Bookcrossing

I've known about Bookcrossing for awhile.  I think I might have registered and released a book or two some time ago, but I'd forgotten about it.  If you aren't familiar with the site, it's a place to register books so you can "release them into the wild" for someone else to find, and then follow where they go.  It's a book version of wheresgeorge.com, plus a lot more for readers and lovers of books.  There are discussion forums, and other fun ways of sharing books.

I just joined something called a bookray.  It's a planned sharing of a book.  The first person creates a list of those who want to participate.  They read the book, comment on it in the forum then send it to the next person.  They read it comment on it, and send it on.  There are books that have been going around the world for months and years.  I'm excited to be a part of it.

The bookray I joined is for Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey.  I'll put my thoughts up here after I've finished it.  The person who is reading it now happens to live close to me, so we might have an in-person hand-off of the book, rather than mailing it.  If you're interested in joining the fun, check out this Bookcrossing.com forum.  You might need to join first, I'm not sure.

Tell them ILoveBooksPDX sent you!
