We are a group of four friends dedicated to spreading random acts of kindness throughout the powerful medium of books, through a project we call "The BookNotes". We are attempting to make the world a better place by writing down encouraging notes/quotes on index cards, and placing them in random books. If you find a BookNote, please send a picture of it to the e-mail address in the "Contact Us" page, so that we can hopefully include it on the website. Oh, and the YouTube channels below are not us. They are the people who inspired us to start this project. Also, don't forget to check The BookNook for periodic book reviews. And, as always, don't forget to be awesome!

Take this and go make somebody feel good. On top of that, make yourself feel good. People always need to be reminded that they are loved and thought about.
Love, Caroline
I know this is a tumblr focused on books and such, but if you're ever having a bad day or if you're in a bad mood… LISTEN TO THE SONG "I Can Lift A Car" by Walk The Moon.
Hello fellow people of tumblr! Emma here. Just wanted to say a few things.
1. HELLO!!!
2. How are you?
3. Don't forget to be awesome today.
4. Please feel free to message us on here/email us if you have any questions about anything! We would love to interact and talk to you guys, and with going public with our names and such, that should be easier. Thanks so much for the support/follows/submissions! It means the world to us :)
Hey everybody! I'm really excited to announce that The BookNotes Project has gone public! We've decided to reveal our identities, because all of us really want to be able to develop more personal connections with the lovely people sending us their BookNotes. If you'd like, you can check out our group's history and each of our bio's in the "About Us" page. I really hope you guys like the changes we're making, and we look forward to be able to continue spreading random acts of kindness throughout the world! Don't forget to be awesome! -Anna
Hi everyone! We know we haven't posted in a while. Unfortunately, we here at BookNotes live pretty hectic lives. However, we're still committed to this project as ever, and we'd like to share something with you guys that is probably the best thing to come out of BookNotes so far. So, a while ago, we got this e-mail from a lovely reader named Jessica:
"I bought this book in Charlotte NC over two months ago and tucked it away because at about the same time I bought it I found out I was moving to Northern New York (it was on short notice). At the time I finally was ready to read it, my husband and I were going back and forth about trying to conceive. Since we had just moved we were trying to figure out when would be the right time. Needless to say when I found this note…I started crying!! You guys are so right…the time will never be just right or “perfect”!
So long story short…we are now trying! And when my little girl or boy is old enough to understand I will tell him or her about the Friendly Neighborhood Nerdfighters and how they came into their mother’s life at the perfect time.
Thank you guys!"
And, last month, we got the best surprise of a lifetime. Jessica e-mailed us back to say that she was 23 weeks pregnant with a little baby girl! She also included a picture of the ultrasound, but we opted not to include that out of respect for her privacy. Anyway, we'd like to give a huge thank you to Jessica for keeping us updated, and reminding us about the never-ending power of books. It always amazes us that this amount of happiness and positivity can be even remotely influenced from this project. If you're reading this, Jessica, we thank you so so so much! And, we wish you, your husband, and your little baby girl a lifetime of health and happiness :) Thanks for reading this, guys, and as always, don't forget to be awesome!
"I got your note and I absolutely loved it. I'm a teacher and to see such a note in a children's book was so heartwarming. As a fellow nerd fighter I will have my kids (students) spread the same love. DFTBA!"
