Bookcrossing-post #2

[kseenaa]

Had a trip to Gothenburg yesterday (I'll write about that one later) and while I was at it, I brought a bunch of books for bookcrossing. :-)

At first I planned to leave two books on the train, but when we got close to Gothenburg I was told that the train was to be cleaned out, so that didn't work. Instead I left them at one of the many little coffee-shops at the Centralstation. :-) One of the books I have read myself, was very good! And the other I got from spicehobbit, after she cleaned out her bookshelf.

In to the city I went. And while doing my shopping in the HUGE shopping-mall Nordstan, I left two books at a little sitting-area when I took a break. I mean, why not? There is silly amounts of people in that shopping-mall all the time. Someone is bound to find them, yeah?

Finally all was done, and it was time to go home. When walking past the first place I left books, I saw one of them was taken! Exited! I hope whoever took it enjoyed it. :-) So I decided to leave my last two books at the Central-station to. Considering the amount of people walking through there everyday, all of them on a journey it makes sense. This time however I left them in the other end of the Centralstation, on a bench, so they wouldn't be to close to each other. :-) One of these books are also from the clean out of spicehobbits bookshelf.

A big relese! Many books released into the wild! :-D I hope someone finds a good home. GOOD LUCK, BOOKS!

Also, if anyone wants any of the books that I have marked Available in my bookshelf on Bookcrossing, then please let me know. We can figure out a way for me to send it to you and then you can release it again after you read it. Of course, I expect that you register that you got it on the site. ;-) It is very easy, and you can be anonymous if you so wish.

I just love the idea of leaving the books out. I may have to sign up for that. How do you go about marking the books?

They have a great FAQ (http://www.bookcrossing.com/faqs) on the site. And it is very easy to find your way around the site to. :-) Allow me to copy the information you asked:

Q: How should I label the book that I just registered?

A: There are several options for labeling your books. Just keep in mind these 3 things:

* The BCID (and ID-number that you put inside the book one way or the other) and the book should stay together forever.
* There should be something to explain BookCrossing and give the URL (the web address).
* The book should attract attention.

There are beautiful labels, stamps, and spine labels for your books, available at the Supply Store (https://www.bookcrossing.com/store/) to accomplish all of these things and support the site.

Other options include:

* You can find free labels on the site that you can download and print. The labels page can be found under "Books" in the left hand column of the site pages.
* Many members have designed labels. Some are listed on the labels page, and there are some on TexasWren's website.
* The BookCrossing Webring is a great resource.
* There are often announcements by members in the Release Techniques and other forums.
* You can also write the information by hand inside the book cover.

seriously that is the coolest hobby ever.

It is suprisingly fun, yeah. :-) A bit exiting to. You never know if/when or at all the books will be found. If I am unlucky they are going to end up in a trashcan somewhere, but I try not to think that way. :-P

oh, honestly, who would do such a thing?

There is weird people everywhere. :-P Do join Bookcrossing if you think it seems to be a fun idea. :-) Here are the FAQ's (http://www.bookcrossing.com/faqs) if you wanna read about it. :-)
