"Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens." - Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind
Happy to RABCK any books I have available (or can bump a TBR book up my list for you), if you bookcross them on when you're done.
PMs do sometimes go astray - if I don't reply please try again!

For NSS:

I like dark chocolate, also jelly sweets, and am keen on a variety of fruit teas. I am allergic to almonds.
