BookObsessed

wow. I am glad I am not the only one.

I just read The Host (my own book) and now reading another book I just ordered Survivor by Sharon Osbourne so once I've finished that I must pick a BC book.

Maybe I will try to do what??? also is trying to. Not to get more then 50 new books this year. I already bought 4 and got 2 though.

I'm doing bad

I've read 5 books so far - and yes to of them were regsiteres by other bookcrossers but those were bookrings I didnt added to the list (they never linger around)

ok marleney I'm going to add the ring to the list so I can cross them out

also I'll add the 2009 books - hey are more that I would like at this time of the year

Good girl. Of course. then at least you can cross them off. The rings are the worst cause you have to read them in time span. How do you say that.
