I have recently joined Goodreads and have receiced several free books throught their giveaways. I have been intending to release these when I get round to it but I am not sure about one of them. It has a note printed on …
I would definitely be interested in an android app to release books and make journal entries.
I found that I was leaving about 10 books a week at my OBCZ pretty much from day 1. Then I had a busy week when I didn't manage to get to the zone immediately followed by a two week holiday. On my return I expected the s…

RE: RE: World Book Night and BookCrossing
I had an email from WBN today announcing the list of books for 2012 and saying that the process to apply to be agiver was now open. Went to the site but can't find anywhere to apply. Anyone else any the wiser?

RE: That's sweet of you.
If I found that the books had been regularly taken but not journalled I would be tempted to find another place to leave them.I suppose it all depends on your motivation for Bookcrossing. Don'…
A Zone is anywhere that somebody has released a book, it could be a coffee shop but it could also equally be a park bench.

...the hunting pages may be your best bet.I've tried clicking through the Greater London list just to see where I might find OBCZs the next time I go up, but soon gave up.
I'm sure there used to be a function for pulling up your county/area and it would list all the Official Book Crossing Zones being run in each city/village etc of that county/area.I may be wro…
First I would echo all that has been said above - label well, release more books, be patient as journal entries can happen long after a book is released.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is groups of bookcrossers …

RE: BC / world book night: catch & journal sharing (x post)
I was not a giver but a few friends were so I ended up with a couple of wbn books. I went to the wbn site to journal them and so far as I could tell there is no way to do this without registering with them.

I'm sure you will be made very welcome. Now I really must see about visiting some of your zones over the border.
James, many thanks for helping me with the picture which is now looking just fantastic on my profile and my posts. Very good of you to do this out of the goodness of your heart. I'll be checking out some of your label …
I am a new OBCZ to be found in the Eel's Foot Inn, Eastbridge. If you're around north-east Suffolk please drop by.
First of all you should bear in mind that exchanging books is not the principle reason bookcrossing exists. Having said that there are ways to do what you want.
You can use the wishlist feature on your profile. Occa…
I'm trying to sort out my profile picture. I can't get it to the right size and the picture quality is awful since I have resized it. Can anyone give me any tips about how to do this properly?
Many thanks in advance…

I have just requested some pre-nums to use on books that have been left on my bookshelf so …
