Looking at Nikcel's post reminded me. I turn 7 on bookcrossing this month!

As I usually miss the date I want to do something to celebrate seven years membership on such a great site. So I'm opening this up to anyone who wants to enter.

Pick any thing that catches your eye from my available or TBR shelves and post a list here. Then I'll pick 7 people to send a book chosen from their lists :)

I'll pick names around the 1st of November (the actual birthday date is October 28 - but I've got a ton of stuff going on that day.)

TBR Shelf
Available Shelf

Books sent out:

CheesyGiraffe: Slacker Girl (surprise RABCK)
Elsi: Blue Moon Rising
WSS4: the series for her daughter
Gategypsy: To Stand Alone
Appaloosabt:
Cosmic-Gin:
Potok-Fan:

Congrats on your Anniversary Nim!

I was glancing at your shelf in hopes of being able to help you celebrate and I ran across some books that I would love to have. I would be more than happy to trade you for them or pay postage. They are the 'EverWorld' books by K.A. Applegate. Yes I know that they originated with me. :giggle: I loved the series and while my now 16 year old dd read them when I had them, my now 13 year old dd did not. I think that she would love them and I would like to share them with her before sending them back out into the world.

If you have no other plans for them then please let me know if you would be interested in a trade or something. :hugs:

I can pass those along no problem :)

I had wanted to keep them together since it was the entire series.

Congrats ... reading your post made me wonder how long I've been a member too (almost 5 years) my how time flies haha!

Ok, Nim if you're willing to ship internationally and the book isn't to heavy my pick would be Kahlo by Andrea Kettenmann

I hope you had a wonderful birthday on Wednesday. I was heads-down working with a customer all day Wednesday & Thursday and forgot to drop in and say "Happy BookCrossing Birthday".

OK -- I'm going to take you up on the generous offer. Here are 5 books that I thought were interesting on your TBR shelf. They are in the same order as on your shelf -- sorted by most recently journaled -- not in a preference order. I picked TBRs because I am definitely in no hurry, so if you do choose me and send me a book, take your time reading it and mailing it to me.

Blue Moon Rising
Furies of Calderon
Riders of the Sidhe
Silver's Edge
World Without End

Just saw this. Thanks so much Nim. It took me a long time to gather them all so when dd gets done reading them I will pass them along as a set as well.

Let me know if I can pay for the shipping or if there is anything on my shelf that you might like to have. :hug:

I'm so impressed with everyone who's been a bookcrosser longer than me! I mean, I thought I got on the boat pretty quick, but obviously not! I'm so glad that bookcrossing is the kind of thing that makes we bookish people so happy, that we'll stick with it year after year and keep sharing :hug:

Oh well if you insist! :wink: :whistle: (But I'm going to stick to the AVLs.)

I looked through them and thought I might be interested in one of your relatives' castoffs - "Myths that Cause Crime" or "For Hearing People Only". My third choice (especially if it's lighter-weight and easier to mail) would be "Santa, Baby".

and Happy BC Birthday! :read:

well, the six people who replied will get books sent to them in honor of my 7th year anniversary at bookxing. Since I was short one person, I'm going to send the seventh book out to a surprise person :)
