BOOKS OUT OF PLAY LIST

Welcome to Round 19 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. This is an international book box so all players need to be prepared to send books internationally. Once a book of yours is removed from the box, please send it as soon as possible. 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!

BOOKS OUT OF PLAY LIST

Welcome to Round 19 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. This is an international book box so all players need to be prepared to send books internationally. Once a book of yours is removed from the box, please send it as soon as possible. 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.

Sorry I couldn't check in earlier. I've had such masses of computer/internet/technological problems lately that you wouldn't believe...but the good news is that I think everything is up & running again. :bananadance:

Welcome home, Geish!

Aw, thanks...

Noumena must be off traveling somewhere right now is she? I did PM but I know when she's away from home she often likes to be notified via another method - but I can't find any posts with info..... anyone else know? :unsure:

Contact information is in her profile. Includes phone numbers, text number, e-mail, etc. Her profile also says "Last Activity: Feb 26 2008, 11:08 AM"
