Description: Show Your Cat you really care! Treat kitty to an easy-to-make homemade present especially selected to suit his or her purr-sonality.

This is the journal for the Shrinking Teens Bookbox:

When you receive the Bookbox, please journal that you received it. This is a shrinking bookbox, if you take 2 books you only need to put one in the box. If you read one and put it back, please journal it. Try to keep the bookbox only two weeks.

Only put in books that are already registered with Bookcrossing. If the box is splitting open or damaged, please replace it.

Please keep the box for only 2 weeks, if you are running late in passing it on to the next person I would appreciate an e-mail (j.chaban @ comcast.net) to let me know. Real life happens, just send an e-mail.

Delivery Confirmation is really appreciated, I always use them and my boxes haven't become lost in the post office system. (knock on wood) If you use a Delivery Confirmation, please post the number for tracking purposes.

Books you can put in:
Books for ages 13-18; middle and high school students. If you have one that you aren't sure about send me a message.

I was pleased to see this as the bookbox journal; I'd read a copy a while back and enjoyed it. It has ideas for toys and treats for one's cats, and some suitable for gifts to cat-owners, ranging from the very simple (large cardboard box into which to drop dried leaves or catnip mice) to fairly serious craft projects. Among them:

"Framed Felines" involves cutting cat-themed shapes (fish, cat-faces, pawprints) out of plain or fancy paper and applying them around the edge of a picture frame. (There are templates for several of these patterns in the book.)

"Green Gifts" include trays of grass and pots of catnip for the cats to nibble on. (My cats adore these, though I have had to be careful about the containers; if they're too light, the cats can lift the whole thing when they tug on the grass, and may wind up spilling soil all over the place!)

I hope to make my selections and get the box moving again soon.

Looks like a handy book for a cat owner; I'm not one, but I like the idea of the kitty sleeping bag. Related note: Jen Yates at Epbot recently did a lovely cat collar tutorial.

Now for the other books...

Looks like the box started with 27 books + the journal; it now has 20 + this one.

These eight started with the box and are still here:

Surprising Stories by Saki
Phantom Stallion: The Wild One by Terri Farley
Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm
Nightmare Hall: The Roomate by Diane Hoh

Camp Rock by Lucy Ruggles
Santa Paws to the Rescue by Nicholas Edwards

With JennyC1230's permission, I will be keeping these to read and/or wild release rather than sending them back to her.

Now I just need to make some decisions about the rest of the books: at the moment it looks like I will keep the 8 books above plus 5 others; I still need to register a few books but will probably end up putting in 12.

This box will head back home tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday.

This Bookbox returned home! Thanks so much for a successful Bookbox. If anyone is interested in a Teens/YA virtual Bookbox let me know. I asked in the forums and only one person responded. I'll be journaling all the books and I know RCOUFan and I will enjoy reading some of them. Thanks!

I have journalled all the books that came home in the box. I'm still looking for participants for a Teens/YA Virtual Bookbox, I advertised in the Bookring/Bookbox forum, but haven't had too many people interested. If you would like to join let me know. Thanks for helping make this a successful bookbox! RCIOUFan and I have a lot of interesting books to read and release! :-)
