Bookcrossers discussion

Saturday is the day I get to take books and hang out at the coffee shop in downtown Boise. Yipee! Anyone else freeing books today?

I'm hoarding them for a release on the 21st for Bookcrossing's 10th Birthday. (Although I did find a great place for future releases on my walk today.)

I am for sure releasing some today in San Diego!

Was it a special day, and I missed it? Or maybe I didn't - I release books so often I don't pay a lot of attention.

Nothing special, but Saturday seems to be the first day I ever get a chance to spend some time BCing.

I freed several books today. Got a wild release catch last weekend, very exciting. I left a Heinlein book just outside the door to Best Buy with one of those "Free Book" stickies on it.

Saturday seems to be my best day- my son left some books at the coffee shop, then sat with his hot chocolate clutched in his fist, staring at them until someone approached! I felt like we were taping one of those wildlife shows, where the shy cheetah cubs come out of the brush and check out the cameraman

Ooh I should do that. Most of my releases go to my OBCZ or the library free exchange rack, but I could see myself dropping some off at the park on some of the tables, and sitting at a different one slyly watching...

I took five books out of the box, registered them and released them on my jogging round.

I released 5 books yesterday in San Diego. Several sci-fi (for my release challenge this week) and a sudoku book. I left the sudoku book perched on the ledge above the drop slot at a video rental store, so hopefully someone snagged it!

That's an interesting place Judy!

I got a wild catch the other day, for a book I left in my OBCZ basket. Another BCer picked it up, but not one I have ever met!

This week I'm releasing books with pictures of children on them, so lots of kids' books are going out. Good release spots are in front of pet shops :)

That does sound like a good place.

How sucessful are you at getting feedback for your dropped books?

Me - not very. 1% maybe. If that. And the thing is, I do most of my releases to a safe place. My OBCZ is indoors, serves a luxury item (fruit smoothies), has Wi-Fi, and is in a good neighborhood. So I know the owners aren't throwing books away, and I strongly suspect most of the clients are online. So, I just < sigh > and carry on. :)

Hello! I did wild-release on the last two weekends but have no journal entry for them... yet. I do hope that those books are found, and the founder simply preferred not to make a journal entry. I am planning to do another wild-release (4 books) on this coming weekend to celebrate BC B-day. If you are near or within Corpus Christi, Texas, it is more than welcome to keep your eyes on my bookshelf or twitter:)
