I'm beyond help ...
I always knew it: BookCrossing is highly addictive. Today I couldn't resist: I had to go hunting for three books in a carpark of my district. It was worth it, I can assure you, for a number of reasons. ;-)
First of all: The Books:
1. Jane Eyre by Charlott Brontë
2. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
3. My little Blue Dress by Bruno Maddox
It isn't as if I was short of reading material. On the contrary my TBR-pile is constantly growing instead of decreasing. But anyway... It's addictive, I told you. ;-)
And then, BookHunting is always funny, as well:
So I went to the carpark. The book was well hidden on the ducting above a -luckily empty - carpark. Well, since it is above a carpark the ducting is relatively high, just below the ceiling. And so there I was, standing on tiptoes, carefully balancing, and blindly groping for any hidden books high above my head. Had to have been a funny sight.
In any case the carpark's cartaker came and asked whether I needed help, whether I had lost something or was looking for anything in particular. You can imagine how surprised he was when I told him that someone had hidden a book there on the dusty ducting in his carpark!
Well, but he wasn't at all negative about it. Even told me to give his regards to the sender of the book and tell him that he might also give the book directly to him so that he could forward it to the addressee. I think he enjoyed the surprsing evening encounter just as much as I did. *gg*
BookCrossing just is a lot of fun, guys!
