I would really REALLY appreciate it if anyone could get me a free / cheap / Bookcrossing copy of Barbara Nadel’s mystery Dance with Death. Preferably paperback. Why? Because I plan to go to Turkey again and I would really love to release this book somewhere in Göreme National Park… The murder victim in the book is found in one of the caves in the area, you see! And because Cappadocia is a Unesco World Heritage Site I can count the release for the Bookcrossing 2009 History Challenge. That would be so cool!
Unfortunately (well, sort of..) I came across Dance with Death on a Boekgrrls book swap meeting but because of my surprised & enthusiastic reaction, it attracted several interested readers. No way I could secretly steal this whodunnit away just to let it go again in a foreign country. That wouldn’t have been fair to the grrls, would it?!

So nice of you to be so considerate about the boekgrrls! I would certainly not mind you letting go of the book in such an apropriate place. But then again, who am I?

Don’t worry about those daft lassies up the bookclub! ;-) You do what you want with this book. Let them get hold of their own copies if they want to read it. The boekgrrls is more about passing on recommendations than actual books. Bookcrossing is about getting the right book to the right place and that’s what you want to do with this one. And now for some shameless advertising about my own wee pile of books soon to be read/released – see: http://patagonianplaces.blogspot.com/

@ elma: Yay! An actual blog about your trip to Patagonia! Who would have thought that you would, ever… But what a shame you disabled the comment feature ;) Because NOOOOOO, I’m not bored about your P-talk yet (at all)!
And I guess I didn’t make myself clear: I let someone else take the book… :( Maybe I should post a request to the grrls? ;)

HURRAY! A benefactor has announced herself already! That makes me so happy :))
Although my wish is fulfilled so soon, feel free to offer any other copies for me to release ;)

aha, now I understand your original post. You’re obvously mUch too polite ;-) When faced with a crowd of greedy boekgrrls at a swap meeting you have to just sharpen your elbows and push all the competition out of the way!
