TBR: A History of the World in 100 Objects
Hello everyone, welcome to my virtual shelf and thanks for dropping by.
I'm now 35 and my reading time took a nosedive lately. But I still lurk the forums and manage to finish one more book off Mt. TBR right before buying 5 more.
I'm in IT/devops, I love traveling and lately I've been more of a postcrosser than a bookcrosser. The pandemic and the addition of Baby Lemon (now 2) shifted our travel model to road trips near and far.
I miss the world conventions. I've been to Oxford (2015), Athens (2016), Oslo (2017), Bordeaux (2018), and Mainz (2019). Me and Mr Lemon had our plane tickets for 2020 Gold Coast, then covid happened, and I don't expect I'll be traveling long distance in the next few years - but I'm keeping an eye on the convention threads and I hope I'll drop by an European one in the nearby future.
I'm an impulsive reader and book buyer, I often find myself in a bookstore taking the first book that winks at me. My wishlist is more of a note-to-self of books I'd like to read, either by authors I'm fond of or simply curious and glad to run into one day.
I have way too many unread books (I know, you too). So thank you for thinking of me when your wishlist search matches me, but I'm probably not the best reader for your book, I can't promise you I'd be reading it any time soon, then there's the ever increasing postage cost, the silly need to actually go to the post office, stand in line and pick up the parcel and the ever changing custom rules for non-UE parcels..
I'm a fan of the 1001 books project and trust it to be one of my lifetime challenges. If you're a member/friend of the 1001-library and want some 1001 thing from my Av/TBR shelf, please PM me.
I'm glad to simply share my books with anyone :)
I keep track of my 1001 reads using Google docs and Caroley's compiled list. Here's a link to my stats, if curious: 1001
Bookrings/Bookrays I signed up for (just my way of keeping track of those I'm waiting for):
Narrow Dog to Carcassonne [started by 4thEstate here]
Burger's Daughter [started by imawinn2 here]
Cheese [started by dicentragirl here]
