BOOKS OUT OF PLAY LISTWelcome to Round 18 of the Mystery Virtual Bookbox!If you would like to join, just let us know, you will be added to the bottom of the list.

Any updates with mailing go into the books out of play thread.
If you are already on the list, please check in and give any dates that you will be out during the course of play so we know to wait on you or not. Let Shaunie or Giz know if you see anything amiss that they need to check on.
Turn time is 2 full days (unless we've had dates from the player)
If you have any books with 2 stars this time (**) you will need to replace them on your turn this round (but not until your turn, someone might still want them before it gets to you!). Thanks!
Please could you make sure there is a description of the book in the JE, so people know what the book is that you are offering.Moves:Ace removes:*Death by Darjeeling, Tea Shop Mysteries, Bk. 1 by Laura Childs [TBR] (Bibliocrates)
