senoritafish | Free your books...

Like me, I know many of you are avid readers. How do your bookcases look? Are they overflowing? Or do you have books you can't wait to have other people read?

li_kao let me know about this, and I thought it sounded pretty darn neat. I know I have more than one copy of a few books, some I probably will never read again, and some I would love for everyone to read. This is like a tag-and-release program for books, a way to share your friends with others. You can register a book, then give it to a friend or just leave it somewhere for someone to find. Hopefully, that person will come to this website and make a journal entry so you can see where it's been. Some books have travelled all over the world this way. It sounds kind of fun and exciting to me. I know some of you do this to some extent already - wouldn't you like to have some means of knowing what happens to your paper friends? Check it out - I think it's a good thing.

I've only released one book to the wild so far, but it was a pretty exciting feeling.

Plus you can get a free advance reading copy of a book, Wild Animus by Rich Shapero, too (look in the left margin).

There's a community right here at LJ as well -
