A US-only bookbox circulated for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered literature. Includes LGBT authors, themes, characters of any genre.

Order of Participants:
KateKintail (VA)
Scoobs-buddy (KY)
JudySlump612 (MN)
kanaye44 (CT)

Jare (NM)
KateKintail (VA)<--Box is here

Rules:
1. When you receive the box, make a journal entry for THIS BCID to let us know it's safe & sound with you.
2. Take some books out of the box, and put the same number of (or more) books back in.
3. PM the next person in the list above for his/her address.
4. Right before sending it out, please make another JOURNAL ENTRY(not release notes!) here stating what you took out and what you put in, so we can keep track of the box's contents.
5. Send the box along (Media Mail is fine, though you can send it faster if you want, and I'd recommend getting Delivery Confirmation since it's less than a dollar in cost and will help you keep track of it if it gets lost, but I'm going to make that optional).
6. If you need to be skipped for whatever reason let the person who PMed you know. I can add you back at the end of the list if you'd like.
7. Be kind and respectful- keep the box moving (don't sit and read all the books- that's not how a bookbox works).

Books to be included:
1. Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan
2. A Home at the End of the World by Michael Cunningham
3. Inside Out by Juliet Carrera
4. Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon
5. Hunk House by Ben Tyler
6. Sunflower Vol 1 by Hyouta Fujiyama
7. Kizuna - Bonds of Love Book 1 by Kazuma Kodaka
8. Counseling Same-Sex Couples by Douglas Carl
9. The Liar by Stephen Fry
10. Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
11. FAKE Volume 3 by Sanami Matoh
12. Boy Culture by Matthew Rettenmund
13. Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
14. Bingo by Rita Mae Brown

I couldn't send it out with 13. That would have doomed it!

Wow, that was fast. The box arrived home yesterday on my birthday! I'll journal all the books when I get home from work today. So many great books; I can't wait to read them :-)

Thank you to everyone who participated--I hope you enjoy your books. I'll probably do another round in a few months (unless someone else jumps in and beats me to it).
