Recent Book Activity

IMPORTANT: Because I travel between my temporary home and permanent home, please PM for address prior to any mailings. Books should only be mailed to my FL address.

I have had 114 catches to date from wild releases (71 from OBCZs, 9 from LFLs, 34 truly wild).

My preference is for trade-size paperbacks. It's easier for me (and my hands) to handle than hardcovers and mass-market paperbacks. With the exception of Romance and Fantasy, I will read just about any genre though I am partial to literature/fiction and biographies.
