Seems I actually inspired someone.
On Twitter, I made reference to a book I left in a location described in
Suki I.
Ami Hendreckson noticed and created #OpBookDrop (see her post and my comment). My thought was leaving books and/or sending them to places I mentioned in my novels. In this case, the location is
this Starbucks.* I will be following up by mailing copies to libraries in other places mentioned in any book I have written.
Ami expanded a bit on what I did, suggesting writers leave copies where potential readers may find them, then adding
#OpBookDrop to a tweet alerting others to the location. Great stuff!
Additional thought: When you drop a book, use Tweet Deck (or similar) with Geo-tagging when you send the tweet.
*The location description in the book is in Sukis' lines and will help you find the place a little easier than where the linked map points you.
