BookCrossing

Olá! Resolvi aderir ao movimento BookCrossing, cujos membros dão livros colocando-os em lugares públicos para quem os quiser apanhar. É só carregar na imagem no índice do meu blog, à esquerda (a mesma que está em baixo neste post). Irão ter ao meu perfil BookCrossing, onde podem consultar a lista de livros que tenciono dar na etiqueta "available". Carregando na etiqueta "travelling" encontrarão o livro que tenciono dar a seguir. Todos os dias, a partir das 18:00, colocarei um livro novo no café Empório do Chá, na Avenida Paris, Lisboa.

A morada é:

Empório do Chá
Av. de Paris, 19-A
1000-228 Lisboa


O primeiro livro, que podem encontrar já a partir de amanhã (11/03/2009) é o livro Planets on the Move: The Astrology of Relocation, de Maritha Pottenger e Zipporah Pottenger Dobyns. Da contra-capa:

"When you change your place of residence, you change your horoscope! Find the meaning of new aspects to the angles (Ascendant, Midheaven, etc.), aspects to house rulers, house placements of rulers and stellia, and signs on the angles when you relocate".

Espero que algum dos meus leitores encontre um livro de que gosta, e/ou que adira a este movimento.

"The white dress designed by Adrian and worn by Joan Crawford in the 1932 film Letty Lynton had an enormous influence on fashion. Manufacturers copied it and women flocked to department stores to buy the 'Letty Lytton dress'. The dress also helped to kick-start the trend for wide shoulders."
