Valkries and Harpies and Fairies, oh my! I have always had a fetish for those winged women. Angelic or Demonic, the solitary power of outstretched wings ready to take flight is simultaneously spiritual and sensual, animalistic and sublime, in my imagination. Whether visions of Rackham wood nymphs or Shakespeare’s Titania or the crippled angel whose wings were filled with stellar-lice in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s short story “a Very Old Man with enormous wings” spring to mind, let your imagination fly freely in these pages! Art (any style) and short poetry or flash fiction only please. When the pages are filled, send her flying back to bookmooch user: zenfish. Thank you.
RE: Birthday Books vol 1-41. I was very excited to read about the bookmooch journal project as I usually celebrate my birthday with art/performance art madness related to the number in question. In August I will be a delightful 41 years wild. I have purchased 41 blank journals and am giving each individual themes. When all the wayward art has winged its way home to me, I look forward to a local celebration to share and enjoy these books with friends.

Just what it sounds like. Include your favorite quotation and illustrate it. Collage, calligraphy, doodle, cartography, in the style of luminous biblical script, hieroglyphs, photographs, in the style of a ransom note with letters ripped from magazines? Limited only by your imagination. When the pages of this journal are filled, please return it to bookmooch user: zenfish. Thank you.

This is an old “Far Side” day calendar. Cover the calendar pages (and any other space that is not sporting a cartoon) with your favorite jokes, cartoons, comics, etc. Scribble in the margins. Graffiti every blank space with your favorite goofs and guffaws. When the pages of this journal are filled, please return it to bookmooch user: zenfish. Thank you.

Hypnotic eyes at your bedroom window. Vampires are the
sexiest of movie monsters. Put your phantasm-tic art
fantasy to paper. Why not paint Anita Blake surrounded
by her harem of preternatural hotties? Collage a
shrine to Bram Stroker’s creature. Pencil a portrait
of your favorite Masquerade player. Ink a Nosferatu.
Queen of the Damned? Carmilla? Elisabeth Bathory? What
dark lord/lady will you draw from the “dark shadows”
of your imagination? Sexy, silly or scary… surprise
me with your vamp fandom. (Text within art okay but NO
fiction or poetry!) Thanks/fangs and good luck to all
my fellow vampriphiliacs and vampriphiles out there.
When the pages of this journal are filled, please
return it to bookmooch user: zenfish. Thank you.

It appears either this journal was never issued or it was retained by its first mooche inactive for more than two years.

Grizzly bears, granite boulders a hundred feet wide, cascading waterfalls and a wild car chase around twisting mountain roads are only a few of the perils awaiting you as you complete your mission…
Cryptic messages, such as, “The star of poverty shines on the enlightened, who flee the darkness of cultured night” may be your only guide…
Your mission will be determined by the agent before you. He or she will provide a task that you must complete, come hell or high water, be you seeking a lost doll, an obscure candy bar, or a missing gypsy taxidermist. You are required to attempt to perform what you are instructed, thoroughly and completely. Do not half-ass this; give it your all. Life or death may depend on it!
As you work through your mission to the best of your ability or when you complete it, debrief us. Provide a written report of what you did and how it went about, and back it up with any physical evidence that you can! After your mission, devise the mission for the next agent, and send it on.
It is time for action!

This is a passalong journal created by my 10 year old nephew Kaylan. My two nephews were over one day & saw the journals I was working on & they got excited about it and wanted to start their own. The topic of this journal is Scary Clowns, but all types of clowns are scary to Kaylan (he LOVES horror movies) so all types of clowns or clowns stories are welcome. Please no adult content since this is for a 10 year old but please help him fill up his book! Feel free to use as many pages as you would like and pass it around to your family and friends. When full please return to me, BookMooch ID: mspeegle.

In the style of interactive children’s books, each page will have a working pocket made by the artist with whatever materials strike their fancy. And inside the pockets? Mmmmm who knows what it has in its pockets?
