Oh my, where to begin...

My name is Katie. I live in Ohio. I'm a writer and all-around nerd.

I've been reading since I was very small. I've decided that it's high time I read more books (I read plenty of magazines), and Bookcrossing is a great way to do that while passing on knowledge and enjoyment to others. Some of the books may stay in my area, but some may wing their way to my fiance in Canada. He'll pass them along, and from there, who knows?

I find myself gravitating toward non-fiction these days, so you'll see lots of requests for non-fiction below and more of them showing up on my BC shelf. That said, if there's a fiction book you think would appeal to me, let me know. I'm fairly open to trying just about anything.

I've recently started labeling my books as "hitchhiking books". What I would like to do is see if I can get one book to every country in the world without being sent there directly - it all has to be done via Bookcrossers taking it with them on adventures. Each book that is going places will have a special journal entry, so please look out for them! Also, feel free to suggest new places for my books to go, such as cities or landmarks. You can send me a PM to help me figure out where my books should go to next. If you're the lucky 'Crosser who gets the book to its final destination, please let everyone know by writing a journal entry! From there, you're free to give the book a new destination or simply let it find its own destiny. It's all up to you!
