South African Catch after 2 years!

I left   Last Orders  in Backpackers Paradise backpackers' hostel in Oudtshoorn while on a visit with my sister and my very young nephew.  The book is now on its way to New Zealand, though it seems the reader didn't enjoy it.  Hopefully it will keep travelling.

3 South African Catches!

I got a message in my inbox that a book which I released over Christmas in South Africa was caught. That makes three books! A pretty good catch rate.

The first to be caught was M.C.C.: The autobiogrpahy of a cricketer , a themed release given to my by my mum and released at the England - South Africa test at Newlands Cricket Ground .

Number 2 was one of three books I left at Kauai , a cafe in Camps Bay, The Alienist, a NSS present. It was caught and registered by a newbie, MurasakiAme, here's hoping they stick with bookcrossing.

Finally this morning I got an alert that The Snow Cow: Ghost Stories for Skiers
had been caught and journalled. I left it at the V&A Waterfront on a flower pot in the shopping centre. The catcher is now in Australia and plans to leave the book there.

I wonder if any more catches will come in?
