In a break from our usual Sunday programming, I have another update on The Book Fairy. ^_^
MY STICKERS ARE HERE!
I knew it wouldn’t take as long as they were saying it would, but when they popped through the door on Friday morning I was more than a little stunned. And they’re so beautiful! The best part is that now I have them, I can show you!
This is the label that will be on the front of all books being handed out by the Book Fairy!
The first book to go out, Darren Brown’s Digital Fortress, has its sticker in place and is ready to go. All I need to do now is figure out where I want to put it! Check in later and I’ll let you know where I put it.
So excited! I really hope people enjoy the books I’m giving out. If it goes a little way towards getting more people reading, then I can only be pleased by that. If it introduces new authors, styles, genres to people who do a lot of reading anyway, then even better. If I can offer someone who has finished their newspaper a little bit of entertainment, then that’s good too.

Love the sticker and what an excellent idea!

Oh, that’s a good idea… put one in a newspaper vending machine. :>

We don’t really have newspaper vending machines here, but that would be awesome.

I wish they were. But the last time I saw one was a Simpsons episode when Maggie got stuck inside one with no clothes on. o.O

Hahaha. I have never watched the Simpsons… or Family Guy… or any of those. That sounds funny tho! :>

It was rather an amusing episode, to be sure. But I watch too much telly.

Oh my goodness, don’t get me started… I watch WAY too much myself. :>

Aaah, but is it good stuff? You can be excused if it’s good telly, right? o.o

Just FYI, I tried to type in that link and I got a 404 😦

Yes, you will do. The link goes live when I drop off the first book and finalise the images. I should have said that in the post. Lol.
Should be live by tomorrow. And there will be a button for it up top with all the other stuff. ^_^

What a fantastic idea!!! These books you’re giving away … are they just old books you no longer want, or did you buy them specifically for this purpose?

At the moment it’s books I don’t want, though I hope to keep it going later by buying books for it. I figure charity shops can use my custom and it may go towards getting more people reading. It also gives me a chance to raid Waterstones and WH Smiths for more books! :p

Looking forward to seeing how this goes—it’s such a great idea. Love the stickers!

What a brilliant and lovely idea. As an avid reader myself I love it when friends hand me a bag of books, I’m like a child in a sweet shop and can’t wait to look inside. I would love to be able to buy some of these stickers from you to put on books I’ve finished and enjoyed then hand them out myself, especially as we travel around a lot in our camper van, I could spread them round England and Europe

I’m happy to do that if you like. 🙂
I need to print off a new batch any way (I’ve used all of mine!) and make a couple of tweaks to the web address to reflect the new domain.
Let me know and I can ping a couple of sheets your way.

Yes definitely, just let me know what you want me to do. We’re off at the end of next week for 3 months so if you could possibly get them to me before then that would be great as I’ll take an extra load of books I’ve already read and start spreading the love for reading and your website details 🙂

That’s incredibly kind of you, Tina.
Let me email you and we can sort it out from there. Is the address above the best one to use?
LikeLike
Yes that email is the best. We went touring across Europe and into Turkey last year for 6 months and I wish I’d known about you then as I read 128 books in that time and was exchanging books with many people. Lets spread your happiness 🙂
