Journal Entry 1 by loveamystery from Burnaby, British Columbia Canada on Sunday, March 29, 2009

This is a fun bookbox with books in all categories, although many appear to be in the mystery/thriller genre. All books have tea or coffee or forms of these, and some are desserts.

Here are the instructions:

When it is your turn, I will e-mail you. There will be a link to the bookbox on my bookshelf with the available books listed in the last journal entry.

Make your choices and pm me with the names of the books you have chosen and those you have offered to replace them.

THERE IS A TWIST TO THIS VBB: YOU MUST TAKE ONE MORE BOOK THAN YOU OFFER. Send me your address, so that you will receive your books.

When someone chooses your books, I'll pm you with their address. Please mail your books out promptly.
