Sherman Alexie Wanders the State!

Capture a free, wandering book. Read it. Review it. Release it!

What are wandering books?  How can I get my hands on one?

Beginning July 15th, MHC will release thirty copies of our OMOB selection, Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, around the state, just waiting for you to reclaim, read, review, and release for the next reader to enjoy.  We will tweet and post clues to locations throughout the summer via Twitter and Facebook.

• Sign up to follow us on twitter @MD Humanities or Join the OMOB Group page on Facebook.
• Tweet us a suggested drop off location or email us your suggestion at info@mdhc.org with 'Wandering Books' in the subject line.

What’s in it for me? 

An enjoyable, free and fun way to read a new book PLUS it's a contest!  Readers who submit a wandering book review will be automatically entered to win a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card, and four winners will be drawn in late September at the Baltimore Book Festival.

I found a wandering book and read it. What do I do next? 

Visit www.bookcrossing.com and enter the code number found inside the cover.  This is a FREE site, no paid membership is required.  Post your review or reflections on the book. Then re-release it back into the world!   Your comments will also appear on this site.

I want to post a review, but I’m not sure what to say. 

Our Resources page can provide you with lots of jumping off points via discussion questions, other reviews, and more. 

I didn’t find a wandering book, but I want to join a discussion and/or submit a review.

You can send us your review via email at info@mdhc.org or post a comment on our OMOB blog. You can find book discussions at partner and co-host sites via our EVENTS CALENDAR.
