Hello everyone and thanks for taking the time to try to find out more about me. My pet Zuzu (pictured) also says hello and waves a paw at you. When joining BC back in 2010, I was pretty fast under its spell and did my best since then to become and remain an active member. I like to think of myself as a "social bookworm" and I hope BC is my perfect apple :)

Life's short, so I try to choose my lectures after recommendations of people I rely on. However, there are times when I find myself in a bookstore taking the first book that winks to me. My wishlist is more of a note-to-self of books I'd like to read, either by authors I'm fond of or simply curious and glad to find one day in a bookshop or in the mailbox. However, the list is promptly updated when I check a title off it.

Worried your PM got lost on its way? Please re-mail me at roxana.dreptu@gmail.com

I'm a fan of the 1001 books project and trust it to be one of my lifetime challenges. If you're a member/friend of the 1001-library and want some 1001 thing from my Av/TBR shelf, please PM me.

I'm glad to trade or simply share my books with anyone, but please note that I generally mail within Europe (unless a challenge or BR is involved).

I keep track of my 1001 reads using Google docs and Caroley's compiled list. Here's a link to my stats, if curious: 1001
