I like books, real beer, good food, gardens, walking, conversation, penguins, quizzes and puzzles, cooking, music, and wine. I worked for ten years as Librarian in a Comprehensive Secondary Modern school for 11 to 16 year-olds, which broadened my outlook on books and introduced me to many previously unexplored corners of the book world.
My introduction to BookCrossing was as a result of having run out of books over Christmas; my daughter, knowing I needed a Fiction Fix, brought home a book left at the pub where she worked. Inside was a BCID and I was hooked. I spend far too much time on this site, or drinking at my not-quite-local pub in the process of dropping off books, or trawling the charity shops looking for books to read and release, but at least it keeps me out of trouble!
