the little things in life...

So after school I stopped by a local coffee shop in Harvard Square. As I picked up my coffee from the bar I saw a book sitting there with a post-it on it that said 'I am free!! Look inside! Take me! I'm not lost!'

The book is called 'Eloise' - I'm sure many of you have read Eloise books in elementary school. It's the first hand account of a 6 year old who lives in the Plaza hotel.

In any case the book is a part of a site called Book Crossing. The idea is that you read a book, register it with the site and 'release' it - leave it in a coffee shop or somewhere where someone will find it. You read the book, go to the website (www.bookcrossing.com), fill out a journal entry about how you found it, and then you go ahead and leave it somewhere else for someone else to find, read, and enjoy. The idea is like the flat stanley idea - it travels around the world. But what's cool is you can go onto the website and track where the book has gone!!

What a BEAUTIFUL idea! And, if you go onto the site, you can see if there are any books floating around in your area!!

Check it out.

It really really brightened my day!

Andddddd, if you have a book you want to register and send off for someone else to enjoy, you can go onto the site and register and release a book!!

Yay!
