Love the serendipity of bookcrossing, and that you can share great books with people you've never met, maybe surprise them in a completely random way. Its great to chat about stuff I've read & get some ideas - brilliant!
In my reviews I've added links to some author biographies - particularly where they are less known or no longer with us. Enjoy!
NB In my reviews: no stars = I didn't finish it
'Really wild' releases:
Roman Road nr Balsham, Cambs, on the Icknield Way 2011
Overton Hill and Segsbury Ring, on the Ridgeway, 2009
Darwen Tower 1225', Earnsdale Reservoir and Sunnyhurst Wood, Lancs, 2008
Giants Causeway, Roveran Valley Head, Girona wreck site, Carrick-a-Rede island: on Causeway coast
Binevenagh 1236' Co L/Derry. Slemish 1437', Ballypatrick & Portglenone forests, Blackhead lighthouse, Co Antrim; Nendrum monastic island in Strangford Lough, and St John's Point lighthouse, Co Down - all Ireland, 2007 and 2008
