Journal Entry 1 by Abbynormal92243 from El Centro, California USA on Monday, April 24, 2006
here's how it works:

the only books that go in this box are ones that are wished for by 15 or more people.
You can verify this by going to cliff's site and doing a search on the book in question.

When you receive the box journal the box itself, take out the ones you want and journal them. Choose one of them to start a bookray with, and post it in this thread. Replace the books you took with an equal amount of books that people are lusting after --they don't have to be in the top 100---only a "hot" book--and you check that by doing a search at Cliff's site. Type in the book you want to put in, and if 15 or more names come up as having the book on a wishlist, then by all means, include the book. :)

for a little twist of fun--
I encourage you to check out the wishlist of the person after you. Put a post-it on the book so someone else doesn't take it out.

addendum: remember you don't have to read the books before you send the box on :) Keep it no more than two weeks, and if the box is tattered by the time it gets to you, please replace it.

addendum #2: please make sure that all of mine get taken out before it comes back to me--I don't care if you PC it, wild-release it, give it to a friend, whatever--I want to make sure my books and the OBCZ books go out into the world. So please, help me library the world!

Thanks!

(not sure about INT'L participants yet)


*NOTE*
release the bookbox (or make a journal entry, I don't care which) AND release each individual book that you put into the box.

For those of you who aren't sure how to do it, here's how I do it:
Release Country: "Controlled Releases"
State/Province: "Bookbox"
City: Abbynormal's wishlist bookbox"
Crossing Zone: Abbynormal's Wishlist bookbox

*Note #2* I'm sure you all want to keep this moving, so please know that I'll be checking each shelf and the fora to make sure no one has problems getting books mailed. If for any reason you think you might have a problem after the box is moving, please PM me so I can either put you further down the list, or set your name aside for the next bookbox. (and there will be one!)

Here's what's in the box:
(subject to change because I have to make sure these books are on at least 15 wishlists)
In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
To Have and to Hold by Jane Green
Lucia, Lucia by Adriana Trigiani

Journal Entry 18 by KimberleeV from Yorktown, Virginia USA on Monday, November 20, 2006
I received this book box several weeks ago. Unfortunately, I've been in and out (mostly out) of town dealing with a family emergency and I just haven't been able to get to this. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and want to thank Abby for being so understanding.

I've made my selections and replacements and PM'd Hagathorn for her mailing address. It's ready to go to the Post Office as soon as I hear from her. I've also replaced the box...I don't think the current one would have made it through another mailing. It was in rough shape. :-)

I took out:
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

I replaced them with:
The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl
Holy Fools by Joanne Harris
Deception Point by Dan Brown

Thanks again Abby for including me in this!!!

Journal Entry 19 by hagathorn from Grand Island, New York USA on Wednesday, February 14, 2007
