The Millennium Book of Wacky Lists 2000
6 journalers for this copy...
As the title says, some wacky lists. Some are straightforward, some more extraordinary.
I'm using this light booklet as a journal to go with my Shrinking Audio Bookbox.
Update: Please check the forum thread (URL below) for exact rules. You can take out four more books than you put back in. E.g. take six out, put two in. 6-4=2.

Box arrived safely today. Probably won't get to this until I've finished (groan) the taxes.
Littlewhitebird, this is a wonderful box - thank you! You were very generous - good variety, lots of unabridged books, excellent performers. It's my good luck to be in at the start and have first pick, but there's a lot of tasty titles left, believe me.
Here's what I took:
- Great American Stories, various
- I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Angelou
- Bearing an Hourglass, Anthony
- Selected Stories, Parker
- Rob Roy, Scott
- Daughter of Time, Tey
Here's what I put in:
- Girl with a Pearl Earring, Chevalier
- Runaway Jury, Grisham
Keno-mom sent me her address very promptly, so this will go to the PO today.

Finally got the box sent today, please forgive the delay, I had surgery and thought I would be recovered faster then this. It's a great box enjoy
It's here!
Can you believe it, the day after I went through my shelves for my own Audiobook VBB, I get *2* audiobookboxes in the mail?!? No fair! (LOL!)
I think I have a strategy, tho...
I've forgotten how many fewer books we're to put in to replace those we take out. I see Ms. JudySlump612 did 3-for-1, so I'll go with that.
Thanks for sharing!
OK, after much consideration, I have selected:
