Our Adventures on BookCrossing.com

BookCrossing is a simple and brilliant idea, kicked off by Ron Hornbaker in the USA in 2001. The basic concept is that you take a book that you’ve enjoyed, register it with the www.bookcrossing.com , get a unique ID code, and then leave it somewhere. It could be just a random place – like a park bench or a railway station – or it could be a registered BookCrossing Zone.

Words with JAM columnist Catriona Troth has released the following books in locations across the UK. If you want to follow her journal entries, her profile in BookCrossing is Kat-WWJ. Go to http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Kat-WWJ  and click on ‘All Books’.
