Bookcrossing

I recently signed up on a website called www.bookcrossing.com. As I may have mentioned before I’m an avid reader and book lover, and in spite of the recent addition of some shelves I still have piles of books on the floor in my bedroom.
The idea behind the site is that you register a book and then release it into the wild to let the book travel as it wishes. Of course you release it in the hopes that someone will find it and report back on the website to document the book’s journey, but even if that never happens to any of the books I release I like the idea of someone else finding the book and enjoying it.

I’m what you would call a compulsive buyer of books, and I’m sure that isn’t going to change with signing up on this website, but at least I can clear out some of the books I have more than one copy of. And I have to admit I’ve been doing a little shopping with the specific intent to release the books just to have some fun. The end result is that I have about 30 books to release into the wild, or pass on to someone else who wants it. Now all I need are ideas for where to release them. Outdoors isn’t really ideal as it’s been raining a lot here lately.
