Journal Entry 1 by Pyan from Menasha, Wisconsin USA on Friday, October 28, 2005

This is the journal for Pyan's Fiction Bookbox. I've created a BCID for this box so we can keep track of it easier.

BOOKBOX RULES

* Take as many books as you want and replace with equal amount; you may add additional books if you want as long as they meet the box requirements, and there is sufficient room.

* Journal ONLY the books that you take from the box.

* When you receive the box, please PM the next person on the participant list for their address so you'll have it ready to send the box out. Only wait up to a week for an answer, let me know and go on to the next person so the box can move on quickly. I will contact anyone who is skipped to see if they would like to be added later on the list.

* Use DELIVERY CONFIRMATION when sending out the bookbox. It only adds 55 cents to the cost of the box and we'll all have peace of mind the box was mailed if there are any disputes. PM me the confirmation number.

* PM me when you receive AND mail out the box so I can keep track of it here and in my profile.


ALL BOOKS MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA

* Published no earlier than 1990
* No children books, no westerns
* No Harlequins or similar
* All books must be fiction

Please list the books you take out & the books you put into the box in your journal entry here in addition to the usual journaling of each individual book.

Please do not keep the box more than two weeks maximum. Here's the traveling order which is also posted on my profile, and will be kept updated in both places.
