I received an email from WBN informing me that because my books had failed to arrived, I could distribute any books my collection point held, which had failed to be claimed by anyone else. So… a week after WBN I took collection of 48 copies of Life of Pi.
I felt really pleased to finally have some books and couldn’t believe that throughout my daily enquiries to the library regarding the whereabouts of my books, there was an unclaimed box sat there the whole time! It seemed such a waste that somebody wouldn’t collect them, especially when so many reserve givers - like me - were desperately trying to find books. I wonder which collection point my books ended up in? Hopefully they were distributed by another WBN giver.As mentioned in previous WBN posts, each book should be registered online and have an identification number, allowing the books’ journeys from reader to reader, to be followed. I didn’t receive any WBN numbers, so I registered each book with Bookcrossing. Needless to say, it took a l-o-n-g time! I also printed out stickers to put on the books, informing the recipient that the journey of the book could be tracked through this website. So far, two days after all the books have been distributed, nobody has logged onto the site, but hopefully they will soon.
