Books out of Play:

Rounds 1-7

Just checking in.

checking in

checking in - good I have time to read more!

confirming ;)

confirming

Skipping...

Checking in... but warning that I'll be off-line from Monday the 26th until Sunday or even Monday the 5th). Go ahead and skip me, or bump me way down the list, or something.

Checking 1 ,2 Checking 3, 4 ..... yup it's working and I'm ready to go :P

Confirming!

Checking in

I'll start (since Tribe skips this round)...by skipping it as well :lol: Nothing really grabs me right now :rolleyes:

Just checked the books owed and I think Im only waiting for Puppet from Lovemylife.

I am mailing in the next 10 days (soon as I can get to buffalo) brown eyed girl to sunlightbub and The Man with a load of Mischief to catsalive.

You have me down as owing cold truth to kislany from Sept but Im pretty sure that was sent long ago and received. I will check when I get home.

that's part of why I've asked for status and such, without links on a lot of the books now I can't as easily just clicky to see if it's received, so please post yer status' in the out of play thread, so i can note accordingly! Thanks ya'll!

All books I owe for all the bookboxes have been mailed out! :wink:

I'll take out:

Confessions by Carolyn Hart and
Mom Meets Her Maker by James Yaffee

And I'll put in:

The Dogfather ..by Susan Conant and
No Bones About it .. by Donna Huston Murray and
Dead Man's Island.. by Carolyn Hart

I'm assuming we're moving Potok-Fan down, so I'll PM MissBagPuss

Confirming! :bananadance:

checking in.

Ok - I'm confused now. Lovemylife buzzed me with her address saying she took my book "MOm Meets her Maker" out of the box. I let her know that was Catsalive's book , not mine.

However looking at what she took out of the box I think perhaps she meant to tell me she took "Confessions" (Jenny Cain #9) out of the box. I'm not sure though as the author she has listed with the book isn't the author of the confessions I have.

I don't see another book titled Confessions in the list though - Am I missing something somewhere? Any ideas? :blink:

Looks like I got books and people (and authors) mixed up. I got Confessions by Nancy Pickard from you, Brat - may I call you Brat? :lol: - and the other one from catsalive. Sorry.

I'm confirming. Sorry I didn't even know we'd started the next round. I thought this was the last round still going. :blush:

checking in :D

LOL - I figure that was what happened , but you just never know. Figured it'd be better to ask and wait.

I dug out your book and packaged it up , but won't get to the PO till the town finishes digging out from the 19" of white stuff dumped on us lastnight. LOL - My poor dog almost buried himself when he jumped off the (shoveled clear) deck into the yard this morning. :lol:

And yes .... Brat is fine. Infact I'd feel weird being called anything else. I've been "Da Brat" since I was 2 and it hasn't worn off yet. :wink:

Checking in. I will be out of pocket with no internet access at all from April 28 - may 10 and then again from May 20 - 26.

Just having a peek but I still have a few in front of me :D

Checking in! After tomorrow (Tuesday), I'll be without Internet access until March 3. So, please bump me down if we rocket through the list this time! Thanks!

Has anyone heard from missbagpuss lately?? I sent a pm to her about our inkling group this morning but no response yet - though it hasnt been even 12 hours yet.

Confirming and seeing that I'm waaaaaay down the list.
Okey dokey! More time to actually read a book instead of just buying them.
