A Nice Surprise

First Wild Release catch out of 61! Don't give up hope!

After 61 books registered and released to the Unofficial OBCZ box I've been keeping updated at my local library, I've finally gotten a journal entry AND a new member for us here at BookCrossing: 13 year old "rosyrox".

The books kept disappearing and some of them even were returned after a week or two to the box, but I hadn't gotten any journal entries. So it was a nice surprise for me this morning when I read my email and saw that a book was FINALLY journaled, and thought I'd share the news with fellow BookCrossers out there.

I was almost giving up hope of ever getting a journal entry and was seriously thinking of trying to find a new place to wild release my books. But I kept thinking, "what better place than a library is there to release books?? That's what people come here for...BOOKS!" I am so glad this happened at this time. Rosyrox gave me back my hope and thanks to a 13 year old I will continue to do my wild releases there; especially my Childrens' Books!

Don't give up hope and keep up the wild releasing!
