Journal Entry 1 by Meryam from Slough, Berkshire United Kingdom on Sunday, October 17, 2004

Usual bookbox rules apply. Please journal here when you receive the box and when you post the box on( PM the next person for their address, we've included parents BCIDs too) so we can keep track of it. Journal the books you're going to keep using their BCID numbers( all books are up for grabs, not just the ones we've put in!!), and also any you read and return to the box- we all like journal entries!! Take as many( or as few) books as you like and replace with the same number of books- preferably books of a similar reading stage as the books you took, to keep the box quite mixed. I think we've included quite a wide range of books so I hope everyone finds something they like. ENJOY!!

Well, ahem, we got a bit carried away and theres a few more in the box than we originally planned- like double!! Meryam is really excited about it so I'm hoping for quite a quick turnaround before she drives me bonkers LOL, she's already started and we haven't even posted it yet!! We hope you all enjoy it, we've certainly had fun putting it together, and we can't wait to see what we get back!!

Posting to EmilyKate tomorrow
