Book Caught!
One of the books I released into the wild earlier today has been caught! Yippee! Amazing. So quickly too!
I'm very excited. I finally got around to joining Bookcrossing today and have released my first two books "into the wild". Not very exciting books, but both a good read. I left one on a park bench in Baxter Field, which is a small park in Sydenham, almost next to our house. I left the other on another bench at the end of our road. I can't wait to see if whoever picks them up will register their find. I hope so.
If you don't know about bookcrossing, you really should check out their website. The concept is quite straightforward: if you have a book you know longer want to keep, you can release it into the wild for someone else to find and read. All released books have a small bookcrossing label inside, which carries a code number. If someone finds the book, the hope is that they will log on Bookcrossing and tell and record that they have found the book - and hopefully add what they thought of it, and what they did with it once they'd finished. That way, you can track the travels of your books around the world.
