Go on a book treasure hunt!

       Bookcrossing.com is a website for book swapping or book hunting. The idea is that you can advertise your books for sharing and leave your books in a specific location where other members can find them. I found this website from a magazine months ago but haven’t got the time to try it out.

   There have been no books swapped in the Philippines yet. If you are able to try this book-swapping system already, please tell me if it works and what books were exchanged. Thanks

Summary from the website below

Welcome to BookCrossing, where 673,428 people in over 130 countries come to share their passion for books with the world. How? It’s easy.

At BookCrossing, you can register any book you have on the site, and then set the book free to travel the world and find new readers.

Leave it on a park bench, at a coffee shop, at a hotel on vacation. Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a bookshelf at the gym — anywhere it might find a new reader! What happens next is up to fate, and we never know where our books might travel next. Track the book’s journey around the world as it is passed on from person to person.

Join hundreds of thousands of active BookCrossers daily in our many forums to discuss your favorite authors, characters and books in every genre throughout history right up through current releases.

  Help make the whole world a library and share the joy of literacy. Reading becomes an adventure when you BookCross!
