BookCrossing, AuthorCrossing


Welcome to BookCrossing...

where...people in over 130 countries come to share their passion for books with the world. Where books take on a life of their own. How? It's easy.

Simply click on the link below and sign up for free in less than 1 minute-- that's it!

BookCrossing is earth-friendly, and gives you a way to share your books, clear your shelves, and conserve precious resources at the same time.
Through our own unique method of recycling reads, BookCrossers give life to books.
A book registered on BookCrossing is ready for adventure.

Leave it on a park bench, a coffee shop, at a hotel on vacation.
Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a bookshelf at the gym -- anywhere it might find a new reader!
What happens next is up to fate, and we never know where our books might travel. Track the book's journey around the world as it is passed on from person to person.

Join hundreds of thousands of active BookCrossers daily in our many forums to discuss your favorite authors, characters and books in every genre throughout history right up through current releases.

Join BookCrossing.
Help make the whole world a library and share the joy of literacy.
Reading becomes an adventure when you BookCross!
