The first two books released by molekilby from the Fourth Plinth on Tuesday have checked in.
There’s a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Through a Glass Darkly, provided by waderwomen from Derby. The finder says “The book was great but its not a book i would have picked up in a shop but now i have read it i would like to read more by Jostein Gaarder.”
Secondly, a fantastic journal entry for a slightly unusal book – Strong Shoulders: A Funeral Director’s Guide to Life and Death. Hanmoynihan says “The best thing about the book was the amusing way in which I first recieved it. Falling from a clear blue sky on a sunny day in Trafalagar square. One of those days that has come to trick us into think that summer is still here when the calendar is creeping closer to autumn and winter.”
The Lost Book is an animated web series where you wrote the plot.
A couple more catches – one for Samuli and Harry Potter (“I like Harry Potter! :) I got it from a lady in Trafalgar square, she told me about this bookcrossing project, and I DO LIKE it! Great idea!”) and Ken MacLeod’s The Star Fraction released by WistfulDragon (“I found the book sitting by the fountain. I thought it was a pretty cool find and then finding out someone left it there on purpose. I love the whole concept of this book club!”).
Fantastic job, Molekilby and all the Bookcrossers who were there to help, including MissMarkey, who was snapped throwing books up to the top decks of passing open-top busses!
