o_o Wow. That is such a cool idea! It's like finding random treasure in an adventure game! XD Woo!

I'm thinking of doing a similar release strategy on campus just before Christmas is the weather cooperates for a week. Otherwise I'll just hang them off miscellaneous things inside ^__^

You asked about the bags (I misclicked and removed your comment because I'm not tech savvy. -0.0- )

Apart from the books, each had a bookmark. Everything else was written on the bags.

i live on that street! i read the book algleas ashes

[lithrath]

Did you enjoy "Angela's Ashes" or at least leave a journal entry?

(hiya neighbour!)

[kidAmy]

So exciting... did you get a lot of journal entries from it?

[lithrath]

Sadly not, although I know they went with people, their new friends just never bothered to journal T.T

Then again this neighbourhood is mostly populated by wary, older folks who may not like their movements to be tracked. ^^;;

It's like christmastrees everywhere;)

Very fun idea. I think I might try something like this in our city park, mostly children so I'll put books for younger people out and see what happens. Thanks for the super idea!

[blackbutterflys1995]

i like the book it was sad at first i finished this weekedn aucluaaly. i didnt start it till a couple weeks later after i got it, i was reading other books

[kidAmy]

lol... Well, it's also possible that they don't have computers, either. I think the books will report back to you, eventually. =D

My friend and I are gearing up for a big release in Stratford. Would you mind if we stole your idea and hung some from trees?
