Breaking the Trust by Lucy Clare

I released this on Sunday 26 June 2005 at The Writer sculpture, Hampstead Heath in London - Hampstead, England United Kingdom. I left it by the base of one of the chair or table legs, next to a copy of The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey, which someone had released earlier. I'd planned to meet other BookCrossers for a picnic but it was very busy and unfortunately I did not spot anyone. I still had a very pleasant afternoon sitting in the sunshine with a good book.

It was caught by a BookCrosser who left this journal entry:

The other bookcrossers can't believe we missed you. We had been keeping our eye on the Kelly Gang book and had turned away momentarily when we saw your book there as well. Initially a gent picked it up but he left it further up the hill in the grass. I grabbed the book and brought it with me. Looking forward to reading it. Sorry we didn't find you.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells

I released this on Saturday 14 May 2005 at Tate Britain, Millbank in London, England on the floor of the Art Now video installation exhibit. The person who found it journalled after reading it but remained an Anonymouse.

Enjoyable if slightly on the too sweet side of things.
However - great fun to find a book in the dark space of the lightbox at Tate Britain.
Keep going!
Plan to release it at my breast cancer hospital ward - for someone else to be surprised and have fun with.

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

I released this on Sunday 12 June 2005 at the Buddhist Pagoda in Battersea Park in London, England, UK. The person who found it joined BookCrossing and left this journal entry:

Picked up today - Sunday, 12th June at midday in front of the Buddhist pagoda, London, Battersea. Will leave in front of ancient castle ruins in Newtownstewart town, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, next week since I have already read 'The God of Small Things', and thought it could travel some more...
