Bookcrossing Celebrity

Yesterday was the monthly Ipswich Bookcrossing Meet, second Saturday of the month 11 o'clock at Coffee Link.  I don't get along as often as I would like because of football commitments but yesterday I was there, and what's more I was the first to arrive. 

One of the regulars had invited a couple of new people along so I wasn't surprised when a woman asked if I was part of the Bookcrossing group.  Completely failing to notice the Kiwi accent or the cuddly Ballycumber I asked if she was one of the people Izzy had invited along.  No, she wasn't.  She was already a bookcrosser who happened to be in the area and had noticed we had a meet up this weekend.  Oh, well nice to meet you I said, and what's your screen name?  I'm Lytteltonwitch she answered.

Well that probably doesn't mean anything to you.  But Lytteltonwitch is something of a Bookcrossing celebrity.  We chatted a little, other people arrived and chatted.  I picked up four books depsite having far too many to read and only intending to pick up the two that I knew Izzy was taking for me.  The the Junior Uncruliars started to get bored and it was time to leave so I could go to work.  And I didn't manage to pick up one of Lytteltonwitch's books.  I suppose it's rather sad that I think it would have been cool to have had one of her books pass through my hands.  Oh well...
