About meHi I live in Birmingham, UK and am an active and very keen bookcrosser.
I love reading and adore books. I collect Agatha Christie 1st editions - although I can't afford the very rare ones -and they are cataloged here too.
About my libraryAll the books I put on Librarything will be books I see as my permanent collection - and so either not registered on bookcrossing or not up for swapping just yet. Therefore there will be far fewer books listed here than on bookcrossing.com but the ones here will be my most beloved and precious books.

And, of course, you MUST get to the bookstores. They are all within easy walking distance from the train. Oxfam and British Heart Association are on Sheep Street, the Blue Cross store is opposite the Birthplace, and the great Sue Ryder store is just a block from the American Fountain and Market Square. Maybe you could do a Saturday trip sometime; not as large as hay, but a lot closer.
I'd consider June in Oxford, but the airfares this summer are unreal, what with the Jubilee and the Olympics. But in two years, maybe? We should charter a bus to take the Viragoites to Hay!

I just read your message in the Virago group and your LT name struck a chord. I started blogging in 2007 and your LiveJournal page was one of the first I followed (I was also on LJ at the time, but have since moved to WordPress). It's nice to see you here!
