Last updated: October 6, 2011

No cause to ever be bored if there's a book in the house! I was born to read it seems. I can remember getting "busted" at age 10 (or so) for reading with a flashlight under my blankets after bedtime. I also distinctly remember wondering WHY my parents got so upset because I was **reading**! There were certainly worse infractions that I could have been guilty of, after all. Sleep? Who needs sleep?

I am always willing to trade books. Anything on my AVL or TBR shelves is open to trade (unless it's part of a ring or ray). I prefer to ship US/CAN only, but will consider other int'l shipping on a case-by-case, as-finances-permit basis. Once you receive a book from me - it's YOURS! Do whatever you want with it; trade it, ring it, release it, PC it... it's completely up to you.

My bookshelf does not necessarily reflect my personal taste in books. I've been given a lot of books that I have no desire to read so I pass them on. I purchase a lot of books whenever I can find them cheap enough and I pass them on. Occasionally a particular genre may lose its appeal to me so I purge my TBR pile and I pass them on.

Ray-It-Forward & Roaming RABCK Books

The Autobiography of Santa Claus by Jeff Guinn currently with peachy93722
Skin Tight by Carl Hiaasen currently with Lei510


========================================================

RABCKs I've Given:
...to other BCers. This list does not include the many books I've given to friends and family who are not (yet) signed up for bookcrossing.
* some were drawings, some were from wishlists, some were "just because" *

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Ratings list stolen from other BookCrossers:

10: Excellent. This book has impacted me deeply, or has simply been a pure delight to read.
9: Great book - just a nitpick stands between it and a 10.
8: Good, solid book that I would recommend to others.
7: Good book, but it didn't grab me in a big way.
6: Decent, but not my type of book.
5: Maybe somebody else would like this. I didn't.
4: Only OK. Barely worth reading. The line between taking it and leaving it is very thin.
2-3: Has major problems. I don't recommend it.
1: It's hard to imagine anyone liking this book.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




I wish I was as well traveled as my books!
