Journal received. I'll have to think about which books I've read that I'd recommend to others.
wombles, I might be going to the Sth Sydney meetup on 15/5/5, so I'll take this with me & see if anyone there would like to share their favourites, if you agree.

Journal Entry 6 by Skyring from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Sunday, May 15, 2005
What an excellent idea, Wombles! A book full of good books, including itself, if you look at my page. I wish I had more time to look at my own bookshelves and pick out those most thumbed!
Thanks for passing this around for return to you. Most Bookcrossers I know are flat out reading all the books they have, let alone looking for more, but you are an inspiration to us all!

I hijacked this journal for a few minutes at the Picton Meetup today (hope I didn't spill any sour cream or sweet chilli sauce on it). I can't remember what books I already mentioned, but of course I've thought of more since:
Losing My Virginity - Richard Branson (auto-biography)
The Winner - David Baldacci
Children of the Dust - Louise Lawrence
The Hot Zone - Richard Preston
Couplehood - Paul Reiser
Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal - Rachel Naomi Remen
The Witching Hour - Anne Rice
Obernewtyn - Isobelle Carmody
The Five People You Meet In Heaven - Mitch Albom
Swahili For The Broken-Hearted - Peter Moore
The Tick Tock Man - Terence Strong

I will be taking this with me to Sydney meetup on the 14th of June, then with me to Brisbane where I'll return it to wombles.
This is too hard - I can never decide what my favourite books are! I'll try and come up with a list though...

RELEASE NOTES:
I picked this up at the Brisbane Convention and not sure if this journal was to travel home with me.. but like a couple of other books it made its way into my stash bag, I have written some suggestions and will let Pookie08 write her suggestions before letting it travel to some more Aussie Bcers, I had a great time at the convention and it was great to finally meet you Wombles!
