2003 or Newer VBB ( US ONLY), ROUND 1 - February 2008

Box Guidelines:
*If you owe books from more than 6 months ago, you should refrain from taking any new books out of the box until you've first caught up those past due obligations. (Books owed from less than 6 months ago, with m-bag organizers, or for which other arrangements have been made don't count towards this limit.)
*Turn time is 2 full days, or 48 hours, from the time the update announcing the player's turn is posted. If you are going to be away or otherwise inaccessible when your turn comes up, please let me know so that I can put a note by your name and your absence will not be treated as a "no-show" (see below).
*If the full 48 hours has passed with no word from the player, then the next player will take their turn. Do this for the next 3 players following the missing player, and if they still haven't checked in by then, they'll be bumped to the bottom of the list. This will become their new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
*At the start of each round, an * is placed in front of each title still in the box to track how long it's been in. If a book you've put in isn't taken after 2 complete rounds (**), you must replace it with a different one on your next turn.
*The Box Organizer will be the official time keeper and determine a skip or bottom placement.
*New players will be accepted during play and added to the bottom of the list.
On Your Turn:
*Select the books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
*Replace with the same number of books (or more) and link to the BookCrossing journal pages for each book(s).
*If any of your books have "**" in front of them, they must be replaced now as well.
*If you want to skip your turn, you have the option to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try this round. If you do this, it will become your new permanent spot until the next list reshuffle. (Reshuffling happens every round.)
*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.) If you're new, don't worry about doing updates just yet!
*Please PM the next person to let them know they're up.

I was not sure if you wanted to list the new books added separately or not. I started a new section, but you can adjust it to whichever way you prefer. :D

According to the initial thread, this box was going to be every other month so 3 rounds will equal six months, which is what I think the standard limit is here. so you might want to change the guidelines to read "more than 3 rounds" and "owed from less than 3 rounds" instead of 6 :wave:

"*If you owe books from more than 6 rounds ago, you should refrain from taking any new books out of the box until you've first caught up those past due obligations. (Books owed from less than 6 rounds ago, with m-bag organizers, or for which other arrangements have been made don't count towards this limit.)"

:wave: That was sorta kinda my fault as I copied the rules over for BunnyLady without changing that part to fit this box - so I made the change for her! Thanks for catching that! :)

Bless you Rosie!! :goodjob:

I'm going to start things off with a skip lol. I'll PM the next person.

I edited my post.

I have Gone With the Nerd sitting in my "to be released" pile. I can send it to you instead if you like, elsi!

Oh -- that would be fun. Do you see anything you want from my Available or TBR shelf?

2003 or Newer VBB (US ONLY), ROUND 1 - February 2008

Box Guidelines:
*If you owe books from more than 6 months ago, you should refrain from taking any new books out of the box until you've first caught up those past due obligations. (Books owed from less than 6 months ago, with m-bag organizers, or for which other arrangements have been made don't count towards this limit.)
*Turn time is 2 full days, or 48 hours, from the time the update announcing the player's turn is posted. If you are going to be away or otherwise inaccessible when your turn comes up, please let me know so that I can put a note by your name and your absence will not be treated as a "no-show" (see below).
*If the full 48 hours has passed with no word from the player, then the next player will take their turn. Do this for the next 3 players following the missing player, and if they still haven't checked in by then, they'll be bumped to the bottom of the list. This will become their new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
*At the start of each round, an * is placed in front of each title still in the box to track how long it's been in. If a book you've put in isn't taken after 2 complete rounds (**), you must replace it with a different one on your next turn.
*The Box Organizer will be the official time keeper and determine a skip or bottom placement.
*New players will be accepted during play and added to the bottom of the list.
On Your Turn:
*Select the books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
*Replace with the same number of books (or more) and link to the BookCrossing journal pages for each book(s).
*If any of your books have "**" in front of them, they must be replaced now as well.
*If you want to skip your turn, you have the option to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try this round. If you do this, it will become your new permanent spot until the next list reshuffle. (Reshuffling happens every round.)
*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.) If you're new, don't worry about doing updates just yet!
*Please PM the next person to let them know they're up.

I don't have anything ready to put in, so I'm going to have to pass this round - and be prepared for the next round! :blush: I'll edit the above update and PM the next person.

2003 or Newer VBB (US ONLY), ROUND 1 - February 2008

Box Guidelines:
*If you owe books from more than 6 months ago, you should refrain from taking any new books out of the box until you've first caught up those past due obligations. (Books owed from less than 6 months ago, with m-bag organizers, or for which other arrangements have been made don't count towards this limit.)
*Turn time is 2 full days, or 48 hours, from the time the update announcing the player's turn is posted. If you are going to be away or otherwise inaccessible when your turn comes up, please let me know so that I can put a note by your name and your absence will not be treated as a "no-show" (see below).
*If the full 48 hours has passed with no word from the player, then the next player will take their turn. Do this for the next 3 players following the missing player, and if they still haven't checked in by then, they'll be bumped to the bottom of the list. This will become their new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
*At the start of each round, an * is placed in front of each title still in the box to track how long it's been in. If a book you've put in isn't taken after 2 complete rounds (**), you must replace it with a different one on your next turn.
*The Box Organizer will be the official time keeper and determine a skip or bottom placement.
*New players will be accepted during play and added to the bottom of the list.
On Your Turn:
*Select the books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
*Replace with the same number of books (or more) and link to the BookCrossing journal pages for each book(s).
*If any of your books have "**" in front of them, they must be replaced now as well.
*If you want to skip your turn, you have the option to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try this round. If you do this, it will become your new permanent spot until the next list reshuffle. (Reshuffling happens every round.)
*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.) If you're new, don't worry about doing updates just yet!
*Please PM the next person to let them know they're up.

just from an aesthetic point of view, would anyone object to moving the "Moves" section higher up? To me it's in a weird place and I find it confusing to see the new books in the box even before seeing what was taken out and put in.
