Thanks to those of you who helped at the festival.

Please record your *wild* catches here, and I'll do a tally. If you've *caught* a new member, we want to know that as well...

Books counted from release at Kensington minus books brought home by Bookcrossers. This is nowhere near correct, but a fun stat to keep anyway. Humor me!

The tally as of 101019 at 1244

Total released: 910
Note: This number will change as Bookcrossers record the books they are bringing home as they remain unreleased. Hopefully, this will spur our percentage of caught books upward. :)

6of8 ------------- 2
KateKintail ----- 2
Mom-Oyster----- 1
ResQGeek -------4
RubyLadyBug --- 1
SqueakyChu ---- 15
Waterfalling --- 1

Total: ----------- 26

The neat thing about this journal entry is that it's from in individual who joined BookCrossing in 2012, journaled two books, and then returned to "catch" another book *this year* and journal it. I'm counting on this person for more journal entries in 2014 (since I can't seem to get any catches from the Gaithersburg Book Festival this year at all!). :)

Gosh, Squeaky, you clearly did something right at Kensington -- you have more catches than the rest of us put together! Congratulations!

I still have *NO* Gaithersburg catches, though! :(

A catch! Nice to know they are still out there checking in once in a while.
