Release 366 books for the 2008 Leap Into the Wild 366 Challenge

I released #63 yesterday.
I’m such a creature of habit that I always go to the same places, and I hate releasing all my books at the same locations all the time. sigh

I’ve recruited my boyfriend into helping me – I sent him to the grocery store last night with a book, and even made sure he “themed” the release: he left Thin Ice next to the Smirnoff Ice. giggle

Oh, and only 3 catches for me. I am amazed at some of the catch rates people have. I live in such a lazy city!

Not much, but I’m trying to stay on track with at least an average of one a day, so I’m okay.

I dunno, for me, dumping multiple books at an OBCZ or Goodwill or exchange shelf is the easy way out, IMO. It takes more effort to actually take a book out with you everywhere you go and leave it somewhere. I’m sure at some point I will leave a few books at the OBCZ when I go to my next meetup (I always leave some anyway, so I may as well count them) but the majority of my releases with be true WILD releases. I doubt I will even reach the percentage allowed by Shaunie for releases to OBCZs, etc.

Forgot to take one when I went to the movie theatre..and haven’t been able to release anywhere else due to all the rain. I don’t want my books getting wet! (I’m outta big Ziploc bags.)

I managed to find three “wild” titles. Thank goodness for work book trading shelves full of old crap romances. LOL

I released #4 this morning. Sure, I’m not being a lean, mean, releasing machine like Apolonia, but it’s the 4th day of the year and I’ve released 4, so I’m right on track. :)

..then only 365 to go!! LOL

I don’t release a lot, and I certainly have never tried to do any kind of release challenge before. But in 2008 I really want to rid myself of as many books as I can, and this seems the way to do it. 366 books is a bit overwhelming, but if I set my mind to it, I know I can get it done. I like that Shaunesay’s challenge has no theme, which definitely makes it a lot easier.

I’ve already prepped about 20 books for release so I am ready to go tomorrow! I want to start out strong so I don’t have to do a lot of catching up at the end of the year; I hope to get a decent head start in January. Hmm…if I solicit my boyfriend to leave a couple of books for me, is that okay? Must find out!
