Journal Entry 1 by nimrodiel from Evanston, Illinois USA on Thursday, November 17, 2005

This box has its own BCID number (167-3463385 ) which will allow all of us to keep track of it easier.

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. Feel free to make any comments you want here in the box’s journal.

Take as many books as you would like from the box, and replace with an equal number. All books should be labeled with a BCID number.

If you have trouble contacting the next person on the list, please feel free to skip them, but be sure to let me know so I can place them later on the list. I’d also appreciate if each participant would PM me when they receive the box, and again when they release it.

Please try not to keep the box more than two weeks maximum.

If the box gets ragged looking please feel free to replace it with a new one.

Books in the box at starting:

1. Secret Touch by Jean Innes
2. The Willful Widow by Evelyn Richardson
3. Lord Richard's Daughter by Joan Wolf
4. The Captivated Countess by Barbara Allistar
5. Summer Campaign by Carla Kelly
6. An Improper Pursuit by Donna Bell
7. Regencey Buck by Georgette Heyer
8. Windfall by Emily Carmichael

I just realised that the starting box is mostly regency romances, but the box is open to any historical romances. Just no contemporary plot settings :)

Journal Entry 4 by Sidney1220 from McLean, Virginia USA on Wednesday, December 07, 2005

So the BCID's on the flap of the box! You would think that I would have been able to figure it out sooner. It's been a while since I've read a traditional regency, so I'm looking forward to reading some of these. But as I am replacing them with full length historical romances, I will have to get a bigger box. Will get the box on its way as soon as I can.

Summer Campaign by Carla Kelly

Journal Entry 15 by yourbela on Monday, February 27, 2006

Thank you so much Morgail for sending me the HR BookBox! It came today. I'll update this with what I take out (the Regency titles) and what I pop back in.

update: well it looks like the book box I sent indeed made it to mnewman and then she had a yard sale! -> http://bookcrossing.com/journal/3741805 As can be seen, one of the books I included in the box was sold. 

Journal Entry 16 by nimrodiel from Evanston, Illinois USA on Tuesday, May 02, 2006

Looks like this box has fallen into the same stalled area as a few other bookcrosser's boxes. yourbela let me know she had mailed this to mnewman a while back. I have not heard anything from mnewman about her receiving the box at all. I'm hoping this is just something that got overlooked by her as she seems a bit overwhelmed with rings, rays and boxes (from reading the various ISO posts in the forums) and not that it was lost in the mail.

Hopefully she will answer my pm's and this can be sorted out.
