This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

(Note: I am sadly monolingual and am guessing at languages & descriptions as best I can. Apologies if I'm getting it wrong.)

Oversized paperback from the 4-for-a-dollar shelf at Book-Off; this appears to be a biography (in French) of Canadian actress Janine Sutto, who just recently passed away.

I was going to use this for International BookCrossing Day, but I might save it for gypsysmom's Canada Days release challenge since I always have trouble finding enough books for that...and this one appears to fit the special theme too.

Saturday, July 8, 2017: left in the LFL, which unfortunately was having a bad ant day. I tried to chase some of them away... (Larger photo here.)

Released for gypsysmom's Canada Days Challenge.

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let this book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

UPDATE:

• Labor Day, 9/4/17: still there: I'll have to go back with more books at some point and switch out some of the reluctant travelers.

Reclaimed from the LFL; I'll try to find another home for this book.
