A book about books and reading - does it get much better than that? This was a quick and fun read.

What you have in your hands is an honest-to-goodness gift, no strings attached. You may keep it forever and ever, pass it on to a friend, or release it into the wild like I did.

Picked up at TO meetup. It was so wonderful to see old friends!

This was a quick and fun read and I could have written most of it myself. I especially liked the chapter about how to organize your bookshelves and the state of your housekeeping relating to bookshelves and the rest of your home. I am constantly re-organizing my one Kallax bookshelf. As my life has downsized, my space has downsized but my number of books either increases or remains the same. Since bookcrossing, I am better about freeing books but my personal collection has also grown. I have my Agatha Christies in one section, my Peter Robinsons, my Jo Nesbos, my Louise Pennys, my Val McDermids - all have a special place for all the books in the series. Then there's my cookbooks (which I read like novels), self-help or health books have a section and then so do odd quirky books. Then there's the books I have kept for sentimental reasons and then there's my immediate TBR shelf but sometimes I decide I don't like this regimented system and organize them by colour or author or size. But then I go back, eventually.

Anyway, this was a fun book and made me realise that if I am book-crazy - I am not alone.

Hello - this is a bookcrossing book.

This book was released to celebrate International Bookcrossing Day - April 21st of each year! The theme I chose was "bookish books" i.e. books about well...books and bookstores, bookshops, libraries and anything else book-related!
I hope you enjoy this book you've found!!
