now here's a spin on your HaPpY weekend reading ~
the Guardian newspaper
today posted The Coolest  6 week Book GIVEAWAY event...
"The Guardian's great autumnal Book Swap begins this weekend
a chance for writers, readers, publishers 
to indulge in a grand act of recycling by
 taking a favourite book, inserting a tribute to its greatness, 
and leaving it in a public place to be found by someone new
This isn't a club exactly, more a secret society; 
a chance to quietly pass along a book you have loved to a perfect stranger."

here's a link to a free bookplate to insert into the book
 can be downloaded online
readers can then leave the book somewhere it will be picked up by a new owner 
and 
upload the details of where they left it 
at guardian.co.uk/bookswap or on Twitter (#guardianbookswap). 
The bookplate sticker asks the finder to upload a picture of the book where they found it, 
and to read it and review it on guardian.co.uk/bookswap.
 and what 's to keep us  from doing the same wherever we live?
then adding the info at the guardian as above to show the scope
of their innovative book swap idea?!

i don't know about you
but i'm totally up for this! and
look forward to hearing of your participation ~
which book?  and where did you place it?
on a park bench?  in a coffee shop? on a picnic table? a seat at church?
in the cinema? at a concert?
