During 2003-4 I collected and read all six volumes of Maya Angelou's fascinating autobiography. This is the second one. I'm registering and releasing them now as part of a shelf-clearing exercise. I'm unlikely to reread them and I really don't have room to keep every book I've ever been impressed by, so they're all moving on to find new readers ....

Amazon Editorial Review: "Maya Angelou's volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration. In the sequel to her best-selling I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings Maya Angelou is a young mother in California, unemployed, embarking on brief affairs and transient jobs in shops and night-clubs, turning to prostitution and the world of narcotics."

This is one of the many books I'm bringing to the Unconvention to be made available in Slack Space and/or left somewhere in Colchester city centre on the Sunday morning Release Walk!

Over a million people around the world give their books a unique BookCrossing IDentity number (BCID) before sending them out to find new readers. Since the start of the scheme in April 2001 well over 9 million such books have been put into circulation. This is one of them!
Our hope is that we can track the progress of our books once they've left our hands - and that's possible if finders like you visit the website, key in the BCID and leave a comment, however long or short. It's fun, it doesn't cost anything and you can remain anonymous if you wish. You don't have to join but if you do you'll be able to number and track your own books!
