There's only two rules for a books eligibility into this "Beastly Bookbox":

Firstly, the title must include a creature of any description. It MUST be the actual name of the creature not the general type, so dog, salmon, eagle or bee would be okay but NOT animal, fish, bird or insect.

For example...."The LION, the Witch & the Wardrobe" - yes!
"My Family & Other ANIMALS" - no!
Hope that makes sense :o)

Secondly, real creatures only....no dragons, unicorns etc

My usual "rules" apply:

1. There must be a minimum of 5 books in it. You can take out up to 4 books & please send on one for each one you remove.. Feel free to add extra as long as....

2....the package weighs under 2KG. This is is just to keep costs down. (Postage is currently at £2.95 second class for up to 2KG)

3 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.

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

5 Fiction only please.... any genre you like but please try & mix them to give others a choice.


Aiming to send out mid-May.

Edited: Posted 23/05/18

The box has arrived! I will make my choices and send it on to Yorkshire-lass asap

I have chosen

The MOTH Diaries and Cat among the Herrings

and I'm replacing them with

The Chocolate FROG Frame up - Joanna Carl
The BEEkeepers Apprentice - Laurie R. King

The box is now with me, I will try to get it on its way again asap.

Received safely just looking for a suitable replacement and waiting for payday to post!

I have chosen The RAVENS of Blackwater, The COWs and The DOGS of Riga

and am replacing them with (after a little juggling to accommodate postage!)

The LION, the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis

The WASP Factory by Iain Banks

and

To Kill a MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee

Going to have to have a rethink on the books I put in, when I took it to the post office it was over the 2kg and was going to cost a fortune to post. Will repackage and post again!


Right I have weighed a lot of books this week and according to my scales the box is now 1.7 kg, so I'm back off to the post office tomorrow and the parcel will be winging its way to lizzie stardust.

Will be on the way to lizzie stardust tomorrow.

Received in today's post. Thanks!
