Journal Entry 1 by loriped from Keizer, Oregon USA on Wednesday, December 30, 2009

I am using this book to keep a record of Mom's Recent Romance Book Box #2. Please do not remove from the box.

Bookbox rules are simple:

--These romances are a collection of contemporary, historical, paranormal and sassy chicks. If you join you must only replace with one of those catagories and it has to be from the same copyright span.

--No books earlier than 2005 and no Harlequin, Silhouette or other series romances.

--journal the bookbox when you receive it to let us know that it arrived safely.

--journal EACH BOOK in the box that you take out.

-- keep as many books from the box as you would like, but be sure to replace any that you keep with an equal number of books.

-- keep the bookbox for a maximum of around TWO WEEKS from the day you receive it. I realize that real life happens and sometimes it isn't always great. If you're a few days late, no big deal. Just do try to adhere to the no longer than two-week rule, please. If something does come up please keep me informed.

-- please replace or reinforce the box if it starts to look shabby or weakened.

-- please PM the person after you on the list to get their address for shipping the box. If they don't respond give them a week and try again. If no response to your second PM, skip them and move on to the next person on the list.

-- Enjoy the books!

Picked up the book box today from the post office, after the 2nd notice... too bad I never got a first notice that I had a package waiting for me. I will try to get this out quickly since I have no idea how long it was waiting for me at the post office.

It looks like there are a lot of great reads in here, don't know how I will decide what I want to take out. This recipe book looks great, I'm going to look through it and I'm sure copy some recipes! Thank you to Lori for allowing me to join!
