CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
On it's way to Daffodil-2 to read/pass on to other volunteers at the Cameo Cafe and then wild release.
I enjoyed this at the theatre in Covent Garden many, many years ago, but my MTBR is so huge and I feel bad hoarding it, so going to KTM.

Received in the post today from Kirstykat along with 3 other books. Thanks very much. I shall read this one myself in due course then probably place it on the Cameo Cafe bookshelf which needs a few new titles at present. I see that the author lives in North Norfolk, as I do, which is interesting.
REVIEW:-"I loved the way this book was written and felt comfortable from the start with a female author writing from a man's perspective which felt natural. The writing was very descriptive and horribly scary in several places. I also felt privileged not to live in a world where you had to light fires in several rooms to keep warm and also light a range to provide yourself with hot water.
I thought the main character Kipps was unnecessarily brave in facing the horrors within Eel Marsh House and its adjoining land, on more than one occasion, but felt sorry that he was made to suffer so dreadfully because of it, at the end of the story. All in all I did really enjoy the book and read it very quickly but I'm not sure I shall read another ghost story very soon as it did make me very emotional and at times rather anxious."
I would be happy to read other titles by this author, preferably without ghosts. Reserved for another bookcrosser but it will go on the Cameo bookshelf first.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.
I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.
When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Released to the Cameo Cafe bookshelf this morning and already taken by the daughter of one of our Committee members, who actually lives in Aldershot. I always tell people that they needn't return the books to the shelf (although most of them do) so who knows whether it will come back? The lady in question said one of her children had studied the book as part of their exam curriculum and she, herself had also seen and enjoyed, the (two-person) play. Nice to see the book on its travels again so soon.
