Discovered lurking at the Boardroom will take home and possibly read,will more likely just release
We're cheating like mad here, trying to get this book into the most journalled category :-) But at least we're honest that we're cheating. And the photos prove that we did all find the book!I've got a copy of this at home, so I'm now going to re-release it again...

Released on Tuesday, July 08, 2003 at The Boardroom Cafe, Hereford Street in Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand.
Given to another bookcrosser.

I am shocked! I am also not involved in this gross deception. i want this known. I have, at least, read the back of the book. Well, the first two sentences.This is book three of a series! This is equally appalling. I can't read this now - I haven't read the other two - and so I will pass it on immediately.
As soon as I get the time.
Journal Entry 5 by ORNOT at The Boardroom Cafe, Hereford Street in Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand on Tuesday, July 8, 2003
Released on Tuesday, July 08, 2003 at The Boardroom Cafe, Hereford Street in Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand.
At last, the time.
Released as pictures of the Fairlie toilets (Canterbury) were being passed around, and the fact that hot water ran in them. The taps, not the toilet. ONly the hot ones too, I'm pretty sure.
Farewell old friend.

Farewell old friend.
As this book is in such hot demand my time limit is only 30 seconds. In this space I have managed to photograph the majestic magnitude of such a book and will be forever etched in my mind. Alas a speed reader I'm not but the title will remain with tomorrow and today.
'Your 30 Seconds are Up Whiterabbit'!
'Your 30 Seconds are Up Whiterabbit'!
I found this book on the South-West corner of the Boardroom table... I'm not cheating, either, I read every word. Page 243 was particularly well-written, especially the part about doughnuts. :-)
I AM UNDER DURESS!! I am shocked - nay, horrified, at the connivances of my fellow BookCrossers - what a devious, underhand lot they are! (With the exception of the Honourable ORNOT, who, like me, was also shocked at the deception being practised: good on you, ORNOT, I'm with you! Figuratively speaking, of course.)I intend to REALLY release this book in an honest, forthright and above board manner. At The Boardroom - where else?
I haven't read this yet but page 73 is particulary interesting. I hear that page 283 is not too bad either, and that some of the pages inbetween have words on them. Discuss.
This book is doing the rounds again, this time at the New Zealand Bookcrossing Convention.

Confusing, when only reading parts of book.
Worried by the silence, Ross walked down the hallway.

Found and rereleased at Christchurch BC 3rd anniversary convention.
Paragraph 3 of page 73 is wonderful!
Paragraph 3 of page 73 is wonderful!
I prefer para 4 of page 93 myself - I quote:
"Ross found Robbington two mornings later holding down the fort at Duane Johnson Realty, where he worked part-time as a salesman. He was big and weathered and bearded, and he dressed like the prototypical Northwest iconoclast. He was slow talking and slow moving, and he seemed lost in his own thoughts during much of their conversation, rather as if were busy with something else entirely and could give Ross only a small portion of his time and attention."
My question is: who is the fort, and why was he being held down????! Concerned people want to know ...

Lovely book.
A blue cover, my favourite colour.
It has a picture of a house on the cover.

This book just doesn't want to leave home,it goes visiting for a short while then jumps back into the warlocks backpack waiting for me to rescue her.
Anyway I have read page one which starts with "He stands at the edge of a barren and ravaged orchard"

I too was at the Christchurch Bookcrossing Convention. The ironic thing is I have never read Terry Brooks and wouldn't mind giving it a try. Unfortunately, being that last book in a trilogy, this is probably not the best place to start.
And the cheat book is travelling again... actually, it's making a temporary stop at my house until the next time I'm sending a book down to one of the Dunedin Bookcrossers, and then maybe it can put in an appearance at one of their meetups.
Just remember the rules, Dunedinites: no releasing it into the wild, and under no account may you read it!!! (we wouldn't want to spoil its perfect record!)

