Romance VBB Round 17!
**New players are welcome and will be added to the end of the list.
**Next shuffle on round 18

General Rules:
1. This box is open to international players so please be aware that if your book is selected you may have to ship it internationally.
2. Although the genre is romance there are certain types of books that are not allowed. These are categories, or series types of books. An example would be a
Harlequin Presents, or an American Superromance. More examples can be found here and here. If you are not sure if your book fits into one of these categories, ask before making your move.
3. Players who have not checked in at all during 2 or more rounds of play will be dropped from the box. They are welcome to join back as long as they replace any books that have gone stale during their absence.
4. Players who have books waiting to be mailed from more than 6 rounds ago will be asked not to take any new books from the box until they have mailed all books older than 6 rounds ago. They will still be responsible for replacing any books that have gone stale on their turn.

Turn Time Limit Rules:

1. Turn time is 2 full days, which is 48 hours from the time the previous player takes their turn, not the time of the update.
2. If two days is a problem for you (i.e. you can't get online during the weekends, or will be on a trip, etc.) please let me know so that I can put a note by your name and allow you extra time.
3. If the full 48 hours has passed with no word from the player, the next player will go, and the missing player will be moved down 1 space. We will do this 3 times, but without the 2 day time limit each time. A player skipped in this way will only have the time it takes for the next three people to take their turns to check in before being dropped to the bottom of the list (this is all if we have not heard from the player). It will look like this: 2 days, skip, skip, skip, bottom. If a player is skipped in this way and/or placed at the bottom, that spot will become their new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
4. The Box Organizer will be the time keeper and determine a skip or bottom placement.
5. New players will be accepted during play and added to the bottom of the list.

On Your Turn:

1. Select the number of books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
2. Replace those with the same number of books (or more if you like) and link to the journal entries for your book(s). Please PM the next person in line
3. If any of your books have "**" in front of them, you MUST replace them when your turn comes up.
4. If you decide to skip, you have the option to ask to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try. If you do this, that will become your new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled. (Reshuffling will happen after every 3 rounds.)
5. If you are willing and able to do the update, please do so. Before posting, verify that you've (1) listed your move in the Moves section, (2) added to the list of books the ones you're putting in, (3) removed from the list of books the ones you're taking out or replacing, and (4) listed the books you're taking out in the Books Out of Play section at the bottom, indicating they are going to you. (This is all fairly easy to do with cut and paste so long as you remember all the steps.)

Thanks for updating Sidney! I was just coming to do that! I PMd Camis.

Also, there's a lot of books that need to be replaced this round. Anyone want to do some book pimping and tell us how good any particular ** book is? Doesn't have to be a book you put in, just one that you've read and enjoyed.

Ok, I'll pimp.

Here's what I've read from the ** section that I'd recommend...

**I'm in No Mood For Love by Rachel Gibson (terrafreak - Not my favorite Rachel Gibson, but she's a great author.

**See Jane Score by Rachel Gibson (Fantasy) -- This is one of my favorites by Gibson.

**Bookends by Jane Green (boogal) -- I thought this was really good.

**Ready or Not by Chris Manby (Xallroyx) - If you haven't ever tried a book by Chris Manby, I would highly recommend!

I'll pimp my own book - Girl Cook. A while back it was stolen bunches in every swap it appeared in. I thought it was really well done and gave a good illustration into what it must be like to be a chef. I remember there being some romance as well - it was definitely one of those books that I wanted to have a sequel.

Romance VBB Round 17!
**New players are welcome and will be added to the end of the list.
**Next shuffle on round 18

General Rules:
1. This box is open to international players so please be aware that if your book is selected you may have to ship it internationally.
2. Although the genre is romance there are certain types of books that are not allowed. These are categories, or series types of books. An example would be a
Harlequin Presents, or an American Superromance. More examples can be found here and here. If you are not sure if your book fits into one of these categories, ask before making your move.
3. Players who have not checked in at all during 2 or more rounds of play will be dropped from the box. They are welcome to join back as long as they replace any books that have gone stale during their absence.
4. Players who have books waiting to be mailed from more than 6 rounds ago will be asked not to take any new books from the box until they have mailed all books older than 6 rounds ago. They will still be responsible for replacing any books that have gone stale on their turn.

Turn Time Limit Rules:

1. Turn time is 2 full days, which is 48 hours from the time the previous player takes their turn, not the time of the update.
2. If two days is a problem for you (i.e. you can't get online during the weekends, or will be on a trip, etc.) please let me know so that I can put a note by your name and allow you extra time.
3. If the full 48 hours has passed with no word from the player, the next player will go, and the missing player will be moved down 1 space. We will do this 3 times, but without the 2 day time limit each time. A player skipped in this way will only have the time it takes for the next three people to take their turns to check in before being dropped to the bottom of the list (this is all if we have not heard from the player). It will look like this: 2 days, skip, skip, skip, bottom. If a player is skipped in this way and/or placed at the bottom, that spot will become their new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
4. The Box Organizer will be the time keeper and determine a skip or bottom placement.
5. New players will be accepted during play and added to the bottom of the list.

