~ SALE APRIL 2011 - ONLY $18.07 ! ~ BookCrossing, a real online bookclub, is in many ways a parallel universe. It is a place where someone in the US may buy a book for a BookCrosser in Australia, without the two of them ever meeting. It is about finding books on the end of a pier, at Paddington Station, at your favourite park and unless you are on the site you don't know these books are there. People walk past them oblivious; some pick them up briefly but then leave them behind. BookCrossers know to catch these books to find out where they have been, read them and then release them. At BookCrossing, books are registered and released with an individual tracking number. A good many drop off the radar and then turn up years later at the strangest of places. In Crossing Paths, the main character Jane disappears - for the other characters who are worried about her the clues to where she might be are on her BookCrossing bookshelf. Russell Dark, a book store owner and Jonathan Fairlight, a new age writer, begin to track her through the books she leaves behind. Within these pages eight people who cross paths with Jane Townsend will have their lives changed forever.

About the Author
Debbie Robson lives in Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia. She enjoyed writing prose set in the first half of the 20th Century... that is until she discovered BookCrossing. This wonderful online bookclub inspired her to write her second novel Crossing Paths and leave behind world wars and the 1920s. Crossing Paths is her second novel (her first being Tomaree).

The karma of literature,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crossing Paths - the BookCrossing novel (Paperback)
If you've never encountered Bookcrossing before, this book is a great introduction to the karma of literature. And if you're already a Bookcrosser, you'll love the cameo appearances of so many familiar names. Plus it's just a great story about serendipity, and being in the right place at the right time.
