"all set to promote literacy on the subway"
How I did it: My mom recommended the website...
www.bookcrossing.com.
Sign up is quick and easy. Fill out basic information, make up screen name (my is underliner due to the fact I obsessively underline parts of any text that I like). I purchased the stickers and am just waiting for them to arrive in the mail.
I've already decided what book I'll be "releasing first." I just have to finish it up first. I'm excited. :)
Lessons & tips: Just go, get started.
Resources: My mom.

I bought the book in ecuador, read it on the beach in colombia. so it is only fitting that it gets to travel, too. I left it at the Toulouse airport, in France, on a bench.

and it will help me with some of my other goals:
I registered, and now need to register some books, print some labels, and release some books.
Tri needs to make an effort. Seriously.
Great idea!

This reminds me of the website, Where’s George? but instead of money that’s being sent out, it’s books! I can’t wait to read/finish my copy of Jane Eyre so I can place it somewhere!

I signed up a few weeks ago, and my starter kit is good for 25 book releases. It’ll be a good way to promote reading AND clear out some of the books on my bookshelf, to make room for the books that haven’t quite made it there yet. First book to be released shortly.

I just joined! No books have been released in my area, so I’m excited to be the first one in Southeast Iowa to release books.

I released my first book today at work. I’ve got three more that are ready to go, but I’ll probably string them out over a few days.

I have reinstated this goal as a way of getting rid of stuff from my apartment. Although I technically joined Bookcrossing over a year ago, I will not consider the membership “consummated” (and thus the goal complete) until I have released at least one book. I am hoping to do this in the next week or so. I am planning to release three or four at work, which I think is appropriate since they’re all science fiction novels, and my work is related to spacecraft, which is the basis for a lot of science fiction stories.
Edit: Plus, I think a lot of people at work probably read science fiction.
I’m loving reading many books that I would never have incountered any other way! My Bookcrossing name is lunapilot
Glad to see some other online Bookcrossing people!
