The NYC Bookcrossing Meetup

"I heard of the bookcrossing website from another book club I attend. I really like the concept and would like to participate in person, in addition to the bookcrossing website."

"I cover the space program for National Public Radio, and wrote the new book "Final Countdown: NASA and the End of the Space Shuttle Program". Just spoke about it at Harvard, and I'm looking to get the word out on it. "

"I like to read a lot. I would like to meet fellow readers and swap books. I have mostly read popular titles, both classics and modern - I am looking forward to exploring varied topics in this group. I am from India and have been in NY for 7 months n"

"Thanks for taking charge!"

"Hoorah! I'm so glad you're going to be an organizer. I've loved the books you've left. You obviously appreciate the spirit of bookcrossing as much as anyone. I'm looking forward to the next meetup and am curious to see what you've got planned. This month is too late but May will have lovely weather. Maybe you can plan an outdoor meetup! I've yet to attend one of those. Good luck in the future!"
