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 Releases #695 & #696
I'm on a mini road trip to State College this weekend for the second annual American Cancer Society Daffodil Days Leadership Conference. If I learn half as much as I did last year, it will be a great success. Road trips are always great opportunities to leave books in new places, and this one is no exception. I left Garrison Keillor's "Book of Guys" on top of a gas pump at Sheetz in New Alexandria, and I left Kathryn R. Wall's "Perdition House" on a couch by the elevators on the third floor of The Penn Stater in State College.

I've recently joined Bookcrossing.com - Do you get many people picking up your books and registering them?
Hi, Nikki-ann! Welcome to BookCrossing. A little over 1 in 10 books I release have been found and journalled so far, and every new journal entry is a thrill. For me, most of the fun is in doing themed releases when I can, and getting back to actually reading. I hope you enjoy BookCrossing as much as I do.
