Winnipeg Mass Release Challenge!
The following was the original thread that I posted for the Winnipeg Mass Release Challenge.
The highlighted links are the release locations that I used, and will take you to the books that I released.
The challenge took place in October of 2004, and I may try it agian someday.
This challenge made it into the Bookcrossing Newsletter!
You can find it under the 'Current Book Release Challenges' link.
I also had 2 pretty neat co-incidences happen because of my releases!
