Hope, Love, Faith

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

Basically, it is a book that is passed around to bookmoochers and each person adds their own alterations to the book within a 1 to 2 week time period and then posts it in their inventory to be mooched by someone else. This process continues until the book is full. When the book becomes full, the last moocher contacts the originated (username: havi13 in this case) and mails it home for the originator to keep. Anyone can do it, so start your own. This BMJournal happens to have a “Hope, Love, & Faith” theme, so every entry is appreciated.

However, there are a few rules:
1) do NOT destroy someone else’s alteration
2) please keep to time limit as much as possible
and
3) HAVE FUN while making the alterations!!!!!

Entertaining the MikWright Way

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

I picked up this journal called “Entertaining the MikWright Way” at a local used book sale. It is an unused journal on the theme of entertaining. It features many blank lined pages, pockets, and humorous comments and advice on entertaining: “etiquette and advice,” “refreshments and stuff,” “people and stuff.” Participants are asked to add their own pictures or stories related to the topic of entertaining and partying – whether pictures of a wild party you once threw or attended; advice on do’s and don’ts…especially those learned from experience!; maybe a great party recipe or a mixed drink formula that you concocted by ‘accident’ that crazy night in college; a party theme you think might be interesting; or recollections of a party game that got a bit out of hand. Anything related to entertaining is appropriate.

What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This is a Bookmooch traveling journal. It is a travel journal published by Ulysses Travel Guides that I picked up at a local used book sale.

The theme for this journal revolves around a story line that I present in the opening entry. The basic idea is this: I win a fictional vacation on a weird game show and embark on a surreal and strange adventure. At the end of this trip I wind up, as all the ‘winners’ of the game show do in a McDonald’s in Hamelin Germany for “debriefing, group therapy and beer.” This is where my fictional character hands off the journal for the next participant to write how their “strange trip” went.

By contributing to this journal you give permission for me to reprint your story, (crediting you as the author) for non-commercial purposes, though you retain ownership of your own story. If there is sufficient interest I might scan or reprint the story for all to read. Of course, if everyone submits their story to the Bookcrossing online journal, I may not need to do this.

This journal was mooched by Jefferson USA:IL who then closed his account.

Bizarre & Beautiful Eyes

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

This is a BMJournal. Further info on this project can be viewed on my bio page (username rddjna). Basically, it is a book that is passed around to bookmoochers and each person adds their own alterations to the book within a 2 to 3 week time period and then posts it in their inventory to be mooched by someone else. This process continues until the book is full. When the book becomes full, the last moocher contacts the originated (username: rddjna in this case) and mails it home for the originator to keep. Anyone can do it, so start your own. This BMJournal happens to have no particular theme, so every entry is appreciated and does not have to follow a certain theme. However, there are a few rules:

1) do NOT destroy someone else’s alteration
2) please keep to time limit as much as possible
and 3) HAVE FUN while making the alterations!!!!!
Thanks!

Book of Friends

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

I picked up this address book titled “Book of Friends” at a local used book sale. I intend for it to be an altered book on the theme of friendship. Please add pictures and recollections about your friendships both humourous and heartwarming: photos from that spontaneous road trip; descriptions of those special people in your life that no one knows quite the way that you do; maybe copies of penpal correspondence – anything celebrating friends and friendship is welcome.

I rate some of my own recollections as suitable for “mature audiences”, so be warned, and feel free to add your own uncensored stories, pics, etc.

The Book of the Birch – an homage to J.R.R. Tolkien

Posted on April 12, 2008 by bookmoochjournals

What do Professor Tolkien’s works (fiction or non-fiction) mean to you? Has he been an influence in your life or your writing? Did you find yourself on the path of a linguist, a medievalist, a writer, musician or illustrator because of a beloved book of his that just wouldn’t let you be? Have you ever wished you could just write to him to say ‘Thank you!’ or to explain why his writings mean that much to you?

The Book of the Birch will be a collection in homage to Tolkien’s opus and life . Everything is welcome : remembrances, commentaries, quotes, poems, sketches and drawings,photos, collages, entries in Sindarin, Quenya and Anglo-Saxon (or any other language for that matter).

Only one caveat: no entries specifically on the movies, this is for the books .

Feel free to write or draw as much (or as little) as you feel like, put your name, your country and the date of your contribution either at the beginning or the end and of it, and please, don’t write on the same page of someone else.

When the book is finished, get in touch with me (user ID: seleya) and I’ll mooch the book back (FYI, I live in Italy).

For those who prefer to avoid animal by-products: the cover of the book is leather.

Thank you!

Marina
