Extended Profile
Welcome to my bookshelf
I discovered bookcrossing while browsing the net for information on The Kite Runner. I think the idea is brilliant. It has widened my reading interests, and I have discovered new authors I'd never heard about. Also, living in Germany, it is not so easy to find out about and get English language books, so bookcrossing is a great help, and a supportive community.Book rings/rays I have hosted:
- The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova
- Tannöd - Andrea Schenkel
- False Impression - Jeffrey Archer, now sent to morsecode as a RABCK
- Crime fiction book box

I am always ready to trade. However, a lot of my books on the available list might not actually be available, as they've been lent out etc. Try me, though!
My Wish List, many thanks to cliff1976
