Journal Entry 3 by leota from not specified, not specified not specified on Tuesday, April 24, 2007

This was a really fun book box! I picked two books and will replace them with two of my own. Since I was the first person in this book box, I was surprised by how the wrapping paper was torn on so many of the books. This probably happened through jostling of the box in transit. I taped them up the best that I could as not to spoil the surprise for anyone else. Don't worry, I didn't peek before I chose my books!

I've pm'ed the next in line for an address. I will send it on as soon as possible.


Thanks Elizardbreath for this wonderful book box!

"10 Year old Liza was dreaming her favorite dream."...which was No Place Like Home by Mary Higgins Clark.

and

"Dear Readers, Sometime last year I bought a new pair of shoes." which was Ask Marilyn: Answers to America's Most Frequently Asked Questions.<--that wasn't what I expected. :)

I'll wrap up a couple of books and get this out to unknowncritic this week.

I'm going to pick a few books out of the box, and a find a few to put in here.

Journal Entry 9 by lane1088 from Charlotte, North Carolina USA on Tuesday, May 15, 2007

I came home to this big box of books. I was not expecting it to be so large. I've kind of glimsed through the first sentences and they all sound really good. It is going to be hard to pick just a few!! What a great dilemma!! Will write more when I have some time to pick over the choices. Thanks elizardbreath for this wonderful idea.

May 16th
Okay it was really hard not to want to open each book. The first sentences all seemed so enticing and I wanted to know where they came from!!! But since I had to limit, I went through the books that I wanted to put back inside the box. I came up with seven that had great first lines so then I picked seven first sentences I just had to know where they came from. LOL!! So here they are by the order I picked them:

First: "Come into my cell" was: Lancelot by Walker Percy (sounds interesting)

Second: "I have to let this story go" was: The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve (i have heard a lot about it. Looking forward to reading it.)

Third: "High atop the steps of the great pyramid of Giza" (I love Egyptology) was: Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (totally unexpected. Loved this book.)

Fourth: "Claire won the lottery on a Wednesday afternoon..." was: Pot of Gold by Judith Michael (what I expected it to be)

Fifth: "Sarurday, the last day of August, I started work before dawn" was: All That Remains by Patricia D. Cornwell (i've stopped reading her--too depressing so will probably release)

Sixth: "I'm not ready to die just yet." was: No Shirt. No Shoes....No Problem! by Jeff Foxworthy (love him)

Seventh and last: "Absolutely" was: Birth Order Book by Kevin Leman (this wasn't expected, but should be interesting)

This was sooooooo much fun. There were quiet a few surprises in the books. I am going to have lots of fun reading some of these books. And a friend or two might just get some great book surprises that will make them laugh.

Thanks elizardbreath for doing this bookbox. It is a great adventure and I'm glad I had a chance to participate.

May 17
I've wrapped up all my books and they are in the box. As I was readjusting the books in there, I couldn't resist getting Spike out. I knew what the book was because I recognized the first sentence--I know true geek. But I loved the picture of Spike from Buffy so I took the book and will find a good home for it. The plans are to mail it off tomorrow.

I got this today! I took out 7 books. I'll put replacements in a little later today. This is so fun!!

Journal Entry 16 by Minerva101 from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Tuesday, August 28, 2007

I picked the box up from the Post Office today.
Wow- this is the most difficult box ever! It is so hard to chose from the sentence on the wrapping!
This is going to take some serious consideration - thanks for including me in the fun, elizardbreath!! I will journal again with my selections later. 

Journal Entry 17 by Minerva101 from Calgary, Alberta Canada on Wednesday, August 29, 2007

After serious deliberation, I ended up taking out 8 books and replaced them with 10.
I was thrilled to pick out 'Rebekah' by Orson Scott Card and 'Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging' by Louise Rennison!! They were the highlight of this box! They will be put close to the top of Mt. TBR.
I also picked out 'Midwives' by Chris Bohjalian, 'The Only Boy for Me' by Gil McNeil, A Sand County Almanac' by Aldo Leopold, and 'That was Then' by Sarah Harrison. These ones looked interesting enough to add to my gigantic TBR pile, but probably won't be journaled again for some time.
The last two books I picked are not my kind of books at all, so I will probably send them to MaryZee for her mass release in November. They are 'Beyond the Bedroom Wall' by Larry Woiwode and 'Images of Love' by Anne Mather.
Thanks for letting me join this box, elizardbreath - it was fun! I will journal again once I have mailed it off to stagecrafty.

