10 Wild Releases in 2009
5 months ago
My goal is to register 10 books and release them into the “wild” before the end of 2009. I will not count books given to a specific person in this goal.
How to release 10 bookcrossing books
It made me
happy 
"great fun. hope some people are happy with the released books."
How I did it: see http://www.bookcrossing.com
follow their instructions
It is a way to recycle your books and pass them on and it is also the world's best scavenger hunt.
A book registered on BookCrossing is ready for adventure.
Leave it on a park bench, a coffee shop, at a hotel on vacation. Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a
bookshelf at the gym -- anywhere it might find a new reader!

I joined a couple of years ago and have only released 3 books. Want to release more and try to catch a wild book.

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.

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.
