Unfortunately, after weeks of trying to get in touch via Litsy, email and GR with the person who was the last one to receive the Ready Player One #dystopiantravellingbook , I am going to have to call an end to this #travelingbook. I am so sorry, @TricksyTails , I know you were set to receive it next. Thank you to @Cinfhen @blog_gal @JenlovesJT47 @BarbaraTheBibliophage and @TrishB for participating! I‘m bummed I won‘t be able to read your notes. 😞
Chellebearss Oh no! Hope they get in contact soon. That‘s such an interesting idea for a group read! (edited) 7y
Cinfhen So disappointing 😪I had a bad feeling when she never posted again after I sent the book with some additional goodies.... who knows, maybe she‘ll resurface. I know she indicated she had to move and life was complicated 7y
alisiakae @Chellebearss Me too, but is has been more than a month since I first reached out. I was worried at first that something was wrong, but I have noticed the person has still been active on GR. 7y

TrishB Awwww 😔 that‘s not good! Getting the notebook back is all the fun!! And that‘s not nice to just not respond. Thanks for doing, I enjoyed the book and love reading people‘s notes. 7y
ephemeralwaltz So sorry to hear this! I hope they resurface. Such a bummer... Not cool. 7y
JenlovesJT47 Bummer 😪 7y
JenlovesJT47 I have a suggestion for anyone who participates in traveling books. Before mailing to the next person, make scans or take pics of the journal entries, that way if something happens to it (either being taken hostage or lost in the mail), we still at least have that. I‘m sorry, it sucks when this happens. 😔 7y
alisiakae @JenlovesJT47 That‘s a great idea! 7y
monkeygirlsmama Oh nos! What a disappointment. So sorry to hear you‘ve had this problem. 🙁 @JenlovesJT47 makes a great suggestion regarding going forward with future reads. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Damn. This makes me sad. I hope she‘ll resurface or at least send the book on. It just isn‘t that hard to do. And @JenlovesJT47 is brilliant! I‘ll start doing that for my postal book club books. 7y
SqueakyChu Have you thought of using #BookCrossing for your #travelingbook? There your book can have an enduring online #journal. The journal persists long after the book disappears. BookCrossing is free to join. Think about it. I think it would go well with Litsy. (edited) 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks So sorry!!! 7y
JenlovesJT47 @SqueakyChu that‘s a good idea! Would save on postage as well. Guess it would be a personal preference. 😊 7y
SqueakyChu @JenlovesJT47 How would it save on postage? Oh, I see! You wouldn‘t have to mail the book‘s journal. (edited) 7y
SqueakyChu @JenlovesJT47 Another advantage is that anyone could read your book‘s journal, but you would have to identify each book with a BCID (BookCrossing identification number). Anyway, check it out. I‘ve been a BookCrossing member since 2003. 😊💕 (edited) 7y
TricksyTails Oh no... that‘s sad. I hope the book and journal finds its way home soon. 🤞 7y
alisiakae @SqueakyChu That‘s a good idea! I was a BookCrossinf member a long time ago...I didn‘t realize it was still around! 7y
SqueakyChu @4thhouseontheleft Yep. It‘s still here. I hope it continues to stick around. Businesses and websites are so precarious lately. 7y
SqueakyChu @4thhouseontheleft Who were you on BookCrossing? I am SqueakyChu there, of course! 😊 (edited) 7y
alisiakae @SqueakyChu That‘s a great question. 😂 It‘s been such a long time. I am going to try to log in tomorrow, so I‘ll let you know! 7y
SqueakyChu @4thhouseontheleft I was just wondering if your BookCrossing name would be familiar to me. 7y
