I usually hate Mondays, but yesterday got off to a great start. I woke up to
find a new journal entry for a book I wild released while visiting the Princess
Diana exhibit at the Dayton Art Institute. There was about an hour and a half
wait to get into the exhibit (after waiting 20 mins to buy tickets) so I put
the book (Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman) on a chair next to the queue. It
was still there as I went into the exhibit so I thought maybe it was a lost
cause. Not true! Not only did the person journal the book, but they also joined
AND used me as their referring memeber! I'm absolutely thrilled! I haven't
released many books, but it feels good to have that first catch under my belt.
I really think one of the major things that helped my book be caught was the
yellow sticky on the front and the bookmark inside, both from the BC supply
store. I honestly didn't think they would make such a big difference, but I
think they both attracted attention. Also, the "Referred by" box at the bottom
of the bookmark (on the back) I'm certain is why I now have a tell-a-friend
referral on my bookshelf!
Happy reading (and releasing)!
