Track your books

Added by Allie on 20th August, 2008

If you're anything like me, you tend to read a book once then store it on a shelf somewhere, just gathering dust.

Well, why not try book tracking. All you need to do is jot a little message inside the cover to ask anyone who picks it up to email you, then leave your finished book in a cafe, or on a train (or anywhere you think it may get picked up).

Even though there's a chance your book may well end up as landfill, you may just get a surprise email from a reader in Glasgow, or Grimsby, or even Guatemala :)

That's a lovely idea - a bit like a message in a bottle!
