This book gives the Irish proverb and its English translation. Illustrated by Brian Fitzgerald.

The Irish Authors bookbox:
I have changed the rules for the Irish authors bookbox-ray. This bookbox is unique in that I do not want the bookbox to return to me. I am creating it to share some excellent books that were given to me by other bookcrossers. Plus, I am adding books to the bookbox that I owned or picked up cheap at thrift stores.

Because there are only five people participating in this bookbox, I have decided to divide the number of books equally among the five participants. I have 25 books in the bookbox. The participants may take five books from the box. Then, the box is mailed to the next participant. The bookbox grows smaller. The last person to receive the bookbox gets the remaining books.

If a participant wants to take out more than five books from the bookbox, she must replace the additional books that she takes out of the box. For example, if a participant takes seven books from the bookbox, she must add two books written by Irish authors back to the box. If you want to add additional books (written by Irish authors, of course) to the box without taking additional books out of the box, please feel free to do so.

Please do not take the Celtic Proverbs book out of the bookbox. The journal entry for this book contains the directions for all participants and helps me to track the bookbox.

I returned home to find this bookbox sitting in a rather significant puddle on my front porch. Given how bad it looked from the outside, there was not much water damage to the contents - only a couple books. Whew!

I'll make my choices and send [a dry, new!] box along in a couple days.

Great box, I've only picked out 4 so far and will let my sister pick out one tomorrow.
I've taken out" The Granny' "Heart and Soul"," Whitethorn woods", and "The Stone House". I'll journal the other book when it's pick out by my Sister.

Box arrived today. I'll pm Aunt-Sophie now for her address and pick out my books tonight!

Packing the box up today, though I'm not sure if I'll make it to the post office before Monday. Some really good books in the box! I took out: Dancing With Mules; Lessons in Heartbreak; Once in a Lifetime; Yours, Faithfully; and Bad Behaviour.

Since the box has shrunk I found a smaller box to use, but there is still a little room left so I may still add one or two extra books for Aunt-Sophie.

Going to the post office today.

I picked up the box at the post office today! There are three books which I've read already, unfortunately, but I'll find something to do with them eventually.
