Extended Profile
I know I'm supposed to write some stuff here so that you all can get to know me better, but I'm terribly shy and don't like talking much about myself. I started reading at age three, and thus, my love of books began. I wanted to be a school librarian when I was in elementary school because I loved being around the books.
After my first love affair with the English language, I started studying Spanish in 6th grade. I went on an amazing trip as an exchange student to Costa Rica in high school, so I decided to major in Spanish and International Studies. After graduation, I had no idea what to do with my life (besides read Spanish literature--even better than English literature in some cases) so I went on to graduate school in Spanish. Currently, I'm not putting my education to work at a customer service center, but hope one day to get a job in editing or publishing.

What I am currently reading: This Much I Know is True
I am currently in possession of 0 bookring books, with 0 on the way, and 0 to mail out.
On a last note, I'd just like to add that "You can't tell a bookcrosser by her bookshelf." :) Meaning, I haven't read every book I've released, and I haven't liked every book that ends up on my bookshelf. Hopefully, though, they will eventually end up in the hands of someone who does appreciate their worth.

Your Result: ring in bundles
