Book In A Bottle (Friday, January 5)

The Idea:
  1. Think of a book that you've read that has positively impacted your life, and you'd like to share with the world.
  2. Register the book at BookCrossing, where you can print a label with a tracking number and the website to affix to the book.
  3. Write a short note in the book that says something like: "This book has changed my life. It is public property and you are welcome to borrow it, but you must pass it on to someone else when you are finished, or leave it in a public place for someone else to find. If you have found this book, please go to the web address on the label and register it before passing it on."
  4. Give the book to someone, or leave it in a public place.

The Cost: The cost of the book.

There's a chance that the book may not reach anywhere, but there's also a chance that someone might find it, and it might change their life.

I left my book for someone to find on Wednesday, January 3 in New York, NY.

I think this is a wonderful idea..i'll have to choose a book that I can depart with...the ones that have changed my life seem to be the hardest to let go

I know what you mean...You can just buy another copy (or a used copy online via Amazon) if you don't wanna part with yours.

Glad you are considering it! :)
