I brought this book home from meet-up with me. I associate this story with books (Belle was a voracious reader) so I thought it might make a good journal book for the Bookish Book Box that I hope to revive.

Journal Entry 16 by erishkigal at Salt Lake City, Utah USA on Wednesday, April 1, 2020
My apologies for being so tardy in journaling my receipt of the box (I did at least post in the forum). When the box arrived, I was insanely busy with work getting ready to move into techs on the Aaron Sorkin version of 'To Kill A Mockingbird'.* Then, with most of the rest of the world, we came to an abrupt crashing halt, since which time I have not been crazy busy, just crazy .
This box has remained sitting in a corner, neglected, and being merely a flat surface for putting other boxes on ( non books~ parts ordered for building props~ lol I’m not hoarding
bookboxes.)

So, to make a short story long I’m finally starting to focus on a few of the things that I can be getting done while I’m not working. And catching up on some of my BC business beats the heck out of cleaning house 😂

So now it’s time to go through the box and see what appeals. I have no idea when it will move on, and who knows when I’ll be able to go to the post office with it, let alone go to the thrift stores to find replacement books. Eventually…


* The script for this new version is incredibly powerful, and when the world returns to real life (which we all hope it will, albeit with some changes) I highly recommend you see it if you get a chance!

Journal Entry 17 by erishkigal at Salt Lake City, Utah USA on Monday, May 4, 2020
I posted the following week ago in the forum, so that if any of the people who have not yet received the box want one of the books I’m pulling they would see it. So I have released two of these already, ones that were registered by Mary Z. I thought maybe I ought to repost this as a journal in case anyone who has already had the box wants to claim a book added after.

I have pulled the books I want to keep, and have books to replace them with. Will get those journaled soon.

*************************************

Thank you, 6of8, , for allowing to remove more books and I put back in. This monster arrived with 32 and 33 books, many of them very heavy, and I was serious when I said I couldn’t lift it and had to kind of over end end of the front door! No way I would ever be able to lift this in my car and take it to the post office! (And who knows when I will even be able to go to the post office)

It’s still sitting by the front door, though it has been opened and gone through. I have decided on some books but may take others, and I’ve been collecting books to replace them with. So, I have pulled the six weightiest tomes, which I would like to disperse in LFLs, unless someone after me specifically wants them. If you want one of these, let me know and I won’t release it.

This box arrived mid-September, and then the extra time I had built into my schedule all disappeared. Unforunately, the bookcrossing site kept going down so I could not do this portion.

I'm sending on today.

I'm replacing with James Patterson's Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, The Reading Group Handbook, and Shadow Play.

Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops, a wry look at customers from a bookseller's viewpoint.

The Binding, a historic-fantasy-romance about a world in which books are the bound memories of individuals who can no longer bear them - or who are coerced into selling them...

The World's Strongest Librarian, a memoir about a librarian with Tourette's - and, at 6'7" and trained in weight-lifting, probably in fact the world's strongest librarian!

People of the Book, a novel about a conservator of ancient books who tackles a very rare and centuries-old text.

Murder by the Book, a non-fiction account of a murder and the then-popular novel that was thought by many to have inspired the crime.

Interlibrary Loan, a novel in which people's memories can be loaded into cloned bodies - which are then kept in libraries and made available to be borrowed.

The Door to Lost Pages, a surreal dark-fantasy set of linked stories about a mysterious bookshop and the people and other beings drawn to it.

The Last Book in the Universe, a YA novel about a dystopian future where electronic media has supplanted books - and a youth who becomes fascinated by these increasingly rare items.

Journal Entry 35 by hobbit at Poughkeepsie, New York USA on Saturday, December 11, 2021
The box, and of course this very appropriate little book with it, has safely arrived. Its contents are amazing and it will take me a week or so to sort through and prioritize what I want to take in exchange for the books that I've got waiting to join in.

I will also use this journal entry to add a virtual offering for past and future participants. Some years ago, I spent a year living and teaching in Laos where reading is NOT a part of mainstream culture. There were very few authors, and no magazines or newspapers being published in their language. During that time, I was introduced to a wonderful new organization called Big Brother Mouse which publishes books and gives them away to help young people learn that reading can be fun. They have a few free offerings to download on their website ( in pdf format to print or read online) and two are particularly applicable to the book-ish theme:

1) Little Elephant is a fictionalized account of how they deliver books - they don't really have a talking elephant but they do actually use an elephant to reach remote villages. You can download it at:
http://www.bigbrothermouse.com/download/littleelephant.pdf

2) The Story of Big Brother Mouse tells about how the group began and their mission of spreading books. The download:
http://www.bigbrothermouse.com/download/storyofbbm.pdf

And finally, I want to respect this notice: "Do not link directly to a book, since these web addresses will change. Please provide a link to our main site, where people can find the updated list of books available for download." Here's the link to their main site:

Journal Entry 60 by hobbit at Poughkeepsie, New York USA on Monday, July 24, 2023
I returned home during a rainstorm to find this box on my doorstep. Fortunately, it hadn't been out there too long. Even if it had been there longer, the contents are well packaged in plastic bags - thanks for that!!

Unfortunately, I procrastinated this morning and need to catch up on some work this afternoon. I'll take my time to examine all the tantalizing contents in a day or two, and make my choices.

The book box has returned home. I am contemplating changes to the book box -- perhaps a smaller selection in a USPS flat rate box so everyone knows ahead of time the cost to ship; perhaps going to a Virtual BookBox.

Anyone who has participated in the past is welcome to weigh in on these choices.
