well not much wild releasing lately

Worse i have been getting books instead of releasing them

3 m-bags are on my way. 2 of those I bought from 2 Ebay sellers. one is traveling, the other one I can just add books and then pay.
and then there are about 50 (aargh) books traveling through sanddanz’s house to me.

so Now i have told myself i am not allowed to get any more books, except for the last book of the dark tower sries.

Well guess what. Today I received a pm that i was the winner of a contest. i thought the winner would receive bookcrossing release thingies but KimKerry is also sending me a book of my wish list :-)

Oops i forgot I was also the Book Relay groupie of this month (August) which means 11 relay friends send you a book 9and some of them send even more then 1)

so I am only rabcking from now on. Not allowed to play in the relays, or even in the relay games swap (which is very ahrd for me)

I am planning on sending a box full of boks to a Dutch bcer who wanted The other Boleyn girl from me. i said OK but then you have to take not only that book but lots more of my hands hahaha
(no answer as of yet

So you can understand that my TBR shelf are now shelves anbd i am talking only about my Bookcrossing books.
(I better not talk about the non BC books, cause that is not 1 shelf, or 2 no, then i am talking about a lot of cupboards



Yes released 2 more this week in the wild

have released 2 others in the wild

this week. 2 Dutch books. books with a detective cat as main character, but translated into Dutch

One at the train station, the other one at the ice man. oops that sounds weird lol Where you can buy ice cream

So far of the 4 books 1 journal entry. and that was on the English book

I need more bookplates or how do you call those things. where you can add the BCID number. I wish my printer worked.
If I get some more of those plates it would be handy to already paste all the bcid numbers in the book, attach the “its free” note on them, with some information on Bookcrossing, so when I am going somewhere I just need to make a release note, nothing more



Released 2 books in the wild today

Yes I did it.
Has been a long time I wild released and it was fun.

The First book I released was a Dutch book ,translation of Sophie’s choice By William Styron. A beautiful Trade paperback.

I got this book on the 30th of april which is a big party day in the Netherlands. Everybody is selling there old stuff.
I was late and lots of people were to tired to take home the stuff they did not sell, so they just left it there.
So I took as many books with me I could carry, books not my taste but I knew if i would not take them they would end up being destroyed

Oke
so Sophie’s keuze I left in the Aldi a supermarket
http://stage.bookcrossing.com/journal/2764709
I also decided to release The Red Tent By Anita Diamant. It has traveled from the US and had 10 readers cause I made a ring of it.

http://stage.bookcrossing.com/journal/1667130

It would be great if it would find more readers



I have released a lot but want to share more

Which is good because I especially bought books on a bootsale to wild release them.

so My goal is to wild release 2 books each week for the next month.

I share a lot but in the beginning of my membership i did much more wild releases. Right now most of them are controlled releases, which is great but I NEED THE SPACE ON MY SHELF :-)
