-
Big Brother by Jean
Ritchie (7th April) Journalled about 10 days after release at the

quickly, as it wasn't there when I popped in a few days after release.
-

-
Truth or Consequences by
Lisa Roajay (6th April) Journalled the day after release at The Last
Word Coffee Shop, in front of the British Library. It would seem that the

it before release.

Farm by Francis Cowen (5th April) Journalled a couple of days after
release on a Victoria Line Train.

Parsons (5th April). Journalled about a month after release at
Westminster Tube Station.
-
Son of the Black
Stallion by Walter Farley (3rd April). Journalled a few days after

So far, a 100 per cent success rate for releases there, although I suspect
that the Anonymous finder of this book is the same person who journalled
and joined with my previous release.

Bagley (30th March). Journalled a week or so after its release at The
Clarence.
-
Son of the Black

-
The Exiles In Love by
Hilary Mackay (journalled 3rd March). Released earlier the same day in
Mayow Park in Sydenham, SE London. Odd journal entry, but I guess they
liked it enough to take a note of the book's BCID before burning it. Ah
well.
-
Doomed Oasis by Hammond
Innes (journalled 28th February). Released 10 days or so earlier on a
Northern Line train. I have to say, I don't understand the journal entry
at all.

-

yippee!
-

Brandryth (journalled 20th February). Released three days earlier at
Exeter Services on the M5, as we were travelling down to Cornwall for the
weekend.

that I was delighted to have caught and journalled because the release
spot was so special - Trevethy Quoit on Bodmin Moor. Released the day
before.
-
Dear Me by Peter Ustinov
(journalled 19th February). I am so glad that this book was caught and
journalled, because it was released in the coolest - and coldest - spot I
have yet found: the
Hurlers prehistoric stone circles on Bodmin Moor. (journalled 19th
February) It was such a cold day and hubby and I nearly got lost on the
Moor as the mist came down, but it was a wonderful afternoon, and the
stone circles just amazing. They are nearly 4,500 years old!
Released the same day it was journalled.

in Victoria Gardens.
-
Slide, Charlie Brown
by Charles M Schulz (journalled 17th February). Released a few days
earlier in Victoria Gardens.
-
To be the Best by
Barbara Bradford Taylor (journalled 17th February). Why is it that
every book I released by Barbara Bradford Taylor is caught and journalled?
Folks are going to get completely the wrong idea about the sort of stuff I
read. I released these books precisely because I DON'T want to read to
them! Released the day before it was journalled in Victoria Gardens,
Westminster.
-

Kelley (catch journalled 16th February). This book was released about

Portrait in Brownstone
by Loius Auchincloss (catch journalled 14th February). Released a few

fact that they found it, but they seem to have left it where it was.

Arthur Conan Doyle (catch journalled 14th February). Released a few
days earlier in the The Clarence on Whitehall.

Swindells (catch journalled 3rd February). Released the same day at a
bus stop on Cobbs Corner. This book was caught and journalled so quickly
that I hadn't even got home to make the release notes before it was

-
Killashandra by Anne
McCaffrey (catch journalled 24th January). My sixth, yep, sixth, catch
of the day! This one was released about a month earlier at the The
Clarence on Whitehall and is now presumed to be somewhere in Glasgow,
although the finder lives in America. Small world.
-
The Sisterhood by Colin
Forbes (catch journalled 24th January) released about a week earlier
in
The Clarence, a pub on Whitehall with an official book crossing zone.
Not quite sure from the journal entry, but it seems that this book may
have made its way to Norway.
-
Exocet by Jack Higgins
(catch journalled 24th January). Released about a week earlier in a nearby
phone box. I'm dead chuffed because it's my first phone box release to be
caught and journalled. I've always thought they should be a great place
for successful releases.

by Tom Clancy (catch journalled 24th January). Released the day before

- The
Wizard of Linn by A E Van Vogt (6 January 2006), released at The
Clarence, Whitehall, London Ok, so this may have been caught in
2006, but it was actually released in December 2005. My Italian
isn't that good, so I had to look up a translation for the comment
posted. It means "I must still read this".
-
Pinocchio (5 January 2006), released in Victoria Gardens, London. Yah! The first wild catch of 2006! Great way to start
the new year.