Journal Entry 18 by Hawkette from Sydney CBD, New South Wales Australia on Friday, November 12, 2004
Hee hee hee! Amazingly, this book has travelled over to the Australian BookCrossing Convention, and I have...er...held it, had my photo taken with it, and read a whole sentence of it! I "caught" it tonight at our first official activity, at the Shelbourne Hotel - Drink and a bit of a meet and mingle! Great start to our weekend of activities! I am sure this book will be well loved during it's time in Oz!My rating is based on this sentence, on page 107 - 'But all I managed to do is to keep the two of us alive and running.' I am sure the rest would be equalling as gripping!
Caught, briefly, at the Australian Bookcrossing Convention 2004 welcome drinks at the Shelbourne Hotel, Sydney.
Awful, awful book. How can you like that bit in the middle, with a character who doesn't buy presents for other characters? But really, what do you expect from an author whose main claim to fame (according to the cover) is that he wrote the novelisation of Attack of the Clones?

Journal Entry 20 by Skyring from Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Friday, November 12, 2004
I found this book at the inaugural Australian Bookcrossing Convention, picked it up and read it start to finish, top to bottom, end to end.Good cover blurb, that. As for the book itself, I didn't read it, because I didn't think it was fair dinkum and I had the decency to say so. This is an awful charade these people are perpetrating and how they think they can send this nonsense over the Tasman, I'm sure I don't know.
Journal Entry 21 by Skyring from Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Friday, November 12, 2004
Somebody was playing silly buggers when this picture was taken. Humph.
I have touched it and passed it on. At the same I got a book from skyring called a load of croc. That is also my review of this book. NZers are naughty.And I know quizzical was in here somewhere. I have a piccy to prove it.
Journal Entry 23 by servalan from Sydney CBD, New South Wales Australia on Saturday, November 13, 2004
Newk recommended this book to me, unfortunately I don't have time to read it. I've only known Newk a few days & he seems such a sensitive petal, so I won't hurt his feelings by saying I didn't even read the spine. Released it immediately at coffee pre-mob at ABC.My photographer will be gracing this journal entry with a pic. as soon as the pixels can be counselled to leave the camera.
Journal Entry 24 by Littlemave from Weston, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Saturday, November 13, 2004
Well I think this excerpt from page 151 really sums up how I feel about the whole book. Yes, as someone rightly observed the book is of a blue colour, so if you are reading this in black and white, it's on page 256! "The toboggan slid out of the starting gate with a crunching of ice crystals under wood runners easing down the chute, quickly picking up speed."
Enough said I think! [photo promised once all BCers return to their rightful states ;-) - of mind maybe??] This book was *not* read by me at the inaugural ABC in November 2004.
Only eighty more journallers to go by my counts. MMM get to work bookcrossers
Journal Entry 26 by fushmush from Sydney CBD, New South Wales Australia on Sunday, November 14, 2004
A fantastic novel! A rollercoaster of emotion... I laughed (when I read the instructions for the cheat book) and I cried (because I didn't think of the idea first). Alas I was not able to take this book home to put on my very own bookshelf. I sadly passed it on to the next BookCrosser. How much fun did we have at the conference! What a fantastic weekend! Looking forward to next year's conference.
I snapped this very lovely bookcrosser with the book. I have managed to get my pixels to work first. Quizzical wil follow. Maybe she needs a prompt to journal.In the background is the equally delightful neesy.
Oh yes fushy I certainly had fun.
Quizzy. I KNOW she too didn't read the book. But I am sure is able to give an opinion.
Journal Entry 29 by BookFrog from Albion Park, New South Wales Australia on Sunday, November 14, 2004
Well I heard about it but didn't quite believe it but then I held it in my hot little hands - or perhaps they were sticky from the custard buns I ate at yum cha. Whatever it was I agree - it does have a pretty blue cover and I am sure I own that book somewhere without knowing it was the 3rd in the series so perhaps I will never get around to reading it as well I haven't read the other two!
I did see that one character was called Nest - the same name I called a character of mine. Interesting? Coincidence?
Anyway there is proof I held onto it - futurecat took a photo for me- perhaps one day that picture will be held up as proof that I did see this book.
Of course I don't approve of such blatant cheating and so I tried to give the book back to futurecat to show my disgust about the idea but she refused to take it so I passed it to charbono.
10 points for having the same character name as one of mine - why didn't I get published first??????

