I really like putting the older books (those that have been in the box the longest) at the top. It should encourage people to choose them so they won't have to be replaced.

I know what Xeyra's gonna do... :P

One more to add to my big ol' box of books at your house? One of these days you'll have to M-Bag me, the amount of books I'm getting from you. Some of them doorstoppers and everything! :P

Will be back after work to take my turn.

Confirming! :D

a quick question before my turn comes up:

are audiobooks allowed in this VBB?

(also confirming!)

Out of town at the moment, but I'll be back tomorrow, confirming.

confirming

Yes, so long as you list them as audio books, and state if they're on casette or CD and abridged or unabridged.

I'd prefer that if you take/replace a large number of books, you not do so with all audio, but a couple are fine. :D

Can whoever updates next update the confirmed status of players please? :D

Flat rate boxes are my friend.

And what do you mean SOME of them?

I owe you 8 books... and they're all at least 600 pages!

confirmed!

:o :o

I know how to pick them, don't I?

Ouch.....

I'll edit my update, no worries. :)

Done.

:kiss:

Okay, so a couple of them are actually slightly shorter than 600 pages now that I look at them...

Perdido Street Station - 723 pages
The Scar - 578 pages
Dark Moon Defender - 466 pages
The Dragonbone Chair - 766 pages
Stone of Farewell - 675 pages
To Green Angel Tower Part 1 - 796 pages
To Green Angel Tower Part 2 - 796 pages
The War of the Flowers - 727 pages (hardcover)

but the rest definitely make up for those two! :rofl:

Sorry for the hold up. Life has just been wizzing by lately.

I need to replace two--

**The Kingdoms #2: The Usurper by Angus Wells (wss4)
**Outremer #6: The End of All Roads by Chaz Brenchley (wss4)

I will put in--

The Dushau Trilogy#2: Farfetch by Jacqueline Lichtenberg (wss4)

I doubt I'll be up, but since I sent Lexie another this afternoon reminding her about her turn, Freelunch, you can take your turn anytime after 11:00 PM EST.

I'm hopeless with timezones - I think it is now 6:30pm EST - if I'm wrong could someone please let me know so I don't take my turn early, or hold things up longer than necessary?

Thanks.

It is currently 6:37 PM EST, so I'm guessing you were right on target.

And, of course, you don't HAVE to go right at 11 PM EST either. You just can. Unless Lexie pokes her head in right before and says something like "I'm looking at the books, gimme a minute!!!" in which case, we'll give her a few minutes... but since she hasn't checked in, I didn't want to keep people waiting until I next got on the computer.

and I won't be sitting watching the clock with my post prepared and my finger poised over the [ENTER] key ;)

...but 11pm isn't too late for some people, so if I can post my turn in time for Appaloosatb to play tonight then things can keep rolling rolling rolling....

I'm keeping an eye on at least one book I'd rather go to me than to someone else, so I'm anxiously checking to see how quickly it's getting close to my turn! Especially since I have to wait at least 10 more days until the SFF swap begins.

:pm: to Appaloosatb

Almost my turn, I will be back tomorrow.

Still no Appa? I am off to the gym and then to do some shopping, will be back this afternoon.

sorry guys :( I thought I had written a reply to the thread about how you could bump me because I wasn't going to be able to check what I had AVL until last night due to commitments, but apparently it didn't go through.