On Your Turn:

1. Select the number of books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
2. Replace those with the same number of books (or more if you like) and link to the journal entries for your book(s). Please PM the next person in line
3. If any of your books have "**" in front of them, you MUST replace them when your turn comes up.
4. If you decide to skip, you have the option to ask to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try. If you do this, that will become your new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled. (Reshuffling will happen after every 3 rounds.)
5. If you are willing and able to do the update, please do so. Before posting, verify that you've (1) listed your move in the Moves section, (2) added to the list of books the ones you're putting in, (3) removed from the list of books the ones you're taking out or replacing, and (4) listed the books you're taking out in the Books Out of Play section at the bottom, indicating they are going to you.

I'll agree with this - I thought it was great!

Love Overboard was quite fun as well (and a quick read). Chris Manby is always worth a read, although I haven't read Ready Or Not yet - it's on Mount TBR!

Sorry I haven't taken more out this time, but I haven't got any suitable availables adn I'm trying to get some sort of grip on Mount TBR (yeah, I know, impossible!)

I've PM'd Three

I don't really have anything good for this, so I'm skipping yet again. *sigh*

I really liked Bookends. It's the best Jane Green book I've read so far. And Overboard was very enjoyable...I was expecting to like it as well as I did.

I know I'm up, I'll probably go tomorrow

Soooo, I see I'm up (already!) but will need a little time to sort things out because I have so many to replace and seem to be coming down with something. (The good news is that if I'm sick in bed I can read and chip away at the TBR pile!!!).
Hope to be able to make my play tomorrow. or the next day. (Sorry for the delay, just a lot on at work these days...) :blush:

I took advantage of a break here and I've chosen books from my list, but didn't go home to double-check they're actually on the shelves, so just have to cross my fingers I've been good about keeping my trade list up to date.

I'll give you the bookcrossing references...

I'll replace these four books
*Sapphire by Rosemary Rogers (Penelopewanders)

I hope that's all ok, and that I haven't forgotten to replace something or soemthing. When I'm home I'll locate all the books - if there's an error I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Harlequin Presents, or an American Superromance. More examples can be found here and here. If you are not sure if your book fits into one of these categories, ask before making your move.
3. Players who have not checked in at all during 2 or more rounds of play will be dropped from the box. They are welcome to join back as long as they replace any books that have gone stale during their absence.
4. Players who have books waiting to be mailed from more than 6 rounds ago will be asked not to take any new books from the box until they have mailed all books older than 6 rounds ago. They will still be responsible for replacing any books that have gone stale on their turn.

Turn Time Limit Rules:

1. Turn time is 2 full days, which is 48 hours from the time the previous player takes their turn, not the time of the update.
2. If two days is a problem for you (i.e. you can't get online during the weekends, or will be on a trip, etc.) please let me know so that I can put a note by your name and allow you extra time.
3. If the full 48 hours has passed with no word from the player, the next player will go, and the missing player will be moved down 1 space. We will do this 3 times, but without the 2 day time limit each time. A player skipped in this way will only have the time it takes for the next three people to take their turns to check in before being dropped to the bottom of the list (this is all if we have not heard from the player). It will look like this: 2 days, skip, skip, skip, bottom. If a player is skipped in this way and/or placed at the bottom, that spot will become their new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
4. The Box Organizer will be the time keeper and determine a skip or bottom placement.
5. New players will be accepted during play and added to the bottom of the list.

On Your Turn:

1. Select the number of books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
2. Replace those with the same number of books (or more if you like) and link to the journal entries for your book(s). Please PM the next person in line
3. If any of your books have "**" in front of them, you MUST replace them when your turn comes up.
4. If you decide to skip, you have the option to ask to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try. If you do this, that will become your new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled. (Reshuffling will happen after every 3 rounds.)
5. If you are willing and able to do the update, please do so. Before posting, verify that you've (1) listed your move in the Moves section, (2) added to the list of books the ones you're putting in, (3) removed from the list of books the ones you're taking out or replacing, and (4) listed the books you're taking out in the Books Out of Play section at the bottom, indicating they are going to you. (This is all fairly easy to do with cut and paste so long as you remember all the steps.)

I know it's my turn! I'm just waiting to see if I already have one of these books or if I have one with a very similar title....which is in my car....which is out with my sister for the next couple hours. :rolleyes:

well can't you call her and find out?! :lol: Just kidding! :P

That would have pointed out the fact that I had books stashed in my trunk, now wouldn't it? :whistle:

What's the point of stashing them there if you're going to tell everyone about it? :shh:
