In case you’ve not come across it, BookCrossing is “the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise”.
There’s a Birmingham group who are meeting up next month:
The Birmingham BookCrossers are hosting an author event with Mary Rochford, winner of A Book For Birmingham 2008 with “Gilded Shadows”, on Feb 11 at 6pm at Hudsons Coffee House on Colmore Row.
Mary will do a reading followed by a question and answer session. Books will be available to buy and get signed
If you fancy going along or want more info then email liz_broomfield@yahoo.co.uk.
I will be there! It should be a lovely evening, Hudson’s is a great venue too.
I used to go to this when I still lived in Brum and it’s a really nice group. Go along people, and enjoy!
I found loads of books someone left in Waterstones but the nice security man wouldn’t let me take them!
