What a Good Thing Bookcrossing is. Books, meetups, recycling, karma, and (by means of bookrings) parcels through the post! :D

OK, now for a confession. I don't actually own that many books. I have a few shelves of favourites, but most of my books have already been passed on to friends, left at holiday resorts or donated to charity shops. Y'see, I like the idea of not acquiring too much clutter, so I tend not to keep books I won't read more than once. This site fits so well with that philosophy - read a book, enjoy it, and let it go for others to enjoy.

Many of the books I have for release or trade are ex-Library stock (books that I bought from the sales shelf, rather than simply forgot to return, *g*) so have the usual library stamps and stickers on the first couple of pages. I also prefer to buy books in charity shops - you can get some great bargains and your money goes to a good cause.

Check out my reading log for other booky stuff.
