little treasure" that gets passed from person to person, spreading its magic with everyone. I have this habit where just before I start reading a book, I love just holding it in my hands, and wondering who had it before me, how the book affected its previous reader, what was happening in their life at the time. This may be a book passed onto me by another Bookcrosser, or one I found in a secondhand shop, any book with a history, especially very old books.
Despite my love of reading and losing myself in a great book, my TBR list grows ever longer! I don't think it helps that I can be somewhat of a slow reader at times - I get distracted easily :{ and usually need to reread the previous sentence / paragraph. But my biggest "downfall" is book bargains - I get most of my books from charity shops, flea markets, and library sales. At the moment, there is an ever-growing pile of books in one corner of my room and it's slowing over-running the place! I haven't had the chance to register a lot of them either. I constantly tell myself I'm not buying anymore books, but guess what... :)
Some of the books you see on my bookshelves are for the purpose of wild releases, and therefore don't always reflect my reading taste. But in saying that, I'm pretty open to what I will read. Types of books I do enjoy reading most are historical fiction/non-fiction (I especially love any books about Ireland, and also a good historical romance from time to time), some war themes (heartwarming ones), some chick lit, good biographies, and also anything unusual / quirky / bizarre / humourous, whether it's fiction or non. I also enjoy some young adult fiction. I especially love books about animals, and also ones told from an animal's point of view. I guess the only types of genres I don't really enjoy are Mills & Boon romance and most science fiction.
Sometimes I like to include a little something (ie. bookmarks, handmade jewellery etc) with random wild releases, especially for Release Challenges. All my wild releases are in plastic ziplock bags / cellophane bags to ensure the book is kept in its original condition.
I'm registered on RABCK.com, so if there's a book you think I might enjoy, you can find my address there :) My entire wishlist is up to date, even the older wishes. I'll happily swap with a book from my shelf.
On other occasions, if you see anything on my AVL (Available) list you'd like, don't be shy - just PM me and I'd be happy to send it to you if funds allow at the time. I don't necessarily need to swap books. If it's on my TBR (To Be Read) list and I'm not planning on reading it any time soon, feel free to PM me as well. I might be willing to send it to you :) Same with my PC (Permanent) list - on the condition that you solemnly promise to send it back once you're done.
Please note that due to the high cost of international postage, I may at times decide to send heavy packages via Sea Mail (Surface Mail). Please take this into consideration if you require a book immediately. If you're not sure, just message me first.
RABCKs and Etsy:
I love nothing better than sending RABCKs :) I also love handmade items, and I've always found such wonderful talent and handcrafted treasures on Etsy.com. I want to share these beautiful items with you and help promote fellow Etsians' work by occasionally offering their items in RABCKs. Some RABCKs I host will include items that will come from a different seller each time. And so because of this, some of the non-book RABCKs will come straight from the Etsy seller to the RABCK recipient to save me on postage. Other times, I will send stuff from my own Etsy shop, or just something I've made that doesn't appear in my shop.
I've just joined something fun called www.postcrossing.com/---/goofbunny" target=new>PostCrossing, where you send each other postcards around the world :)
Happy reading :)

You Are Alice |
You are curious, brave, and inquisitive. You can't help but be interested in the world around you. You are a bit of a loner and a total daydreamer. Your inner world is very colorful and vivid. At times, your real life seems dull and completely unbearable. You wish you could escape to a whole other world. While you have a wild spirit, you are quite gentle and polite. You tend to observe more than act - and you tread lightly. |
You Are Chai Tea |
There are many subtle sides to your personality. You are difficult to decode. You are a complex and deep individual. You have many nuanced beliefs, and your mood frequently changes. You are a creative and expressive person. You draw your inspiration from the whole world. You enjoy exotic food, music, and travel. Your tastes are very international. |
