BOOKS OUT OF PLAY LIST

Welcome to Round 20 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.

Meshe, can you help solve the mystery? :shrug: :lol:

:email: to meshe

As you can see I've tidied the box up a bit - I've moved suefitz's books out as it looks unlikely she will be here to replace them in the immediate future, and wss4 is putting them in the books out of play thread so when she does come back she will be able to pick up where she left off :grin:

Also, AEZ's books have been removed at her request.

And I have dropped DoC and Suefitz from the play list - again if they return they can rejoin, once they have sent out owed bookies :wink:

I was going to try and replace all the books that needed replacing by players with my own, but it's the postage you know :erm: and it's going up again in April :nono:

:hug:

Checking in and here's a :hug: for Giz. You're the bestest VBB host. :kiss:

Happy Easter Everybody!!

This is me checking in. Great job Gizzy, as always! :kiss:

No I am so NOT :lol: all VBB hosts are equal and four legs are as good as two :giggle:

But thanks all :)

I'll take
*Severed by Simon Kernick (MissBagPuss)

:pm:

I will skip this time. Plus I will only be replacing from now on. After all my books are gone from the book I will be dropping out. I have to much going on right now with school and everything. Plus I need to get caught up with my mailings and owed tbrs.

ATTENTION: This box has been going now since June 2006, please take a look at the status of your books out of play owed to others, especially from the earlier rounds to make sure you've mailed them, or please provide an update to their status (ex. still TBR by 3/07, or to be mailed by 3/07, or mailed 2/15/07, 3/07 just as an example not a deadline :) ) SOME PLAYERS owe books from a YEAR ago - from Round 18 players who owe books for over 6 months will need to mail them before they can remove new books. Players who are affected are marked #
