    The next meeting is on Tuesday 22nd Nov in the Longstone pub, Townsend St. Dublin 2, from about 7.30pm. The book of the month is Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.

    We've been very busy lately organising the Book Crossing Convention in Dublin next year, the Camden Court Hotel April 13 -15. We'd love to see people based in Ireland coming along to the convention, especially all those wonderful librarians. Pass the message on! I'll put more details about it in a separate thread, when I get my act together!

    The Book crossing meetup is on tonight, and all boardsies are especially welcome. I found out about Book Crossing from Boards members, so I am especially grateful. One of our BC members is currently travelling around Australia to the Convention in Melbourne. So you see, Book Crossing is exciting! I myself have been to conventions in the UK, Washington DC and Gothenburg.

    Sound really interesting. Unfortunately not in the city today. Are times of the meetings published anywhere online. How do I see if any of the books I am interested in are available from the long stone meeting.

    www.bookcrossing.com

    I usually post the date/time of the monthly meeting there, under the Forum - Meetings/Conventions.

    http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/22

    We usually hold meetings around the 3rd Tuesday of every month (the week of the 20th) so the next meeting is on the 22nd April (Tuesday) about 8pm in the Longstone.

    We have a Facebook Page also called Bookcrossing Dublin (sorry I can't provide a link at the moment).

    You can search for particular books on the BC website and see where they have been released. If you want to browse any of my books, let me know, and I can send you the link. If there are any books of mine that you want to read, I can release them to you. It might encourage me to actually read the books! I do this all the time with other Book Crossers, if there is one of my books they want to read, I just post it to them (to all over the world). It's really a great way of ensuring that your books are read and enjoyed by other readers, very environmentally friendly!

    Hope you can make one of the meetups.

    Let me know if you need any more info.