Journal Entry 20 by gecko4ever from Rancho Cucamonga, California USA on Thursday, September 20, 2007

Received the box yesterday. It is so much fun that I will have to start my own to refresh my books. This seems like such a fun way to do it. Thanks for letting me participate and copy. I took 7 books and will add the titles when I get home. Thanks

Journal Entry 28 by HeresDeb from Grayslake, Illinois USA on Wednesday, February 20, 2008

I received the Wrap-It-Up bookbox in the mail this past weekend. It was so hard not to want to open them all, just to satisfy my curiosity! However, I managed to narrow it down to 6 books. I ended up picking out:

--The Stepford Wives
--Sweet Liberty
--Reunions
--Glass Castle (a NICE surprise; this was on my wish list!)
--The Dive from Clausen's Pier
--The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

I can see myself reading all of these, so I did very well. Thanks so much Elizardbreath :-)

Journal Entry 30 by indygo88 from Lafayette, Indiana USA on Thursday, March 06, 2008

I didn't get home until late this evening, and hubby didn't even check the mail (he's obviously not a mail-hungry person like me!), so I was thrilled to find a box waiting out on the dark porch tonight! Yippee! My 3-year-old really wanted to help me open all the "packages", but I told her I could only open some of them. Not sure she quite understood that concept...LOL! Anyway, didn't take me long to rip some open! I was very pleased with my choices (although somewhat embarrassed that I already had two of them on Mt. TBR. But that's okay...I'll find new homes for them!):

Back When We Were Grownups - Anne Tyler
Our Lady of the Forest - David Guterson
The Piano Tuner - Daniel Mason
Waiting - Ha Jin
Neither Here Nor There - Bill Bryson

I'll be sending a PM to get the next person's address.... 

Journal Entry 31 by indygo88 from Lafayette, Indiana USA on Sunday, March 09, 2008

The box (I replaced it...needed a slightly bigger one) is packaged up & ready to head out to Shausha. I've got a load of books to mail, so I'll be heading to the post office tomorrow. This bookbox was a lot of fun -- thanks, elizardbreath! And just a note: please don't judge my books by their wrapping papers! LOL! (some are kinda tacky...) 

Journal Entry 32 by Shausha from Kersey, Pennsylvania USA on Tuesday, March 18, 2008

received book box this past Saturday in PA. We were just leaving for Huntingdon, PA for a drumline competiton my daughter was in when my husband found the box on the driver's seat of our van. Postoffice must have put it there for safe keeping. I had to wait until we returned late that night to look at it as we had to leave for Huntingdon. Much later that night, my daughter, son and I had a super time looking at all the books and deciding which to open. It will be fun when I put in my own books! showed it to my mom and dad too. they were fascinated by this idea!!! 

Journal Entry 33 by Shausha from Kersey, Pennsylvania USA on Thursday, April 17, 2008

loved this box what fun! will go out today to next in line 

Journal Entry 34 by lane1088 from Charlotte, North Carolina USA on Tuesday, April 22, 2008

Got the box yesterday but only just had a chance to journal today. I see from the journal that many people have truly enjoyed this little adventure of not knowing exactly what we were opening. I'm looking forward to going through the books. I've already sent a PM to the next person in line and hope to send the box out later this week.

The book box was waiting for me when I returned from vacation. Thank you Gomboggit! Gomboggit also gave me several cute blank labels, which I will surely use, with a holiday card. I had fun leafing through the journal and figuring out where it has been and what games have been played with it. I can imagine the wrapping game was fun, but I'm glad I don't have to wrap my books!

I chose four: Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
Exclusive by Sandra Brown
Cold Pursuit by T. Jefferson Parker
The MacGuffin by Stanley Elkin

I will replace with four or more of my own and send it soon to the next on the list.
