A decade of bookcrossing
It’s my 10th anniversary as a bookcrosser today. Strange to think I’ve been doing it for so long, although given how much I’ve done over the past 10 years (travelling all around the world, organising conventions, meeting all sorts of weird and wonderful people) 10 years doesn’t actually seem long enough to fit it all…
