A fun way to share your books

Share your books and keep track of where your books are at.

The "3 Rs" of BookCrossing...

• Read a good book (you already know how to do that)
• Register it (along with your journal comments), get a unique BCID (BookCrossing ID number), and label the book.
• Release it for someone else to read (give it to a friend, leave it on a park bench, hide it in a tree, "forget" it in a coffee shop...). You will be notified by e-mail each time someone records a journal entry for that book. If you make Release Notes on the book, others can Go Hunting for it and try to find it!

Example:
* You read a really good book and want to give it away so someone else can enjoy it to.
* Sign up at bookcrossing.com for free and register your book.
* They assign a number to your book.
* You put the number, along with the website address, in the book (you can even make labels to use!).
* Now, you leave it somewhere (you can be very creative here).
* Make a journal entry at bookcrossing.com to identify where you left the book.
* Now, you just sit back and wait.
* When someone gets your book and signs into the website to journal it, you get an email to let you know where your book is!

Pretty simple.
