list included house keys bills sunglasses wallets bank cards watches jewellery particularly rings and earrings So what s going on Most blame it on a busy lifestyle says Nikki Sellers the head of Esure

site with Ron Hombaker in 2001 Mr Pederson says One of the founding principles was the two things that change your life the people you meet and the books you read BookCrossing combines both Members leave books on park benches and buses in train stations and coffee shops BookCrossers hope that whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it People who find a book can also leave some remarks describing what they thought of it E mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home He says BookCrossing is a tool that allows you to uniquely identify your book and follow it on its journey We all have this life changing literature that we tend to keep on our shelf and BookCrossing encourages its members to read and release and not be shelf ish The read and release idea of BookCrossing has spread The site now has more than one million members in
