I know there's a couple BXers here on campus. Post your adventures in Wild Releasing here, especially when those JE's start flooding in.

Extremely Obsessed Posts: 885 Group: Members Member #76 Joined: December 24, 2005	I'm up to 67 books journaled out of 406 books released. I keep a book in my bag for releasing, and try to release one a week if I can (sometimes I forget). I leave books lots of places, sometimes where you don't think a book would be in a safe spot for releasing. Some of my reoccuring catches have come from: * books left in the window of a free paper box outside the "EL" station a few blocks away. Books left propped up in hallway the bathrooms are located in at a local eatery. books left propped up on the baby changing stations at the local movie theater * Books left on the leave a book take a book shelf at a coffeehouse near the library branch close to me. *Books left scattered around the Lincoln Park Zoo (a bunch of which were taken and put in staff break rooms until they got caught).

I'm determined to release more books this year. I appreciate any tips on where to release. I just got my second one, though. I released it 3 and a half years ago! And she joined! Yay!

Posts: 4,160 Group: Members Member #73 Joined: December 24, 2005	I found a wild book today Actually, I went hunting for it after I got the release alert, but this is the first wild one I've come across in 4 years, so was really chuffed! The Flamboya Tree Looks like a good book as well!
