BookCrossing: Caroline Masters (plus two others!)

Well well well, three BookCrossing catches in two days! Two came in yesterday, one anonymously and one with a new member:

• Blue-jeaned Prince -- My friends and I found this gem on top of a newspaper box on Dunbar. We proceeded to read it aloud to each other in the park. It was an exciting, sensual tale of love found where it was least expected.
• The Gathering of the Winds -- I found this book in Pacific Spirit Park on the Council Trail. It provided my friends and me with much amusement after the fireworks at English Bay. Many thanks!

And then one came in yesterday. On Tuesday morning I left Vancouver with Biscotti and my mom and a couple of my registered books to release. Caroline Masters, by Richard North Patterson, was released in Seattle's Pioneer Square, just inside the entrance to the Underground Tour building. On Friday, the following journal entry was made by a new BookCrossing member from Germany:

I found this book on July 23 08 in the building of the "Underground Tour" when I was visiting seattle :-)
-07/23/08: the book arrived Vancouver...welcome back ;-P

BookCrossing: Affliction

For many months I have had a large box full of books that need to be labeled and released. With the start of summer and some decent weather (now gone missing), I've stepped up my efforts and have released sixteen books in the past four weeks. On Wednesday, Biscotti and I took the dogs to low tide at Spanish Banks, where I left Fay Weldon's Affliction on a park bench. Last night, I received an email with this new journal entry made by new member bbtea of Calgary, Alberta:

found it on a bench by the beach near UBC. was definitely surprised. I had not experienced anything like that. already half-way done the book. interesting read so far. planning to take it to california this summer and drop it there. whoever picks it up, keep the chain going!
