I have been duly chastised for not updating lately

Yesterday I stopped off at the post office on my way home to mail the HELOC stuff, and while using the automated postal machine thingee (that's its official name, I swear!) I found my first Bookcrossing book. It's Learning Curves by Cindi Myers, and the poor thing's only been to Ohio and Kansas. The best I might be able to do is release it in Missouri after I read it.

I've toyed with the idea of 'releasing' some books, but I'd be broken-hearted when (if) they 'disappeared'. I think half the fun would be tracking the books after they're gone, to see what fun and exciting places they've been.

Oh goodness. These books are having more fun than I am! I need a vacation... :(

I've never come across one. But I have a couple that might should be released ... I didn't really care for them, but that doesn't mean someone else might not!

It's a good thing to do with them, because you're right - tastes vary, and someone might appreciate it. I was excited to find it, even though the book doesn't interest me that much. It's a Harlequin. ick!

Eh, I get into romance/Harlequin kicks sometimes. But I read them because they're those sorts of books ... the predictability and everything, that's part of the fun when I get on the addiction that sort of reading kick. It only happens about once a year these days, luckily enough.

I LURVE romances, but not Harlequins so much. I'll probably give it a try, but I'm not expecting much. I'm more fond of historical ones.

Maybe this book will have to travel to Tennessee...

Hehe.

I'm looking at this bookcrossing thing, and it's really very interesting. Perhaps when I have a bit of spare change I'll buy a small kit and release several books I have laying around.

... apparently TN is as illiterate as I feared. There's very few hunting grounds around here.

I just saved the image and was going to print it out and tape to the books. I'm too cheap. :)

[gelsey.livejournal.com]

... why did I not think of that? Doh!

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Because you don't possess my innate cheapskatedness? :)

[gelsey.livejournal.com]

No. Probably b/c my brain broke ages ago.

Of course, printing them out requires I go buy black ink. Erg. I've been printing things out in blue lately.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

...and you can't print these out blue? :D (again, me being cheap, and lazy)

[gelsey.livejournal.com]

Snorfle. Yeah, I suppose I can, at that.

I signed up for Bookcrossing a while ago, but I can't bring myself to release any of my books. Except a few YA or children's books, but that doesn't seem like the sort people are hunting for.

I have a hard time letting go (as evidenced by my book collection), so I understand!
