Travelling/Traveling Books

[katekintailbc]

It's always fun when books from a while back check back in with you. It gives me some hope that some books I've released and never heard of may be journaled years later when I've forgotten all about them.

For example, I released a copy of A Tale of Two Cities in 2008 at the Fall for the Book Festival and it just checked in with me this month in 2013: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/6563373/

I just heard in from a controlled release from 2007. The book is a copy of Sphere, which I mailed to one of the winners of my 5th Anniversary contest on the BookCrossing forum (I was at 1000 books registered and 500 books released). The book went to Hampshire in the United Kingdom, where it bounced around a little among controlled releases and wild release. It got picked up by someone in the UK and passed on to people in Spain, where it wasn't journaled. But then, a year later, it is found in Spain in a charity shop. It was read and then re-donated. So who knows where it will next end up? http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/5301514

I love watching my books do more traveling than I do! :-)
