This will be the "journal" for the CD Audiobook Bookbox (private invite). You should be able to find the BCID# written somewhere inside the box. General guidelines:

-- Please make a journal entry when you receive the box & again when you ship it off to the next person. (Delivery confirmation is not mandatory, but recommended.)
-- Since I'm not including an actual journal within the box, please go ahead & list the names of the audiobooks you're removing & putting in.
-- The box is starting out with a mix of abridged & unabridged. Please try to replace with the same type you remove. I realize it's hard to replace with the exact same number of discs, but just do the best you can.
-- Please replace the box if necessary. If you're replacing the box, DON'T FORGET TO WRITE THE BCID# somewhere inside.

It's on its way to booklady DC # 0309 3220 0000 9328 1998

I am getting spoiled since I don't commute so much any more and I have audible.com
The only audio that interested me was The Commission.
And I'm a little short on audio CDs, so I just added one: The Mark Twain Collection.

My husband, granddaughter, and I went thrift store hopping today and when we returned the box was here. PMing the next on the list as I will make my picks quickly and mail the box as soon as I get the address. I wish the person who has MY CD only bookbox would get it moving again.

I had a few minutes, so I quickly made my picks. I saw a few of my books from other CD boxes. Nice to see. I have PMed the next person. I am going to go to the PO on Tuesday or Thursday, so I wanted this box ready to mail.

3. Benjamin Black by Christine Falls -- new to me

I forgot this was coming, so it was a pleasant surprise to find the box on my doorstep yesterday afternoon. Looks like the box held up pretty well, as I do believe it's the box I started things with. Wow. (Of course I did almost have to get the chisel out to get through all the tape. LOL!) It came home with a nice selection, so I'm pleased. I'll probably do another box in a few months, so keep that in mind, if you're interested! Thanks to all for keeping the box moving so quickly! :')

All He Ever Wanted
Night
What Was She Thinking? [Notes on a Scandal]
Beach Road
Killshot
The War of the Worlds
Peeling the Onion
The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
Absolute Friends
