Journal Entry 1 by Flutterbies9 from Meare, Somerset United Kingdom on Tuesday, October 24, 2017
This is a bookbox containing cosy murder mystery books only.

Journal Entry 2 by Flutterbies9 at Meare, Somerset United Kingdom on Monday, January 22, 2018
This is intended to be a small box containing only cosy crime & mystery books.


There's six rules:

1. This is for Cosy Crime and Mystery novels only

2. There must be a minimum of 4 books in it. You can take out as many as you like but you MUST send on at least 4. More is fine as long as ......

3. ...... the package weighs under 2KG. This is just to keep costs down. Postage is currently £3.10 second class for up to 2KG.

4. Please journal the date the bookbox is received (BCID will be in the box - please leave for next person!) & sent on & of course, journal any books you remove.

5. As a courtesy to other readers please only put in books that are in a decent condition.

6. All the books currently in the box must be by different authors to ensure a variety of choice. So, for example, you could take out a book by Laura Childs & put another Laura Childs in as there would still be only one in the box (although I know I did put the two books from one series in here myself) .... hope that makes sense!

I will still take participants whilst the box is on the move. If you wish to be moved up or down the list, please pm me and I will see what I can do.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, many of us - myself included, put our post in quarantine before opening and sorting, so this box may take a little longer than usual to come around.

Participants Round 1 :

back to me (Flutterbies9)

The send out order will be amended as requested. If you wish to be up or down the list please just let me know.
This poor box has had many mishaps before it even started on its journey and is consequently very late on its start, but it is now on its way.

The box arrived with me yesterday.
I will try to move it on as quickly as I can, but it may take a few days for me to be able to get to the post office as we are in a winter wonderland at the moment with "the beast from the east" paying us a visit. It's so lovely looking out of the window on to the garden with the snow falling :-)
