We seem to have lost the stinkin' stars.. and the wings fade after a month, I gather.. Actually all I did was buy some stuff, twice, from their store.. Got a package with labels, bookmarks and sticky notes, then more sticky notes and a stamper thing..

I thought it was because you had 6 people join.

Yep, it's all about the ecommerce. :) Cute, though. Good idea for them to have them fade after a month. Gives folks a little "incentive" to buy more stuff or refer more friends who will buy stuff. Marketing works!

I think the stinkin' star came with just one referral, but the wings just appeared. If you click on a wing, it explains what the wings mean.

I agree, Max, and I certainly didn't mind buying some labels and stuff that makes my book releases easier.

I just wonder if I'll get better at releasing.

Yesterday I released five books and none were gone when I left those places.. I must be more patient.

I actually did see a woman pick one up and look at it, but she didn't take it :(

It's sort of funny, isn't it, how people seem almost afraid to take something that is clearly labeled "FREE". LOL

Really.

I got a bookcrossing newsletter today but unfortunatley aol thought it was spam.. so by the time I retrieved it I was late.. but I still went to a thread to ask for free wings, and I asked for you AZ. but think I was too late..

I just got my first notice of a book being caught in the wild by a total stranger!!!!!!! My fifth book caught and registered on the site (Wargod, ManofWar, Spy, and Eggie.. bless them..) but this was a book I left at my doctor's office...

I'm bummed our meet up was cancelled. They require five r.s.v.p.'s, we only had three signup.

i can't believe i found this thread. i've done this for years! after i buy books, i put them in the library's return with little bookmarks in them. i always wondered what the librarian who is doing the checking in was thinkin when she got to my books! i just donated 10 books last week! now i'll get me a release kit and leave them places. i think starbucks will be a good release place!

Super, Landi! I just left a book at Curves today.. and the woman who "trained" me actually had heard of bookcrossing!

I guess it depends on the library, but mostly they just sell the books, I gather..

Are you registered at bookcrossings.com yet?

I'm SeamonkeyofTVCH and we have a pretty good showing there from TVCH.

Bookcrossers!! Check the site and click on Free Book.. and if it sounds like one you would like to read, you can get it free, no shipping.. go soon because supplies are supposedly limited.
