Books to be released onto the streets! :)

The Bookcrossing phenomenon is coming to the Oswestry Lit Fest!

We are planning to release books of all sizes, shapes and kinds onto the streets of Oswestry.  Why?  Why not? :)

Each book will have a Bookcrossing label so that if you should find such a book on a bench or in a cafe or hiding amongst the shelves of a local shop, feel free to take it, read it and tell us what you thought of it on Bookcrossing.com before sending it out again into the wild for another unsuspecting reader to pick up.

Who knows where the books will end up.  In fact, Bookcrossing tracks books around the world and it’ll be interesting to see which book makes the longest journey.

Follow the blog or subscribe to our OsLitFest emails to hear when the BIG BOOK RELEASE will take place.

Till then, check out Bookcrossing for yourself – and if you fancy it, take a book and drop it somewhere in Os.

    I love the concept of Bookcrossing and sharing a much loved work with someone you hope will enjoy reading it as much (maybe more) than you did. I’m planning on releasing a couple of corkers into the wilds of Oswestry!

    I have a pile of books, all bookcrossing-stickered up, ready to release. Can’t wait for the ceremony!
