I am going to use this book to journal the random shrinking bookbox.

This box is pretty simple. All genres are welcome (except Harlequin type). It will start out with about 25 random books. Each person that signs up will take out as many books as they want and then replace with the same amount.....Here is the shrinking part, after making selections and replacing, then take out an additional book. That way when the box comes back home to me, it should have fewer books than when it started.
(Borrowed some of the following rules from Trekwoman...I hope you don't mind.)

*Please make journal entries on the books you choose when you receive them. I know this seems obvious but you'd be surprised at the number of folks who don't do it.
* Please try to keep the bookbox no longer than 2 weeks. If you are having problems please PM me.
* If the box looks like it is wearing out, please replace it.
* Delivery confirmation would be nice, but not absolutely necessary.
* Media mail (or parcel post) is good to keep cost of mailing down.
* If you see anyone on this list who is a known staller, please contact me.
* I am the last participant. Please send a note for my mailing info when the time comes.
* Most importantly have fun and enjoy the bookbox!! Thank you!
