Leftover from the CUC youth group's Shrove Tuesday auction; picked up cheap for release.

To our TOC get-together at Romano's; probably for purple58 to release at the Y for World Book Night.

Thanks for finding this book!

If you're new to Bookcrossing, I hope you will take some time to explore this wonderful free and anonymous community and learn what it has to offer.

Freed any good books lately? It's good for the circulation. :)

This book was found in the library of Purple58, a very special woman whom I was fortunate enough to meet through our BookCrossing group, the Table of Contents.

Fiercely independent, with a loving heart and a wicked sense of humor, she was passionate about the things she believed in and was willing to stand up and be counted when necessary. She was truly a one of a kind individual, and she will be missed by all of her many friends...who prefer to believe that she's off in Vegas, having a fabulous time and eating as many desserts as she wants.

To be released Saturday, October 29, at the Happy Holly-Day party.

This book is released in memory of BookCrosser purple58, who wanted all of her books to find good homes after she was gone. Please feel free to read it, keep it, pass it on...whatever you wish. If you have something to say about the book, or a memory to share about Holly, please feel free to post it here: she was never shy about sharing her opinions, so she wouldn't expect any less.

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let the book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Swiping this back from the party pile to send it traveling a different way. :)

My friend Holly was strong-minded woman, with a generous soul, a great sense of humor, and a limited tolerance for idiots. Sadly, she won't be coming to our BookCrossing meetings any more: they won't be the same without her.

She wasn't big on journaling books, but she definitely believed in sharing them, and wanted her books to find new readers after she was gone.

I'd like to see some of her books go to other BookCrossers rather than releasing them all into the wild, so I'm hoping to send this book off as a wishlist RABCK: hope it brightens someone's day!

This book is headed south across the date line as a companion to some bottle caps: I couldn't see paying $13+ for such a tiny, light package, so I ended up throwing in a couple of wishlist books too. :)

Released for pinkoeria & motherof11's E-less challenge

I've had the most rotten week... honestly!

Then, yesterday, I checked the PO Box - nothing.

This morning, I checked the PO Box - and it was bursting with mail! And you know what? It was all Bookcrossing mail! How fun is that? This book has been on my wishlist for some time now; and I've been looking for it too.

Thank you so much, hyphen8 for sending it my way! What a gift at this time of year - and you brightened my day! :D
