Just received this photo β€œSpotted your book in a book exchange box, Bradford, Eh?, unfortunately, I didn't have a book on me to exchange, so I ended up buying a copy on Amazon, for a fiver.” 😊 No idea who left it. It’s out there now. Bradford, Eh? in the wild... #Bradford #nostalgia #Booksky

Hazel E. Baumgartner - Author of "The Woods: A Horror Novel" @hazelebaumgartner.bsky.social

I've left copies of "The Woods" in little free libraries all over America while traveling for work. Including one in the Little Free Library at Mount Sunflower, the highest point in Kansas, which when I went back through a month later it was gone so I know somebody scored it.

Mount Sunflower, what a lovely name. I'm loving these quirky stories, it would be really cool to find out who took them... I really love these exchanges...

That's fun to see. I saw an author I follow sign some books and as he drove around he'd place them in these boxes and made a scavenger hunt for his followers. :-)

not in the instance she's speaking of. I've seen several writers do this without the treasure hunt it's fun!
