100 Books Project :: Paris, Part Two
January 28, 2011
{Book #90, left in Paris, France by Book Fairy Tara Bradford.}
Today’s Give Away is for another Tokyo Mystery Gift ~ the last one for the week!
Um, OK, I am the tiniest bit heartbroken to say this, but it looks like I accidentally deleted the email I received from the person who found Book #90! But I did receive an email and perhaps I will stumble upon it the next time I go on one of my email organizing rampages and I’ll say, “Oh ~ there you are!”
In the meantime, this email popped into my box last November, and it gave me a huge smile:
Hi there!
I just wanted to let you know that I have received one of your books and it is #30. I had my eye on this book for a little while and it was on my Amazon wish list. I actually got one from the used section and when I received it the book was like brand new. When I saw the sticker in the book explaining about the 100 books you sent out into the world, it triggered the memory of my having read this concept of yours in one of my art magazines put out by Stampington Company. So I was thrilled to have actually received one. And the book is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks alot

Book #30 was originally left in downtown San Francisco by Book Fairy Kate Swoboda, so it looks like whoever found it decided to sell it on Amazon, and it ended up being sent to Julie, who had read about the 100 Books Project right here. In other words, it ended up going exactly where it was supposed to.
i am glad the book got to the right person. sometimes it gets to you the long way round.great story.
I love how things and people all seem to end up where they are supposed to be!
So fun what you have been doing with the books. I did something similiar several years ago but didn’t have good results like you.
isn’t it beautiful how the universe just works!!! great story!!!
That’s pretty cool. (Though I can’t imagine receiving your book and selling it! That is just wrong on so many levels! I’m glad the right person got it in the end.
That is synchronicity right there…how perfect is that???
Did you look in your trash bin for the deleted email??!!
I’m a little sad that someone sold your book after finding it, but in the end it went to the right person.
Another Tokyo mystery gift, yippee! I really enjoy hearing all the stories about your 100 Books project. So cool!
i LOVE this project. i just found your book online tonight and am dying to read it. i love your gentle way with words and the way you express thoughts. just learning about your book and project has made me smile. : )
