Bookcrossing experiences

[yvi]

Four years after my first try, I registered at the bookcrossing website again today. I didn't have much luck with people reporting back afterreleasi8ng a book into the wild back then. I can see that Germany has gotten quite active in the meantime (6,400 released books in 30 days compared with the USA's 8,000 seems to imply we are actually more active over here :)).

Anyway, how was your experience with releasing books into the wild so far?

Pretty bad. The amount of books that get caught are minimal. I keep leaving my books allover the plcae, but they almost enver get caught. I am not trying very hard to improve the catch rate though.
I leave books with freinds a lot and also use bookmooch quite often. So I use controlled releases more than wild ones. I'm in Germany as well, by the way...
