I love this idea, but would it be possible to have bookmarks that can be ordered or printed? I'm one of those people who hate to put stickers on books. Thanks!
Would love to participate. How about making a download available for the sticker instead of having to order them.

That's not what she was talking about. You can't download the bookmarks. I would also be interested in a download
Me too! I just ordered mine...I figured I would paper clip mine to the book.
LISA WINGATE TENDING ROSES AND SUMMER KITCHEN
Every year when we take our two month road trip across the US, I pack a tote bag of books and leave them in our motel lobby or breakfast room or laundry--hopefully other guests or the staff pick them up and enjoy them.
You can use a postit note, just leave inside the cover!
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
I love this idea, but how high are the chances that besides me someone in Vienna would participate?!
Book hunting is quite popular in Belgium (Flanders) nowadays. Join us on Facebook if you want to leave your books somewhere: The group is called "De Boekenjagers" :).
Wouldn't it be better to promote Bookcrossing who have been promoting just this for ages? www.bookcrossing.com

Oh my goodness! I haven't logged on to book crossing in years! I'm so glad you brought it up!!
Think i will hide my copy of Percy Jackson The lightening theif by Rick Riordan. It was one of my favorites by him but i has some good notes they hit on like believing in yourself but also life lessons like those we think are our friends sometimes arent and that is ok because it makes way for new and better ones.
Sounds like an interesting idea except I can't think of any books I'd want to hide.
What a great feel good and share concept! Love it! I'm going to have so much fun figuring out what books to leave, where and what comments the Book Fairy will make and leave with the books. It's going to be a special day for me. I hope this idea takes off and soars!

Maybe you could paper-clip the sticker to the front of the book?

That's so cool! I want to do that! I love that you can trace the books progress! I'm definitely going to try it! Thanks for posting!
Never heard of bookcrossing. That's a great concept too. Gotta check that out as well. It feels so good to give.
I wish this was a big thing in Mexico... :(
Either way I just ordered a few stickers! <3 I'm quite excited! haha
The link has prices in pounds. Does this convert to dollars for American readers?
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese.
Book Fairies?!? I knew they existed!!!
What a wonderful concept. Lovely to ponder and plan on this.

I've been a BookCrosser for 15 years, and even though I don't visit the forums there as much as I used to, I still participate and even attend conventions occasionally. It's awesome!
It's Amazing idea 💡 , have to think where to hide the book ?
I had never heard of bookcrossing before, but I love that idea so much. I feel like that would be really popular in some more closely packed communities like apartment buildings or even dormitories. I plan to recommend it to some of my favorite librarians, too. Whoever first came up with bookcrossing is a genius!
I'd love to participate but I live in Lithuania and most people, unlike me bc I love reading books in the original language, read books in Lithuanian and most books I own are in English 🙈

It came out to $6.43 USD and paypal will convert it for you.
I just bought my stickers and I am excited to participate. I don't know yet what book I will use but I have some time to figure it out. 😀

I like this idea also as I just found out it would cost me almost $7 to get the kit and I'd rather use that money to buy a new book to hide LOL. I wonder if anyone in my area will be doing it. I know a lot of people still do geocaching so maybe
Melissa wrote: "I love this idea, but would it be possible to have bookmarks that can be ordered or printed? I'm one of those people who hate to put stickers on books. Thanks!"
Maybe it would work to create your own bookmark! I've seen paint sample cards hole punched with a ribbon as a bookmark. That way, the person who finds it can use the bookmark to pass on another book of their choice!
Shirley wrote: "Wouldn't it be better to promote Bookcrossing who have been promoting just this for ages? www.bookcrossing.com"
There's room for both, especially since they're slightly different concepts :)
I'm currently sorting out my books and about to start my Book Fairy duties in Finland, and it's so much fun to think what joy I can give to people and maybe be a part of someone starting a reading hobby!

Melissa why don't you make the stickers into bookmarks?? Jules
I would love to be part of it, but I don't think many people in Perú are going to participate.
I just ordered book marks and stickers! Can't wait!

I know what you mean. I was thinking of cutting some cardboard strips and putting the stickers on them to make bookmarks.
I would love to take part in this, but I just recently gave a ton of my books away, and I've no books that I can bear to part with left! Still, I'll see what I can do...
This is great! We actually have a take-a-book/leave-a-book stand at our favorite park and I am forever 'donating' to it!
Do you happen to have any bookmarks or book clips to be used instead of a sticker? I've got a thing against stickering a book...
It's two days after my birthday - what a fun way to celebrate! Can't wait!
Just ordered my stickers. Will be participating on vacation!
My friends and I would like to partecipate but I want to buy the stickers for them too and I can't, why?
I just bought my Goodreads Pack, which includes 9 Book Fairy stickers, 3 Goodreads stickers, and a guide to Hide a Book Day.
It cost me $6.43 in U.S. dollars, including shipping.
