My Open Apology

**********************************************************************

First of all, I hereby apologize to all the bookcrossers whose bookring/bookray books I am holding on to. On several occasions, I promised to send them out but there is really a lot of things going through in my life and I just forgot to do them. This is unreasonable and inconsiderate of me and I wish to seek for your forgiveness. I apologize for being irresponsible and for not replying to some of the PMs. To all the bookring/bookray book owners, I will send out all the books by the end of this year. I will journal them and mail them out asap. As I'm facing financial problems as well, I might not be able to send all out by airmail but I will definitely mail them out.

Secondly, I want to thank all of those who sent me well-wishes whether it's via PM, cards or postcards. I am very touched that there are people who understand what I am going through and who has been very forgiving and supportive. I apologize that I'm not able to reply to all of you one-by-one. But, I want to say, THANK YOU!

Lastly, I will be away from BookCrossing for quite some time until I can get my life fixed. So, please do NOT send me anymore bookring/bookray books as I most likely will not have anytime to read them. Thank you so much for your understanding.

It has been great to be part of the Bookcrossing family. But, at the moment, my real life demands more commitment from me so I have to stop this activity and do some very slowly reading on my own. Thank you for making my Bookcrossing life a wonderful one! I will be back some time next year. Till then, take care everyone and have a good 2010 year ahead!

**********************************************************************

I am taking a break from Bookcrossing activities for a couple months after August. I will be back in January 2010. For the Color Challenge and Readathon that I've been organizing/participating, I will only be participating for the last time in October 2009. For all the bookrings/rays/boxes that I'm participating, do not worry, I will journal the books, read them and pass them on. I need to take a rest because I've been sick almost all of this year and now I have my graduate and scholarship applications to worry about. I don't really think I can handle all these while being sick. While I'm taking my rest from the forums and activities, I'm sure I'll have more time to read. But at the same time, I know I will miss everyone! Thank you everyone for your kindness and generosity and I hope to see you guys soon!

Set your goals NOW and join in a summer full of BOOKS!!!
If you would like to know more about the Read-A-Thon, please contact either chucklesthescot, MyopicMeringue or myself!


I am fairly new to the book realm. It isn't like I have never read. In fact, I read on a fairly regular basis. Nevertheless, I feel that in the past I have always read my books superficially and that does not do justice to the books and the authors themselves. I am a new leaf now. I want to be more involved in the books - to actually understand the heart and soul of the book and to fall in love with the books ...

I just get into BookCrossing recently, and as I browsed through fellow BookCrosser's profile, I'm really amazed by how much everyone else can read except me. That prompted me to make some plans for myself too. I have participated in some activities and I consider myself an active Bookcrosser now :)

If you saw some books on my TBR/AVL shelf that you would like to have, please don't hesitate to pm me. I'll be more than happy to share them with you or trade some books too!
