BookCrossing - Wonderful site!

Take a look at www.bookcrossing.com

I'm not sure it is entirely appropriate to post about this here (if not, moderator, I don't mind if you delete this), but when I did a search for 'tarot', about 70 titles came up....

People sending decks out, even!

You can 'release' books into the wild, see them travel all over the world, read comments from people who find your book, and hunt for books other people have released.

I think it's a wonderful idea!

I had already posted about this in the chat forum, but that is only accessible to subscribers, and I thought it might be interesting for other members, too.


Ok, I'll shut up about this site now, I promise...

Thanks, Hedera! That is my kind of site. I love "gifting" stuff away! Annnnd, I have many, many book that I was going to 'sell' for FREE in my next yard sale.

This makes it even more fun, and what is better than MORE fun?!

Personally, I think it's a wonderful idea - if anyone finds of 'gives' a Tarot book, maybe also make a mention here - and see if an Aeclectician picks it up!

Sometimes Trades as Well

One of my library patrons goes here a lot and apparently you can also do straight trades on books although I wasn't able to find such a function. I think perhaps during discussions with community members you can set up private trades, much like this forum.

I'd rather see that my books got a good home myself than releasing them to random fate, I'd worry about the little fellows.

I'm a bookcrosser- several fruitless releases, but one completely random release- left on the table at Fazoli's- found an appreciative home, and it was a thrill.

I love bookcrossing.

Hedera -

You get many karmic coins for sharing this site

I sent it to all my friends...What a fabulous idea.....I just think it is the best.

I was cracking up when I looked in my area and saw where some of the books have ben left..LOL

Just wanted to say I wrote to them and told them I heard about it from the Netherlands......hands across the world...

Lets read more and fight less...YES!

Seems like a good website.

I am going to check it out.... Thanks, Hedera

What Fun!

Thanks, Hedera! I joined, because I'm always wondering what to do with surplus books that clog my shelves, and now I know!

I'm a member!
I joined after 'catching' a book on horsemanship at a Good Sammaritans shop in Fremantle, Western Australia. That one needs to be re-released (any horse fanatics here?) and I bought new a v.cheap copy of Harry Potter 2 to release also.

It is great fun to be on the look out for 'suitable' books to release!

Cheers,

I think it's wonderful you shared this, it reminds me of that excited feeling I would get during my childhood trips to the library... I don't think I would have found this site by myself, so I'm off to share it with people I know!
