Journal Entry 3 by bookstogive at Springville, Tennessee USA on Monday, November 01, 2010

There were so many great books in the box I had a hard time trying to decide which to take. My parents were here when the box arrived and could not resist looking over the books as well and made a few selections that I will replace as well.

Easterngirl71 asked me to update the shipping list so I did so in the journal book but am posting it here as well:

Journal Entry 5 by LaveggioCoffee at Binghamton, New York USA on Tuesday, December 28, 2010

Hello Everyone,

Please accept my sincerest apologies for holding up this box. During the holiday season it's very hard to tackle anything other than business. Bookaholic58 asked to be skipped and I've contacted the next in line.

I'm not adding or taking anything out as I'm still buried with work.

Happy New Year to all. I enjoy these boxes and try not to receive any during the holiday season....looks like I was off this year.

 

Journal Entry 6 by LaveggioCoffee at Binghamton, New York USA on Friday, January 07, 2011

I have not heard from siana1o1 so I'm contacting the next in line. Trying to get this moving - thanks for your patience everyone.

Journal Entry 8 by faramir10 at Snyder, Texas USA on Tuesday, February 01, 2011

Bookbox has arrived. Looks interesting. Thank you. 

Journal Entry 9 by faramir10 at Snyder, Texas USA on Thursday, February 10, 2011

What an interesting bookbox! I had fun looking through it. It was tough deciding which books to keep and which to put back in the box because there were more books that I wanted and not enough to replace them with. Of course, that wouldn't be playing fair, so I didn't do that. Thanks for hosting this bookbox easterngirl71.

I have pm'ed the next person in line for their address. 

Journal Entry 10 by faramir10 at Snyder, Texas USA on Thursday, February 17, 2011

This is going in the mail today. 

Journal Entry 11 by easterngirl71 at Alton, Illinois USA on Friday, June 17, 2011

I have contacted momskii two seperate times now and hoping that she will send the bookbox along to LoriPed ASAP. You know I don't worry much because I feel that I know that things come up but 4 months with a bookbox is kinda pushing it I think. We will see what happens from here and I will post if I hear anything back from her. Thanks everyone for your patience:) 

Journal Entry 12 by loriped at Keizer, Oregon USA on Tuesday, November 08, 2011

Received in the mail today. Will contact the next person in line and mail out by the end of the week. The box is starting to fall apart so I need to locate a replacement.  

Journal Entry 13 by loriped at Keizer, Oregon USA on Sunday, November 13, 2011

Mailing the box out to elsi on Tuesday. Happy travels and have a speedy return trip to easterngirl 

Journal Entry 14 by elsi at Sanger, Texas USA on Sunday, December 04, 2011

Hi all. Reporting in to let everyone know that the box is safe and sound here in Texas. It arrived while I was out of town, so it has been on my kitchen table until I got home this afternoon to cut it open. I am only home overnight, so I won't be able to swap out books and get it to the Post Office until I return home on 13 December. In the meantime, I'll get NMReader's mailing address so that I can get it into the mail soon after I get back home. 

Journal Entry 15 by elsi at Sanger, Texas USA on Thursday, December 29, 2011

When I sent PM to NMReader, she replied that she would be out of town until 30 December, so I've held the box until now to send it.

I took 5 books out and put in 5 to replace them.

Removed:

• Is There a Dead Man in the House?
• The Crossword Connection
• Murder in Volume
• Writers of the Purple Sage
• The Stiff and the Dead

• Long Time Gone
• Keepsake Crimes
• Bound for Murder
• Photo Finished
• Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House

Journal Entry 17 by NMReader at Herndon, Virginia USA on Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Arrived on my door step today 

Journal Entry 18 by NMReader at Herndon, Virginia USA on Thursday, January 26, 2012

What a lovely selection of books. Making choices was very hard indeed.

I tried to do a member search on ashleyobscam, the person on the list after me but with no success. I have pm-d easterngirl twice and bookstogive in an attempt to find out the correct spelling of the member's name (tried looking in the forum thread where we signed up). I am going to go ahead and contact spaceystacey (the person after ashleyobscam on the list) in case I am told to move it along to her.

I had hoped to mail this box this weekend but am thinking it will now have to wait until next.  

Journal Entry 19 by NMReader at Herndon, Virginia USA on Monday, January 30, 2012

I have the box already to ship but I need an address.

I have contacted ashleyobscam, spaceystacey, PGO-Books4all, and momofap. Both ashleyobscam & PGO-Books4all asked to be skipped. It looks like spaceystacey hasn't been active for awhile. I will contact 4thEstate if I haven't heard from anyone by Tuesday.

Spaceystacey has responded. I will get the box labeled and mail as soon as I can make it to the Post Office.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Finally, finally, FINALLY got the box off in the mail yesterday on the way to work - sorry it took me a little while. It's now on its way to BKind2Books - and do be careful lifting it; it tipped the scales at about 24 pounds.

And like I said, the original box was looking pretty battered, so I re-packed the books in a nice new box.  

Journal Entry 26 by Bkind2books at Clarksville, Tennessee USA on Monday, April 30, 2012

Wow - this is huge! Since it's going back to easterngirl, I may send this in 2 boxes to make it easier to tote to the post office.

Got a chance quicker than I expected, so I am going to remove:

Good Morning, Darkness
Swimsuit
Prince of Fire

Adding:

Finger Lickin' Fifteen
Eleven on Top
Remember When
