Hiya!

I'm oliveoyle.

I've been BookCrossing for nearly two years now and I absolutely love it. I've wild released quite a few books, though without much success, I'm afraid. But I don't let that stop me! I live and work in Sheffield (UK) but I've got friends dotted around the country and a few overseas so I try to release books wherever I go!

On a more personal, getting-to-know-me level: I studied English Literature at university and I work in publishing, which has always been my ambition so I'm happy as a pig in poo! I'm an avid reader but I don't spend all my time with my head in a book (honest!) - I also like going out to the boozer with mates, going to gigs and festivals, eating out, visiting new places in the UK and abroad, and going to the theatre. I like cats, music, wine and my bed. I dislike war, small mindedness and peas.

That's all from me!

NB. Due to financial circumstances I am having to cut down on the amount of book swaps I do and the bookrings/book boxes/book relays I join. I will, however, continue to participate in the bookrings, book relays and book boxes I have already joined. If you fancy something off my Available list feel free to PM me, although please be aware that it maybe a "no". If I can, I'll swap for something off your Available list or the price of postage.

The book I belong in is...

I believe you belong in Pride and Prejudice; a
world of satire and true love. A world where
everything is crystal clear to the reader, and
yet where new things seem to be happening all
the time. You belong in a world where your
free-thought puts you above the silly masses,
and where bright eyes and intelligence are
enough to attract the arrogant
millionaire/prejudiced young woman of your
choice.
