Jen, Welcome to Bookcrossing! It is so many things to different people. I have friends who are in it for the releasing - specifically the challenges. I used to do a lot of trading. Nowadays, I'm so involved in different reading groups that I don't have a lot of time for trading. Most importantly, Bookcrossing has broadened my reading horizons. I have picked up books that I never would have thought of reading because of someone's recommendation.
Abyhow, I'm sure you'll like what you find in BC. Welcome!

I'm Jen and I just joined Book Crossing. I haven't registered any books yet and I'm looking forward to getting started, but I have to get back to working on my NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) Novel. Finding about Book Crossing was the perfect procrastination from my NaNo goal. I love reading everything and most anything (Mystery, Fiction, Non- Fiction, Science Fiction, Teen (even though I'm far from that age group), History...I think you get the point). Lately, I've been finding books from my past. I stumbled upon a couple sci-fi books that I had been trying to find for over a decade (The Gandalara Cycle - Randall Garrett and Vicki Ann Hedron), it doesn't help when you can't remember the author's names and the name of the book. I can't wait to start rereading them, but of course, I need to wait till November is over (again with procrastinating from NaNo). Things that reading now: Fair Game - Valerie Plame, *A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson, The Gandalara Cycle I - Randall Garrett and Vicki Ann Hedron Things I'll soon add to Book Crossing: Blowing My Cover - My Life as a CIA Spy - Lindsay Moran, Another Fine Myth - Robert Asprin, Briar Rose - Jane Yolen. I look forward to this new Book Crossing adventure.
