Round #2

Bookcrossing & Book Crossers purposely leave their books where they think it might be picked up, and anyone is free to take the book with hopes of passing it on. There are currently 1,931,250 BookCrossers and 13,706,973 books traveling throughout 132 countries.

There is also a group called the Book Fairies - doing the same thing. Emma Watson and Kate Middleton are Book Fairies.

Random acts of kindness = free books!

For this swap, let us do the same but with a twist. Make it a habit if you can for 2022.

Swap: send your one (1) partner a postcard/notecard and tell them:

  • what book you left "in the wild"

  • date of the event

  • title & author.

  • I highly suggest leaving a note for the "finder".

  • Bookcrossing recommends putting in a plastic baggie if you leave it outside

You can tell your partner more information such as

  • did you watch to see if anyone picked it up

  • have you been bookcrossing for years or this is the first time

  • did you highlight your favorite quotes in the book

  • did you leave a note or use a BookCrossing free template

  • is BookCrossing popular in your area or US state (it's really popular in Germany, Australia & US)

Do I need to be a member of BookCrossing or Book Fairies or can I be part of this swap even if I'm not?

Hi Risna - I PM'd you but for anyone else, no requirement to be a part of the Bookcrossing or Book Fairies group to join this swap. There are a lot of swappers who are already members of the groups and just wanted to let everyone know there are more fun readers like us to be a part of and grow together! Thanks Risna for the great question!!
