Dear Fellow Reader - -

Congratulations and welcome! You’ve just found a new book and a whole community of generous and interesting folks to go with it. Please leave a note here so that we know the book is safe with you. You can be anonymous if you like, or you can choose a bookcrossing name and become a member. In either case, your email address is confidential.

This is a wonderful, wonderful book. Just open it up and read any page (well, except maybe the first one, which is a little gross). I love the quiet, intense way Frazier writes. The following passage is about the first time Inman is in the same room with Ada. It’s romantic in an unconventional way, much like the book itself (you’ll have to read more to see what I mean).

Inman had attended church expressly for the purpose of viewing her. . . . [He] had but the back of her head to find Ada by, yet that took only a moment since her dark hair was done up in a heavy and intricate plait of such recent fashion that it was not then known in the mountains. Below where her hair was twisted up, two faint cords of muscle ran up under the skin on either side of her white neck to hold her head on. Between them a scoop, a shaded hollow of skin . . . . All through the hymn, Inman’s eyes rested there, so that after awhile, even before he saw her face, all he wanted was to press two fingertips against that mystery place.

Feel free to keep the book as long as you like, but when you’re done, please pass it on to a friend or stranger. (Let us know when you do. If you register, you’ll get an email alert whenever someone new catches us up on its journey through the world.) Thanks for taking care of this book!

Dear Fellow Reader,

I’ve noticed that many bookcrossers celebrate their bookcrossing anniversary with RABCKs - - that is, on the anniversary of the day they joined bookcrossing, they commit “random acts of bookcrossing kindness,” usually with gifts of books. In that spirit and as I’ve had time, I’ve set aside twelve books that I’m especially fond of (one for every month of the first year I’ve been a bookcrosser). I am sending them along as anonymous gifts to friends or acquaintances.

This book is one of the ones I picked out for this purpose -- please let us know that it's arrived safely with you. Feel free to keep it as long as you like, but when you’re done, please pass it on to a friend or stranger. (Let us know when you do. If you register, you’ll get an email alert whenever someone new catches us up on its journey through the world. Whether you register or not, your email address will be confidential.) Thanks for taking care of this book!

Released as an anonymous gift.

I am currently reading a different book, but I can't wait to start this one soon!

CAUGHT IN HANOVER IN USA

I found this book a long time ago in a Little Library. I loved this book the first time I read it and wanted to read it again, but kinda forgot about it on my bookshelf. Now I will read it again and will drop it off when I travel to New England at the end of the month.