This book was thrust into my hands by newk.
I didn't read it but quickly passed it on to Mr Meganh who accepted it rather ungraciously I thought.
Of course I have an opinion. I have lots of opinions, particularly about you, newk, and about kiwis (baaa!) and about cheating. However, I am not going to share them.
Suffer.

Caught, devoured, and released during drinks at the Shelbourne Hotel.I honestly read it cover-to-cover: I read inside the front cover, the instruction sheet, a couple of random pages, and inside the back cover! And the blurb, of course.
I found a paragraph that hit me, but can't remember what page it was on *sob*.
"I want you to spin out a net of magic and throw it over my house so that the demons can't come in again without my knowing it."

Come on all ye bookcrossers - get your journals in!
Yep, keep em rolling.
Bookfrog was at the quiz night?
Why didn't someone tell me.

Took the book to visit the Chinese Garden where FutureCat and I could not resist an area called Reading brook pavilion.Newk did you not see bookfrog sitting with the kiwis on the winning team.
sorry not to have spoken to you book frog. Hey witchy and catty. Were there any passers by who you signed up for the cheat book? If not, why not?
Fantastic book. Read it so quickly that I can't remember what it's about. Someone somewhere has a digital photo of me holding the book.
Journal Entry 37 by Skyring from Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Wednesday, November 17, 2004
Here is a picture of newk and servalan. Servalan is easier on the eyes than newk and both are now more comfortable with the camera than on the previous night. Newk is holding the Kiwis' Cheat Book. The rules are that if you so much as touch the book, you have to make a journal entry, but you aren't allowed to actually read it.Newk was fiddling with his camera - as he so often was - and wondering who to give the book to next.
Journal Entry 38 by Skyring from Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Wednesday, November 17, 2004
Here is a picture of servalan a few moments later, reading the instructions.
Journal Entry 39 by Skyring from Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Wednesday, November 17, 2004
And a few moments after that...
I am shocked! What a dastardly plot! I thought I was evil minded and devious - but I have been outplotted by Kiwis! AAAARGH. First they win at trivia, then they do this. What is the world coming to?I must disagree with other journallers. IMHO, the seminal passage is on page 141. "Outside, it began to snow".
How profound is that? Such talent; such insight. I am humbled.
This photo, taken by Georgie-Shaw, shows me being whelmed as I hold the book before we set off for the flash mob at the Opera House!

Journal Entry 48 by Skyring from Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Sunday, November 28, 2004
The atmosphere in the quiet little bar became increasingly dark and noisy until we couldn't see to read or hear to talk. Neesy looked right at home in such an environment, especially when the disco ball began to revolve, but the rest of us had to seek a more Bookcrosser-friendly location.Here's a photo of Neesy in the gloom, tweeked a little to bring her out.

This book really moved me.
From one end of the bar to the other.
It affected me deeply.
Or perhaps that episode should be blamed on the pizza.
It brought me to my knees.
Once again, that might've been the pizza/beer combo.
I could not put it down.
Dorothy Parker did -- "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."
My life has changed as a result of being in close proximity to this book. I'm awaiting the test results still . . .

Journal Entry 51 by Annuncial from Balgowlah Heights, New South Wales Australia on Wednesday, December 1, 2004
I have just been reminded that I should make a journal entry on this book. It's a teeny bit of a cheat for me, because I wasn't a Bookcrosser yet at the trivia night, but I did hold it in my hand, honest!
And I even read it. Well, a bit of it. How did it go? "Softly but firmly, he thrust his huge sweating..." Ohhhhh, but I couldn't continue! I softly but firmly thrust it at Newk, who asked me if I knew the capital of Paraguay.
Someone took a picture of me with the book. Maybe they will send me a copy?

