I love to read! What more can I say... It has never failed me that when I find others who do... I have found friends! This is such an awesome site... I have never believed in holding onto my paperbacks... I read them to find the ones I am going to buy in hardback one day, to fill that long-dreamed about reading room... in that long-dreamed about home of mine... one day. After I am done with them I usually pass them onto friends or give them to a discount store - this site has changed that for me! I am very excited about connecting up with other BookCrossers, or soon to be BookCrossers, so I am going to stock my "bookshelf" with the books which are literally sitting on my shelves waiting for me to finish them (it is quite diminished at the moment, for I have given all the others away)... however, now their fate seems a little brighter to me because I very rarely discover what has become of them... or who has had the pleasure of experiencing the treasure held within after they are gone! If you see something on my shelf of interest... catch me early ([email protected])... and I will see that you get it instead of sending on that incredibly described journey into the wild!!! (that just gave me goose-bumps!!!)
