Greetings, Folks! I stumbled across Bookcrossing when I came across a Bookcrossing book in a Little Free Library, I held onto the book for a while and when I finally looked into what Bookcrossing entailed I was in from that moment on & in full force! I love the idea of potentially tracking my books’ travel once I release them. Before I came across this when I would travel if I finished a book I would always write in it that the book was from Boston so the next person would know where it had come from so finding Bookcrossing was a true blessing for me! : )

Anyways, I typically tend to be drawn to non-fiction & memoirs but make a conscience effort to broaden my horizons by reading fiction best sellers or anything anyone is willing recommend or give me.

Currently in 2022 I've read:

- Anxious People by Fredrick Backman (8 stars)
- The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood ( 6 stars- a very valuable read)
- A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier ( 8 stars - a book I believe should be read by anyone who has never lived in a civil war torn country)
- A Wall of White: The True Story of Heroism and Survival in the Face of a Deadly Avalanche (6 stars)
- The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett (8 stars)
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (6 stars)
- Born A Crime by Trevor Noah (8 stars)
- We Are The Brennans by Tracey Lange (8 stars)
- It Ends with Revelations by Dodie Smith (8 stars)
- When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi (8 stars)

Listened to:

- Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell ( 6 stars - a story I believe American should be familiar with)
- Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult (8 stars)

I do my best to spread the word about Bookcrossing by telling anyone willing to listen & leaving books where ever my adventures take me. So here are some stats that I can recall off the top of my head because I've honestly lost track over the years (ha!):

- States/Territories of the USA: 12 (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Connecticut , California, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Vermont, & Puerto Rico )
- Countries = 4 (Antigua, Poland, Scotland and the United States)

My most exciting bookcrossing moment was when a book I had left in Puerto Rico while on vacation traveled to Madrid, Spain!

When I’m not working or doing house projects, in addition to Bookcrossing, I love travel, landscape photography, hiking, boating, beaching it, golfing, skiing, …. & being outside in general! O also putting Ballycumber in my photos for my bookplates! I can't wait for the custom bookplate generator to be back up & running : )

Well thanks for stopping by & happy bookcrossing!
