I am a registered nurse. I love to read and just found out about bookcrossing in October 2007. Someone left a bookmark on my kitchen cabinet while I was on vacation. I still don't know who cause they won't "fess up". Now I'm hooked. One of my daughters is also an avid reader and she has joined the fun. I have three cats; Frankie, Michaels and Willard, as well as several strays who stopped (and stayed) for a meal on their way to somewhere else.

I'm a coffee, tea, and hot chocolate drinker. I love to try new flavors. I am obsessed with tea towels and thimbles, I just love them. I pick them up every place we go on vacation. Weird, huh?

I've started my grandson his own little collection of books. Robert Wulff arrived March 9, 2015, 8 pounds, 10 ounces. We call him the lil Wulffie. So naturally any little boy books would be greatly appreciated. He's 5 years old now and he loves his books! His new favorite is "The Night Before Christmas".

I have really enjoyed catching books and setting them free. I like to read everything before I let it go, so sometimes it takes a while for my books to get back into the wild. I just got brave enough to sign up for some of the challenges and am having fun with that. I love the idea of RABCK. What a Great way to release books. If I have a book you want to read just let me know.

I love surprises. I can only read English, much to my dismay.
