No, it isn’t about tennis. But you can improve your game. This little book, saccarhin sweet on the outside, full of venom on the inside, is the place for you to record those little digs, jabs and full on insults usually delivered in a ‘butter wouldn’t melt’ tone of voice.
I want your best, and worst, backhanded compliments. Feel free to use famous quotes (but stay away from Winston Churchill – they’re getting a bit old.) Feel free to expand and tell stories to put things into context and feel free to re-write history so that you can say the perfect thing at the right moment.
Oh, and by the way, I love the shirt you’re wearing. It makes you look so much thinner!
Please mail me clair_rigby (UK) when the Journal is complete (or it it gets a bit stuck along the way) and I will mooch it back from you. Now, get stuck in with the crayons!

Everyone has a song that evokes a particular moment from their past. This is a BookMooch Journal about those songs and what they mean to you. Draw, write, represent your songs and memories however you like. Feel free to use multiple songs and pages. After 2 weeks, please re-list the journal for someone else to mooch and contribute to. When the book is full, or close to it, contact me (blueclaire) and we can arrange its return to me. This isn’t a large book so it shouldn’t be too expensive to post 🙂
This is my first BM Journal and I really love the idea!

This is my first BM Journal and sort of a dry run – it’s a tiny little book (pages are about 8.5 X 6.5cm), therefore very cheap to post! There is no theme as such, but your art/writing will no doubt be influenced by the size of the pages and the following rules: your contribution must take up ONE PAGE ONLY, and must be on only one side of the paper – no double pages. You can sign your work, or remain anonymous; you can keep the book for longer than two weeks if some of your friends or family want to add a page of their own; you can add anything, from a simple sketch or quote to a long(ish) poem or an elaborate artwork! If I receive it back in one piece, completed, I’ll add some bigger, themed journals.
And please, if you add anything of an adult nature, add a review stating this, so as not to offend any future moochers.

This a journal about raising teenagers in this time and era. Maybe you have a story to tell.Or a word of encouragement.
Would love to pass a round this book so everyone can add a story or a helpline. Be a teen is tough. We need to learn how to steer them in a right direction with out hurt or making them feel they are alone in this big world.
I thought this book can help someone are maybe have a story that relate to a teen. It is a tough world out there when you feel you are alone. It will be a great insight into to their world and their veiws. We need to stop a listen.

I mailed the last moocher to receive this stalled journal but received no response, and she/he has been away from the site since October 2010. Must be regarded as lost.

Fairy tales are universal. Everyone has a favorite fable or story from childhood that they love to re-tell. Here’s your chance to share your favorites!
Take a fairy tale and put the text of it into the book. Then, take a few pages to respond to it. Talk about why it’s your favorite story, spin a “modern” version, draw all your favorite characters…it’s your romance, so react in any way you please!
