Extended Profile
I love Book Crossing! What a brilliant way to spread my love of books and reading! I'm an English teacher - hence my Book Crossing name! Hopefully my books will travel far and wide and bring a smile to those who find them!
I joined Book Crossing in 2010 after finding a book in The Eagle Centre, Derby. It had been left there by countofmonte. I'd never heard of Book Crossing and couldn't wait to join in!
I like to buy books from charity shops to use for Book Crossing - two good deeds in one!
These quotes sum up my thoughts on reading:
"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me."
C. S. Lewis
"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all."
Oscar Wilde
