I am a bookcollector, collecting books that have received local/international awards. No books from Noble prize winners unless a specific book is rewarded ofcourse. But anything that received an award, from Gouden Griffels (Netherlands),Man Booker to Newbery Medals for Children's books, signed books and photo's from the winners, different language issues.
Only just begun, so what I am actually doing here is showing my bookcollection while it grows, and ofcourse, I will tell what I personally think about the books. I started with one book last week, but luckely on a flee market this week, my collection grew to 13! ALL books that I do not own are on my wishlist!!!
Ofcourse I also read other books. For the books that I already read but that are not part of this special collection I have a different profile.
I love to read, historical novels, fantasy, medieval detectives and detectives in general, everything about Asia (from novel to travelbooks), comics, biographies, children's books and books on photographers.
Bookmooching is one of my biggest hobbies (sending books around the world and receiving them for free). One of the best ways to find "hard to get" books.
Would love to hear from other bookcollectors, not important WHAT you collect!
I live in Amsterdam, travel a lot (have been to 21 countries around the world so far), and have many other hobbies: from travel to cooking, from Disney to stamps, from history to royalty, and much more.
Oh, and in case you visit Amsterdam, let me know and I give you a tour to the best bookshops (new/second hand) in town to find you some great bargains to take home.
