Release 10 bookcrossing books

I’ve already released 4 book into the world. I’m just really picky about what I put out there. I think that people put out books that they want to get rid rather then books that inspire or they think people might enjoy. Thats what I’ve run into anyways. I’ve also been discouraged by people not registering the book. I want to see what people think and the history of the book. My next book is going to be the time travelers wife. I read it and loved it. I want other people to find it and love it even if they don’t write back.

Considering the one book I released first came back to me and then has stayed in the waiting area at the doctor’s office since rereleasing it.

I released “Life’s Little Deconstruction Book: Self-Help for the Post-Hip” yesterday to the local Goodwill. I hadn’t read it.

I released two while travelling. One was journalled before I had time to make release notes!

2 romance novels of my mom’s that were victims of the Great Purging of Clutter 2006. Heh. :)

Tempting the Wolf and Larger than Life. I’ve only read the first one.

Maybe book karma will kick in and I’ll find a release, too. :)

Not all at once, and some were controlled releases, but I have released 10 or more. I’ve gotten several catches, too, which is wonderful of course. I released most of mine during a road trip to scatter them as far apart as I could.

I want to release another 10, so this is will be on my list to do again. I also want them all to be wild releases this time.

I set the first one free tonight: “Beyond Eden” by Catherine Coulter.

Released a book this afternoon to a park bench in Thomson Park. It was picked up just a couple of hours later! I didn’t even have time to make an entry about where I’d released it!

Even cooler, the catcher had just logged onto Bookcrossing. She said she was surprised that she caught a book before having released one herself.

Mmmm. Okay. I am now incentivised to release all the others in short order. Better do a couple tomorrow, since we have several days good weather.

Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban – traded
Northanger Abbey – left at school
The two Mrs. Grenvilles – left on an Amtrak train from NY to DC
(it was hard to describe that on bookcrossings)

I may still leave books available – but I’m not getting any support from the books I have released. So I’m gonna drop this one.

Good idea. Good thing to do. Not extremely exciting or rewarding for me.

at bookcrossing. So… now to release them all! I’ll probably do it one at a time, over the next few weeks.
