Extended Profile
Now that I'm back, just announcing my memoir, 'Peaceangel's White Feathers', published via Story Terrace in Jan 2019, and available on Amazon in colour or black and white.
Belfast and Northern Ireland Bookcrossers et al, let me introduce myself!
I helped for many years, until Covid19 hit us, to organise the BCNI Northern Ireland Yahoo Group, and attended several BC conventions, as below. Some members of the group still meet up occasionally, but not in the same organised way. We will discuss the way forward now, and let folks know our next step forward asap!

BookCrossing has really helped me start to organise my books and my reading, as well as finding a new way to carry out 'random acts of kindness'.

Having had about 8 major house moves in my life and hauled a lot of books with me each time, gathering more boxes of them each time a relative passes on, the time has now come to sort and dispose, or in other words, release, those gathering dust in the attic. But, hey, I then discover the gems I've been hoarding up there! So some I read or re-read, but most will be released every time I go out in a place where books can be left. This is much more satisfying than lugging boxes down to the Oxfam shop...which I still do, but with BCIDs in every book!

You're To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've
also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to
persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you,
but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you
whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
