The box has made it safely home! Thanks to everybody who participated and made it a successful bookbox! It left with 22 books and returned with 26 plus one wishlist book for me.
There are 7 books going on my tbr pile, 6 that I have either read or already on mt.tbr, and only 2 of my original books came back to me. Thanks again everyone!

Also.."The color of water" doesn't have a BCID anywhere so I will register it.
