Sydney, Singapore and The Rachel Papers


The tactical planting of these traveling books has hit new heights this week. A chap by the name of 'Jimmy' from Dalston has dropped by the blog and left us a message about a copy of Tom Jones by Henry Fielding that he has been in his possession for the last 3 days.

"Hi, I was on a flight on my way back from a holiday in Sydney, Australia earlier this week and found a book from your Book Crossing Project sat on the seat next to me on the plane. I didn't notice it until about 2 hours into the flight as I thought that it was someone else's. All of a sudden the painful 27 hour flight was made a bit easier for me. I managed to finish the book by the time we stopped off in Singapore Airport to change planes, so I left it in the rooftop bar they have in the main hall. There were hundreds of people waiting around for flights at the time so I am sure it ended up in safe hands. Oh.. and the twin book, The Rachel Papers arrived in my letterbox today too!"

Looks like it has all gone a bit international now. How did that book make it to Sydney? Was it you? Who found it in Singapore? Where is it now? Tell us your story and let's put these unfinished pieces together...
