Well, today's parcel was from France and is part of a Bookring. For all of you who aren't Bookcrossers, I'll let you into this great idea. A bookring is where you want to share a book with a group of people because you love it. So, you register it on Bookcrossing.com and ask on their Bookring/Bookbox Forum if anyone would care to read your chosen book as a bookring. After a few people take an interest in it, you sort out in which order and where in the world it will travel and send it on its merry way. After around 2 years - give or take, depending on how many people you have on your list - you book will come back to you in a very well-read condition.
The Bookring I've taken part in is 'The Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers' by Xiaolu Guo. I have yet to begin reading it, but the premise on the back looks good.
