It has been some time since I last actively bookcrossed or attended a meetup or anything of the sort. There has been many changes in my life and It got pretty rough there for a while. I Am taking a hiatis from Bookcrossing for a while. I'm not sure how long for exactly. As I type this my kids are boxing up the last of the books I had been holding on for Bookcrossing so that I can pass them on to someone who will look after them as they deserve.
I am still a firm believer in the philosophy behind Bookcrossing, but now I must look after myself for a while. I can still be reached through PMs and I will make an attempt to actually answer them now. But I wont be doing anything in regards to swaps or RABCKS or anything of that sort.
If you have been trying to get hold of me because I have a book of yours, then please try again. I am providing a helpful friend with postage so that they may get back out there. How long that will take I'm not sure but we'll see.
Good luck with everything. I wish you all well. and Hopefully you will see me again some time in the future.
Regards
Quilted-Elf
Hi! I have always been a bibliophile and find the whole concept of bookcrossing a truely amazing experience! Of course it's always very difficult to get rid of some books quite deliberately, so You will find some of my very favs listed as permanent collection. I am happy to loan these to friends, and if you ask for them I will consider it. But if you are an international person asking please see below about international RABCK!!!! In the mean time.....
I am a huge fan of Mercedes Lackey, Elizabeth Moon, Tamora Pierce, Isobel Carmody, JK Rowling, Anne McCaffrey, Clamp and many other authors.
I am addicted to bookstores and simply can not go past one with out stopping!!!! :-)
I have a bookring currently running Book of Heroic Failures: Official Handbook of the Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain by Stephen Pile PM me if you wish to join!
Due to the fact I have received several people requesting books from me, I have decided to no longer send out books internationaly unless the requester is offering a trade. I am still happy to do a RABCK within Australia without trade, but I simply cannot afford the postage to other countries without some form of compensation. I really dont want to do this, but I am a student and pensioner and while I do work I simply dont earn enough to cover international postage. My apologises to all but that's the way it will have to be for now. Hopefully though in the future when I'm working full time this will change.

What Type of Social Entity are You?

You are the Moon card. Entering the Moon we enter
the intuitive and psychic realms. This is the
stuff dreams are made on. And like dreams the
imagery we find here may inspire us or torment
us. Understanding the moon requires looking
within. Our own bodily rhythms are echoed in
this luminary that circles the earth every
month and reflects the sun in its progress.
Listening to those rhythms may produce visions
and lead you towards insight. The Moon is a
force that has legends attached to it. It
carries with it both romance and insanity.
Moonlight reveals itself as an illusion and it
is only those willing to work with the force of
dreams that are able to withstand this
reflective light. Image from: Stevee Postman.

Which Tarot Card Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
You Are From Neptune |
 You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything. |
You are a ZINGARO - a gypsy. A free
spirit, fun and free, with just enough
eccentricity to make people say, "God, are
you WEIRD!"
What Atypical Noun Best Fits You?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are the spirit of wisdom. You are wise beyond
your years and know what others don't. You are
what others need in a friend. You might appear
shy but are strong.
