Book Notes

We both love the idea of sticking notes in books for strangers to find. Today, we made a trip to the library armed with post-its and colored pens to do just that. It's good fun, and we'll probably do it again. Here are some of the notes we wrote:

Dear reader,
     You are currently holding a book that I read many times while growing up. I hope you're enjoying your time in the pages of Mossflower as much as I always did. Have a lovely day! Be brave like Martin and carefree like Gonff.
          Sincerely,
          The Library Fairy

Dear reader,
     If you enjoy this book, I highly recommend that you read The Chronicles of Prydain. It is a wonderful fantasy series written by the very same author of the book you now hold. Keep reading! It is one of the best adventures you can have.
          Love,
          The Library Fairy

Dear reader,
     This book is spindiddly! I hope you're enjoying it. I'd like to challenge you to do your own Beedle-style good deed once you finish reading. Then treat yourself to some ice cream!

Hey there,
     If you want some Poe-related silliness in your life, go on YouTube and look up "A Telltale Vlog." You won't regret it... probably. Either way, enjoy this book.

Have you ever left notes for strangers to find, either in a book or somewhere else? Tell us about it in the comments!

  1. I've always wanted to leave notes in library books! But never really got the chance too, but you certainly give me some ideas ;)
    Also, I've nominated you on my blog as you'll be able to see in my last post.
    Perhaps I'll leave notes in my own miniature library for when others borrow them.
