Bookcrossing

I reactivated my bookcrossing account.

So what is bookcrossing?

That’s how it is described on the website:

BookCrossing is earth-friendly, and gives you a way to share your books, clear your shelves, and conserve precious resources at the same time. Through our own unique method of recycling reads, BookCrossers give life to books. BookCrossing books are not stagnant dust collectors, but living entities travelling the world as true BookCrossing emissaries. Our books find new readers and introduce them to the wonders of BookCrossing.

So what are you waiting for? Help make the world a library and recycle at the same time, through BookCrossing!

I also got a few books via bookcrossing friends. I haven’t released any books for a long while now, but think it will be fun to get started again.

How does it work?

You register your book on bookcrossing.com. The book will get a number. You add a note to your book including the number and the url (either handwritten or with pre-printed labels you can find on the website). Then you release your book into the wild. Leave it at the train(station), on park benches, in a café or pass it on to dear friends. If you are lucky, the finder will add a note on the website and you can see which path your book will travel. Isn’t that a nice fun?
