Christmas All Year Round! (Gift)Wrap-it-up Bookbox (UK only/under2kg)
9 journalers for this copy...
book's tagline will be written on the cover.
The box will be sent to the first player who will choose their book(s) from the tagline. Once picked you can unwrap & see what you've got - no need to wait for Christmas Day!
Then wrap a "Christmassy"book to replace each one you've taken out (Remember: books DO NOT have to be Christmas books just have a word in them that you associate with Christmas & you can wrap them in anything you like)
Don't forget to include the tagline/quote somewhere on the wrapping, then parcel up & send on to the next player.
I do have a few other rules which are:
1. There must be a minimum of 5 books in it. You can take out up to 4 books but you MUST send on one for each one you remove.. Feel free to add extra as long as....
2....the package weighs under 2KG. This is just to keep costs down. (Postage is currently at £2.90 second class for up to 2KG)
3 Please journal the date the bookbox is received (BCID will be in the box - please leave for next person!) & sent on & of course, journal any books you remove.
4 As a courtesy to other readers please only put in books that are in a decent condition.
5 Fiction only please.... any genre you like but try & mix the books you put in.
6 For interest it would be nice to know which quote(s) you chose....& what you added :o)

Edit 15/08/17
I'm so sorry I've just realized that I sent this to the next person on the list without doing a JE-Bad Bookcrosser!!!!
I took out three books but I can't remember what was written on the front of each, they are.
Honeymoon With Murder by Caroline G.Hart
Blood on Snow by Jo Nesbo
Mistletoe Murder by Robin Stevens
I chose "at Christmas anything can happen " which was It Must Have Been The Mistletoe by Judy Astly
"a sprinkling of festive cheer can go a long way " The Magic of Christmas by Trisha Ashley
"The queen of crime at Christmas time" Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie
I've replaced them with
"A funny festive read"
"Oodles of charm, it's pure escapism"
"A wonderfully haunting winters tale. Stop the clock and read in one sitting "

I chose 'Would he be home for Christmas? A heart warming story of love and loss' which turned out to be A Mistletoe Kiss by Katie Flynn. I don't know the author and it looks good to me. Thank you. The replacement is 'The pieces fit together very well indeed'