Last night I had a dream that I had picked up a book in Sydney, but wasn't allowed to read it. As the nightmare continued, k-j-h took a picture of me and then the dream switched to a really fun one about a weekend away in Sydney with lots of great company. At the end of the dream, there were emails I was reading from Skyring about people being behind in their BookCrossing journalling and I started feeling really guilty. So when I woke up I grabbed some books and registered them, and I made a few journal entries that had been piling up for when I got some time on the computer. Anyone would think that my boyfriend's computer actually belongs to him or something....
Wow! This book is fantastic, i read it so quickly it was passed on to another bookcrosser in 2 seconds flat! I did have my photo taken with it though! If someone knows how to resize photos I could really use that info!I was reading sideways :) I'm so hopeless at this tech stuff!
Heres another bcrosser "reading" this wonderful book!well that didn't go so well but I promise he is holding the book!
tee hee...you made em small but ya gotta rotate em too!!

*gasp* I've actually read this thing..but not this particular copy. The whole series has found its way to me out of bargain bins over the years (optimistic publisher printing way too many I guess).This is the last volume in a ho-hum fantasy-meets-real-world series concerning the adventures of Nest (what type of name is that anyway?) who as a child learnt she had some special abilities blah blah and is destined to help save the world from the big bad evil whatever.
Oh well, I probably just broke all the rules writing that..I'll await my ex-communication
Laid my hands upon this at the 8/3/05 Christchurch meet-up
Journal Entry 57 by BizzieLizzie from Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand on Tuesday, March 8, 2005
A very tempting book to touch and NOT read!! Go NZ in the cheatbook journals. Touched at 2 Book crossing meetups.
i got hold of this book and the energy that came from it was incredible. It screamed, 'just hold me, don't ruffle my pages by opening me, just hold me and admire my cover!!'
Who am I to deprive a book from its right to not be read? I have never forced a book to suffer an unwanted reading and I will not start now!!! Just know that I have found and passed this book on.

Best cheat book I have ever not read.
Been there, done that, got the convention fridge magnet...
OK, I finally succumbed to the Cheat book after avoiding it in Sydney. Page 177- "His portable radio squawked sharply in his coat pocket [Well, it sounds more like a bird than a radio?], and he turned away from her as he pulled it out".[....and I didn't know the book was X-rated].
Aha! Looky here....
A cheeky little book I picked up at the convention registration night.... Nice nose. Peppery, with a hint of blackberry. Would spice up any meal.

NO, I AM THE PANOPTICON
NO, I am ThePanopticon!Having read so many glowing reviews of this book I gathered it back to my habitation cylinder to try for myself - I found the pages dry and texture-less, the ink was vastly inferior to my own and what's more the binding gum got stuck in my stomach beak!
I am led to understand that many humans rate this Terry Brooks' produce highly, I for one remain unconvinced.
Goodbye from the sinister hand of The Panopticon
The man at that book signing is an imposter! I am the real Panop... I mean, I am the real Terry Brooks!
My first capture and what a capture. Words fail me. To come across this most sought after tome as my first capture is surely the work of Higher Powers. I was only able to read a fraction of it before being overcome with emotion and having to be fed hot sweet tea whilst a ministering angel mopped my fevered brow and uttered soothing words. Scorching, incandescent prose litters each page (or at least, the page I read) like a diamonds scattered carelessly across the velvet cloth of a Hatton Garden broker.
I laughed. I cried. I experienced the whole range of human experience, summed neatly up in the immortal words from this magnum opus..."Ross awoke with a gasp".
What an introduction to book-crossing. Anything else must surely be an anti-climax.
