This blog follows my adventures in BookCrossing--the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise. It is a fascinating exercise in fate, karma, or whatever you want to call the chain of events that can occur between two or more lives and one piece of literature.

Wild Release #543
The weather was finally nice enough this evening--still bitterly cold, but no snow in the forecast--to go to Mount Pleasant for dinner at Applebee's. I was planning on leaving Alice Sebold's "The Lovely Bones" on the windowsill in the vestibule on our way in, but the vestibule was crowded with people, so I didn't have the chance. I was going to leave it on the windowsill in the vestibule on our way out, by a kind Applebee's employee held the door open for us and wished us a good evening, so that opportunity was gone as well. I ended up leaving it on a bench outside the front doors. Judging from the traffic we saw tonight, it shouldn't be too long until someone finds it and gives it a good home.
