share more books via www.bookcrossing.com

... I hid some bookcrossing tagged books (The Autograph Man, Playing Away and Puppets) in the big basket of free books in my local post office. People go in for stamps, see a book in the basket, take it home and read it and then they can return it when they’ve done (or not) and put books they no longer want in the basket too.
I’m kind of hoping someone in my village will register the book on bookcrossing and I’ll have found a new buddy.

I’ve released a couple of books in yesterday and today. One in St Andrews and the other in Blair Atholl.

My workplace has set up a table in the public area of our office. It is now the release location for our books. We also have a “persona” for our office to release books, http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/capscrossing and we have posted a notice on our website’s news for this month telling people about our table.

I’ll leave it somewhere in Portugal, don’t know where yet. I wish more people who find my books would log in and write that they found it at least.

I’m donating books to local book fairs. BookCrossing just doesn’t have much of a following in my region and that’s half of the fun.

I dropped off a hard back copy of Elizabeth George’s In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner in the lounge at work. Someone picked it up a few days ago, and I’m wondering if he/she will register it. I’m a bit suspicious now of letting really nice hard back books go…people tend to keep them, or even worse, sell them to used bookstores. Bad Bad!

I’ll leave one in the Heathrow airport, and one in the Istanbul airport. I’m a bit discouraged by how few books are found and registered on Bookcrossing. Someone picked up one of the books I released and sold it to a used bookstore! Luckily, the person who bought it registered it. Some people’s kids, eh?

I decided I had to find new homes for more of my books so I did a search for people with my books on their wishlist and am now sending out 7 RABCK’s to other BXers.

Released in Picton at the PierceMartin Bed and Breakfast…no one has registered it yet…keeping my fingers crossed.

I received loads of books for my birthday so i’ve spent today registering them. The result of this is that i’m now the 2nd most prolific registerer (is that even a word?) in the city of Leicester, and the 7th in Leicestershire! An unusual boast indeed :D
