If you live in South Africa and you're interested in one of my "to be read" or "available" books, let me know and I'll be happy to send it on to you once I'm done with it :)
A note on my wishlist: It is super long, I know, and contains many obscure titles. This is because I use it as a personal reminder of any and every book that I hear or read about that sounds interesting to me. It usually won't contain the sort of book that I can easily get hold of at the bookshop where I work or at the local library, but rather the sort of thing that would require a bit of hunting. As such, I am always very grateful for RABCKs from my wishlist! And in return, if you're interested in anything I have, please ask!
NOTE: Until the end of 2008 I was busy writing a Masters thesis. If I have one of your books in my possession and you're wondering why it isn't moving on: as of March 2009 I will be working through my TBR pile with a vengeance! Thanks for your patience.

Sent it as a gift, that's what you say. You are a daily visitor of the rback site. Releasing might be fun, but now I know for sure my book finds someone who actually wants it. |

South African online Bookcrossing community
If you're from or currently living in southern Africa, please check out our Livejournal community: Bookcrossing SA. As Bookcrossing is not yet very big in SA I'm hoping to get all of us who are active in touch with each other. Please PM me for more information :)
PLEASE NOTE: You can read and comment on the community without being logged on to Livejournal. However, you do need an LJ account to post a new entry. If you would like to start a new post but don't want to sign up on LJ, you can PM me with your message and I will post it on the community for you.
I'm taking part in a few release challenges, bookrings and bookrays. I try to keep these down as I am writing a Masters thesis this year (2008) while working fulltime - it may seem as though I have abandoned the challenges, but in fact I've just had to postpone them till after I get my degree. As for the rings and rays, these books take priority over my other reading - once the books arrive I will make sure I get them read and out of the house ASAP.
Release Challenges:
* African Authors A-Z

Here's what I'd still like to get hold of. Thanks to Cliff1976 for this very useful tool. Besides using it for Bookcrossing, I also like to keep a printout in my bag for those unplanned library and bookshop visits ;)
