Release planned for Monday, October 13, 2003 at Post Office, Trzaska Street in Ljubljana, Ljubljana Slovenia.Slice It If You Can contest's smartie winner is pikapolonica. Check http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/10/188777 . That is why this sweet choco book is on its way to her. BTW, did you know that an average American eats 4.5 kg of chocolate every year? Yes, that's how here says. May it be that, since the mentioned reference is primary concerened with cacao, the data of 4.5 kg implies such an amount of raw cacao? If so, it would mean that an average American eats a 100g Milka chocolate with 25% cacao solids per two days. Nåja, this also doesn't sound that much, does it? However, when such an intake becomes regular like brushing your teeth, it surely has to have an effect. Because I know of another statistic, which says that an average American gains a kilogram a year. |

This book is to be turned into a chocolate bookring in Europe.The usual bookring rules apply, except that there is an extra condition that you send one chocolate to the person after you together with the book. And of course you will get the chocolate from the person before you. :) It should be any kind of chocolate, but preferably from your country and not more than 100g (so it doesn't add that much to the weight of the book). The bookring is closed now. Wow, I never expected such a response to my idea! :))) When you receive the book, this is what you should do: 1. Make the journal entry telling the other participants that the book is with you. 2. PM the person after you to get his/hers address. To keep the ring moving: if there's no reply after 2 weeks and 2 PMs, then PM the next person on the list for the address. 3. Eat and enjoy the chocolate. :)))) 4. Read the book and make another journal entry when you are finished. 5. Send the book and the new chocolate to the next person, preferably within 2-3 weeks after receiving it. List of participants (in mailing order) - these people already journaled the book: 1. ermintrude75, Norwich, UK 2. dangerouswoman3, Porto, Portugal 3. RaveDiver, Lisboa, Portugal 4.

Arrived in Madrid. Thank you Di78 for sending it and for the chocolate, and, of course, to pikapolonica for the idea.

Delightful book! I had read it ages ago, and then again when my kids were the age to read (or at least of being read to). And now I did it again, to discover that I have to correct BoLe: the book is still worth reading after 24!And what can I say of Di78's chocolate?. The book was a quick read, but the chocolate lasted even less... Now, off to France together with some spanish chocolate. I hope you like it black, Kanapoutz. It is my favourite, and it has less cholesterol! |

Got the book two weeks ago already, but with the holiday I didn't come round to make a journal entry.It will be great to read the book, especialy with the new Tim Burton movie in the cinema (which I want to see one of these days). Thanks for sending the book and the wonderful extra-dark chocolade, Lil-Rhinehart!! |

I absolutely adored the book!! It was very difficult to read it without some chocolate in my hands; the description of all the chocolate made that I HAD to have some chocolate myself, so the chocolate Lil-Rhinehart has send me with the book; has been eaten while reading the book.Now next week I want to go and see the (new) movie to round it all up! Thanks for making a ring of it, BoLe! And Lil-Rhinehart: thanks for the chocolate. I've asked the next in line (cinde-rella) for the address to send the book to..... |

It was a pleasure to read, but a little bit too obvious in its purpose. Even as a child I had some problems with a message written so clear you bump into it every other minute while reading. But nevertheless I enjoyed the journey through the chocolate factory immensely and I loved Mr. Willy Wonka and Grandpa Joe best. Thank you for this bookring!I found some very appropriate chocolate for Hamburg... it may not be a very fine one, but you'll see what it's all about in a split second after you open it. Enjoy! :-) |
