BookCrossing is an original concept and a labor of love with the slogan of "Help spread the words."

How it works: Register your books with BookCrossing, then give them to a friend, a charity, or otherwise releasing them “into the wild” and following their progress and travels.

When I went on a cruise, they had a library of books that you can take and read or leave your already read books on the shelf for someone else. You can download Bookcrossing labels to put in your book. What a cool random act of kindness.

I had to laugh when I saw one of the books on the main page was John Edward’s Crossing Over.

The idea was inspired from sites like Where’s George? (which tracks U.S. currency by serial number) and PhotoTag.org (which releases disposable cameras then tracks their whereabouts and displays the pictures taken along the way). I’ve been familiar with the George site, but PhotoTag is a new one.

If I can find time to read a book from cover to cover… oh boy, I do have a few books that I need to read and review.
