Book Talk » When were you last moved to tears by a book? » Moved to Tears by Well of Loneliness
ladymoonlite 18 yrs ago
Two days ago - oddly enough, when Stephen has to kill her horse. So many poignant moments in such a book, and that's the one that got to me! lml "A book on a shelf is safe, but that is not what books are for"

ladymoonlite 19 yrs ago
They've gone one step too far and I think they'll regret it - soon. Just when my area finally got an organizer, they throw this out there! Well maybe it's time to start a meeting forum here. Sorry I'm so late throwing…

ladymoonlite 19 yrs ago | 1 replies
Home of THE BLUES BROTHERS, and also the prison made famous by that movie. Okay, I'm actually in Crest Hill and not Joliet, but Crest Hill has NO fame that I'm aware of! Isn't it fun to see all of the civic pride t…
BookCrossing Site Announcements » University research project invitations coming to you by PM » Interesting, but likely of little use
ladymoonlite 19 yrs ago | 1 replies
I just finished my survey and found it of little use for many of the reasons mentioned here. The list they used (of 208 books in my case) contained many that I never read or rated - just owned to pass along via BX. Wil…

Book Talk - Wild Animus » A mass release will set literacy back 400 years » Can't finish it
ladymoonlite 19 yrs ago
I agree - I can't finish this book. I barely got past the first chapter, to be honest. Didn't finish the second before I just had to put it away. I'm frankly disappointed - I wanted to like it! I love the cover desig…
Chit-Chat » I almost died tonight. » AND never EVER smack a choking victim on the back!
ladymoonlite 19 yrs ago
While we're on the subject, I'd like to add that while at one time the Red Cross instructions included striking a choking person on the back, that is not the case any longer. Unless the victim is an infant small enough …

I know a Nick who's married to a... Tikki. I don't know where it came from or if it's her real name, but there it is. Didn't like it when I first heard it, but now I really think it's catchy. Now that I think about it…

I usually host, so I bring the little sign you can print from the website - people will be looking for you! I also bring many books, too, so it's really pretty obvious that the bookcrossing meetup starts over there wher…

Chit-Chat » Opportunity for Writers » I'm game: Explanation of Divorce Requests
ladymoonlite 20 yrs ago | 5 replies
Okay, I guess I'm ready to come out of the proverbial closet (a couple of bookcrossers know about this already, but here goes). I'm starting a magazine. Not an e-zine, but a real (we hope) live, buy-it-at-B&N type of…

I too have been away for a week or so, and on returning, I'm with those who don't like the change. But, as someone else said, that's good. I was spending too much time here anyway. This way I'll only follow one or two…

ladymoonlite 20 yrs ago
Well, it's not necessarily where I got off. Could be where I saw the book picked up by someone else, for instance. I took a train from Chicago to Pittsburgh and released three books on the train. One of them was snagg…
Release Techniques » Releasing on buses...advice? » Re: Releasing on buses...advice?
ladymoonlite 20 yrs ago | 2 replies
I've been stumped on this issue, too, when releasing on trains. What I've settled on is using the location where I lost control of the book (essentially, where I last saw it "free").
