"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Hello!
Well, I guess it's about time I changed the outlook of my little nook here on Bookcrossing. It's been incredible, I can't believe I've been Bookcrossing for so long (it's been a great 2 years).
This site has been a welcome escape each time my finals drew near and my stress levels rocket up. It's truly one of the best online communities ever. I've lost track of the number of times I've laughed or cried with all of you. Being able to inject silliness into some of the more serious topics or discuss the most irreverent stuff with utmost seriousness here with everyone is something I'd never have imagined, it makes my world seem that much smaller and cosier. So, a big thank you to Reno and all bookcrossers.
All the books on my shelf are for trading, lending or releasing. So if you see smthing you fancy, PM me and we'll see if we can work something out. Due to work commitments, I seldom drop by the fora as often as I'd like to, but I GREATLY miss all of you!!!
So if you just wanna chat, PM me as I'm always pleased to hear from other bookcrossers.
Just a note: I'm always actively reviewing my collection to see if it's time for some of them to be released, so now and then a few new titles might pop out here.

Book quotations
It was a book to kill time for those who like it better dead. - Dame Rose Macaulay (1881 - 1958)
This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force. - Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967)
Never read a book through merely because you have begun it. - John Witherspoon (1723 - 1794)
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore? - Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight. - Robertson Davies
