January 2008 Activities

Nach erfolgreichem Umzug nach Deutschland, und etwas laengerer BC-Pause, werd ich mein Bookshelf mal updaten.

June 2007 Activities

In honor of the new Ron-Family-Addition, I will release a few books having to do with babies. :) Congrats to Ron and MamaRon!!

May 2007 Activities

A box of German novels is going to Trekwoman. She will pass them onto people who can read German as well as release them as she sees fit because she goes to a university that has a German department! :) Cool. I'm so excited. I can't bear the thought of books (hokey as they may be) end up in a landfill and as it looks, recycling books is not quite possible in this great city!

----> sent via parcel post May 16, 2007

The other box will go to DANK. I will drive it down to Lincoln Square this week yet. I just need to register them...

March 2007 Activities

I'm actually quite disappointed. Last year one of the very first rings I started was Confessions of an Ugly Stepdaughter. There was great interest for the book. I can't believe that it was stalled with the very fist person who now is MIA. That is a serious bummer. I'm going to replace it and see what the remaining interest is.

3/11/07 second one wild released in St. Louis :)

Also just in: I have a new ring. Fun Home by Alison Bechdel.


February 2007 Activities
I finally have labels, so this month, I'm going to wild release some of them. Found a few in a box in the basement that will do nicely for that purpose.

2/10/07 weeeeeh. one gone. :)

January 2007 Activities

Boy, I finally managed to get to the post office to send Cellophane to the UK. Good grief, that was difficult. lol



Books read so far in 2007




December Activities

After a few weeks on inactivity due to babying and toddlering (and job searching!), I'm feeling the urge to send some books off to see the world. :)

So, I'm going to send the following books off as Bookrays:

Girl, Interrupted (Vintage) goes to Suffolk, UK first.
Soul Mountain
goes to South Dakota first and
Seabiscuit: An American Legend goes all the way to Queensland, Australia.
Cellophane goes to the UK

I hope for more interest.


Welcome Baby Boy

September 2006 Book Activity

The Red Tent is going to Europe for a little while. It is a PC book but PreciousArwen over there in Portugal was looking for a copy, I have one and perhaps it can develop into a ring.

alas, the book is probably gone forever. bummer, that people do that with other people's books. not too nice.

September 2006 book swap with Oldbroad:

Tade Cellophane for The Things They Carried

September 2006 Task (not too book-related but cool):

Hi,

I heard about BookCrossing via NPR and thought to myself how great an idea this is.

I was born and raised in Germany (Wolfsburg, to be exact) and moved to the States ohhh.... about 18 years ago.

I'm located near Chicago, live with my husband and 2 1/2 year old son as well as 3 cats in Oak Park.

I gladly lend any book on my PC shelf
Ich leihe gern alle Buecher auf meinem PC Regal

Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.

You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town.



And here's the map of my lifetime release challange (yea, ok, it's in its infancy... lol)
