One of the multitudes of unregistered books in bumma's room when cancer claimed her June 28. She asked me to register and release her library for her. I do so in her memory and in her honor. She was the one who instilled my love of reading and of books. She was a fantastic mom and I miss her.

I'll be releasing this in Bumma's memory some day soon. Two years since death took my dearest friend from me.

This book was one of 187 books that made up our Christmas tree this year, which entirely made from books by as many authors as I could find quickly that we personally know/knew. All the rest of the books were BookCrossing books that were ready to be released, or were already read. Nothing was taken from a shelf, which is REALLY scary! ). Click here for a larger version or here for the aftermath.

Sending this off as a RABCK to a good friend, whom I've never met. I think Bumma would be happy to see it head off to this person.

Mailing today.

Sending this off as a RABCK to a good friend, whom I've never met. I think Bumma would be happy to see it head off to the person I am RABCKing. Plus, I really like the idea of one of bumma's books, sent to her by another BookCrosser, going to yet a third woman of the book.

Enjoy!
