Who fancies a book ? One copy of “Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro is on offer…all I ask is that you sign up at BookCrossing in return. (Well, naturally, I’ll need an address so I can post the book to you, too !)

C. 5 years ago

RABCK as many books as you can in 2008. Use Cliff’s Wishlist (or any other wishlist such as Amazon) to identify BookCrosser’s book wishes and pass them on!

THE PRIZES: (shamelessly stolen from Shaunesay’s 2008 Leap Challenge)

- Grand Prize: The 1 person with the most RABCKs will win wings for a year- to be awarded January 10th, 2009 (but started when the winner chooses if they already have a set of wings going, or may choose to receive a BC Gift Certificate for the same amount if they prefer). In the event of a tie, the winners will be drawn at random.

- Second Level Prizes: Yes, Plural! These prizes will be drawn based on the number of RABCKs released. Since I’m not really sure how many releases to expect, you’ll have to bear with me…I’m pulling a number out of the air. A $20.00 BC Gift Certificate will be awarded based on randomly drawing from all participants who release over 100 RABCKs. (It is leap year after all!) If 10 people are in the over 366 category, I’ll add another $20.00 gift certificate and draw another name. If 20 people are in, I’ll add another gift certificate and draw a 3rd name.

REPORTING RESULTS:
I will set up a separate BookCrossing thread for reporting results or you can report the results on 43things. Here is the info that I would like:

Please report your results for the entire month.

I’ll be setting up a spreadsheet for myself to track everyone’s results. If you want to use a similar spreadsheet, just email me (noumena12@ noumena. com) and I’ll email it to you. Then you can email it to me each month: )
