I'm someone who is extremely good at buying books, but terrible at disposing of them after I've read them. Occasionally I'll get my act together and take them to a charity shop; sometimes they'll go to friends or get lent but not returned. Mostly the books that get relegated from the bookshelf end up in boxes that get carried from house to house as I move and never see the light of day, never mind being read.

So discovering bookcrossing has given me an incentive to open all those boxes and set the books free. Some will go to charity shops, some will be left on public transport and I'll try to save some for release on planes or in hotel rooms on future holidays.

It will be interesting to see where the books get to.
