We will start the rating for this book in the middle and see if it improves at it travels.

Found this beautiful, hardcovered, blank journal with 'Shades of Seredipity' stamped on the front and just HAD to have it. Naturally, the theme for this journal will be 'Serendipity'. Have you had serendipitous moments in your life? Has karma stepped in just when you needed it most? Well, here is your chance to put your story to paper for other BCers to enjoy. Oh, and it would be really nice if you could include with your journal entry a picture from where you live or of the journal in an interesting spot.

Once again, I will be borrowing a travelling journal idea from the US with this one. It will be a "stealth" journal, moving from BookCrosser to BookCrosser, purely karma-driven - no one can request it from anyone else - the current holder decides who to send it to next. If you receive it, you can make a journal entry, but please don't make release notes and please DON'T release it into the wild. When it is full it should be sent back to the originator, Kiwikat, in this case!!

HAVE FUN and TELL ALL!!! :-)

I have added my babblings and a few pictures to this beautiful book. I have also selected the next contributor, but who will it be? Where is the book destined to travel now? All will be revealed soon!!

What a wonderful, beautiful surprise to find today in my mailbox. Thank you so much, kiwikat (and alrescate) for thinking of me. I know *exactly* who I will send this to after I journal in it.

Released on Sunday, December 21, 2003 at SENT TO FELLOW BOOKCROSSER in RABCK, postal release USA.

OK, I have journaled and I am sending this on to someone who I hope can find some beauty and peace by journaling. So off it goes to spread serendipity!
