To whomever is responsible with gifting me with a year's worth of wings: Thanks so much!! XXXOOOXXXOOO
Your thoughtful gift is much appreciated!
Like Linus and his blanket, I don't feel right if I don't have at least one book with me at all times. I read fast and get through an average of a book a day! It's hard to keep such an appetite fed, but I manage to do it.
Books I am currently buying include books on cooking, origami, maritime fiction and fact, science fiction and fantasy, paranormal fiction, travel literature, permacultire & organic farming, food science, and much, much more.
I currently work for an alternative newspaper called Hipfish. Among other duties, I write a monthly food column. Check it out at hipfishmonthly.com
I reside in Astoria, Oregon with my dog Frida Kahlo and my cats Emma Peel and Harry Houdini. We live in a tiny vintage Aladdin travel trailer. All the cupboards are crammed with books!
Lacking space to store AVL books, I have been doing large-scale wild releases: t thrift shops, on tables in my office building, at libraries. I am listing my Available inventory on Bookmooch.com and/or Paperbackswap.com. I am listed there under the same user name. I try to keep up to date on book status here at BookCrossing, but am probably only about 75% successful.
Most of my TBR is in storage and is not easy to get to. I am paring down my books in storage. Books that have Reserved status or no status designated may be available for postage. Sorry, I'm too broke for RABCKs or trades for the forseeable future except through Bookmooch or Paperbackswap.
Once, when I was in Venice, Italy, I saw a statue fondly known as "the book pooper". I am the book eater. I read a lot of books. I usually have quite a few books around, but my collection is very fluid, increasing and decreasing in large amounts.
Books I'm reading Now:

I like to get creative with wild releases. Some of them can be quite challenging for the hunter (for example, some that can only be reached at low tide). I have also set up 1 permanent bookcrossing zone and plan to do more as I have time. Sometimes it's frustrating, living in a small city with probably no active bookcrossers except for myself. Feels like I'm releasing books by throwing them in a dumpster, I keep doing it anyway, but don't do as many strictly wild releases as I should. I have better luck when I travel. It would be nice to have face time with other BXers.
My favorite things about bookcrossing (in no particular order)are:
1) Catching a wild release.
2) Getting interesting messages from my wild releases.
3) The random and not so random acts of kindness.
4) Trading books.
5) Bookrings
6) Getting to read some truly amazing books that are normally not available in the US.
Thanks, bookcrossing, to turning me on to the people, the books, and the fun!
