Journal Entry 10 by tutleymutley from Newton Abbot, Devon United Kingdom on Saturday, April 23, 2005
Book box 10 arrives after a (not so) furtive change of hands in Halcyon Carpark, Courtenay Street, Newton Abbot - thanks Julie! and Thank You for the chocolate - that was a low move! Of course i HAD to eat it all yum.
Blimey, I've had this box a whole month! I'm so sorry. I will email arturogrande asap and get this moving again.
After much deliberation I am taking out
Harlan Coben's "Back Spin" and
Libby Purves' "Mother Country"
and replacing with
James Clavell's "Noble House"
and "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker
This still makes 13. But the chocolate makes more.

Recieved yesterday very early. My 4 yr old came bouncing into the bedroom shouting that the postman was outside. Luckily we have a parcel box for that exact reason so no need to get out of bed straight away.
I've taken out
The Weight of Water and
Involved.
Will decide what to put in and post it on Tuesday

Thanks to Dr. Who's intervention, this box arrived safely today! No more aliens here, thank you very much! A good selection, and sweeties! What more could I ask?! I shall have a good look through it over the weekend and see if I can get hold of Auglaise to pass it on soon.
Now that Auglaise has successfully moved house and I have her address, this box will be setting off again tomorrow.

It's also a new box since the last one had just about given up the ghost. It's a bit of a tight fit, I'm afraid, but it's the only box I have available, and there are some pretty big books in it.

Received last week, but didn't have time to journal. I'll be taking out The Horse Whisperer, as I somehow never got around to reading it when everyone was talking about what an amazing book it was, and will be adding Dune Messiah and Heretics of Dune by Frank Herbert. Thanks for sending it my way, and I'll be posting it on as soon as I get an address!
Postie arrived with this today. The box has given up the ghost (the postie was holding it together as he came up the drive) so immediately, new box. Will have a look later and decide!

Balance of Power - Paul Palmer
Blood Run - Leah Ruth Robinson
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday - Donna Hay
And I've added:
Memories of the Ford Administration - John Updike
Close Range (Wyoming Stories) - Annie Proulx

Thanks for pasing this on! Sorry I've not journalled before now, I had to get a friend to pick it up from the post office for me, as it was delivered while i was at work, then left it at work! I've taken out 2 books, I'll replace them and get this on its way by the end of the week. Thanks again.
Sorry, had this for much longer than I meant to-real life gets in the way sometimes...
Anyway, I've taken out Other Peoples Children, Dune Messiah, and, er, another one which was nabbed by someone at work! I've put in A Judgement In Stone by Ruth Rendell, Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulkes, and The End Of Alice by AM Homes. Thanks to whoever put the choccy in! Off to scottishhoosier now...

Journal Entry 23 by ScottishHoosier from Westhill, Scotland United Kingdom on Thursday, October 13, 2005
Just arrived, I'm so glad I was home and didn't have to go collect it.
My son asked if it was books (he's learnt quickly!). I said it was. He then wanted to help me unpack the box and was happy pulling off the brown paper. There are some yoga cd's in the box, so he thinks they are for him and he wants to hear the music. There is also a large photograph of Marilyn Monroe. Bless him, he said, "It's you, Mommy!" I am blonde, but to be confused with Marilyn!! He is just four.
Now, to find a place to put it that won't annoy my husband....
