This thread should be up to date and all books linked for easier checking. Let me know if there are any problems.

I received Bright Messangers(Kyrissaean-->AlterEgoZoe) today.

I know I have this book, but I must have forgotten to do a journal entry on it. I'll have to dig through some boxes to find it.

Book of Words, Vol. III: Master and Fool by J.V. Jones (Tribefan --> Sarradee)

Yeah at the time she said she could find it. it must have been already sent and forgot! :P

Was a satisfactory arrangement worked out? Should I just delete it from the thread? Let me know. :D

NP Sarra, do you want me to wait to delete until you journal it or go ahead since you know you have it?

You can go ahead and delete it since I'm 100% positive it's here somewhere.

Yeah, she sent me another book from her shelf (which I picked). :)

Okay both of these have been taken care of. Thanks for the updates!

Replay has been sent to FranciJo for Cats' M-Bag.

*(Symphony of the Ages Book 5) Elegy for a Lost Star by Elizabeth Haydon (PepperVL --> Xeyra)

Was mailed (surface) on 5/1/07. I forgot to come in here and mention that. :blush:

I was looking through this and noticed that the following books have made it to their destination.... :wink:

Round 5 - January 2007
Keys To the Kingdom #1: Mister Monday by Garth Nix (AsterW --> Appaloosatb)
Keys To the Kingdom #2: Grim Tuesday by Garth Nix (TBR) (AsterW --> Appaloosatb)
Keys To the Kingdom #3: Drowned Wednesday by Garth Nix (TBR) (AsterW --> Appaloosatb)

Okay all updated.

Some of these were sent out a really long time ago (some a year ago). Have they been received and just not journaled? Should they be considered lost in the mail?

Night's Daughter by Marion Zimmer Bradley (karendawn -> MissyZ) mailed 7/3/06
Powers That Be by Anne Mccaffrey, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough (Tribefan -> MissyZ) mailed 7/6/06
The Earth Remembers by Susan Torian Olan (Tribefan -> MissyZ) mailed 7/6/06
The Sword Is Forged by Evangeline Walton (karendawn -> MissyZ) mailed 7/3/06
Another Fine Myth by Robert Asprin (TBR) (Xeyra --> SandDanz) mailed ??
*Dragon's Milk (Dragon Chronicles Book 1) by Susan Fletcher (appa --> SandDanz) mailed 9/10/06
*Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (TBR) (krin511 --> Appa) mailed 1/15/07

I would be more inclined to go with not journaled by receiver on all of those with the exception of appa.

I have considered removing the ones to MissyZ as she is no longer active here or I am assuming at BookCrossing.

As for the others I am not sure what to do. I think leave them until we have some kind of word from the receiver rather they arrived or not since they are both still active here.

I'll PM Sand to see if she ended up receiving the Myth book.

After this round, I'm going to PM everyone who hasn't journalled books that seem to have been mailed some time ago and should have arrived.

I'm also considering implementing a rule about mailing books out... and journaling them as recieved. :shrug:

Go ahead and remove the ones to/from Missy, though... I don't think we're ever going to hear from her.

Done and I think that is a good idea.

I have received these:

All the Weyrs of Pern by Anne McCaffrey (nimrodiel --> catsalive)
The Methuselah Enzyme by Fred Mustard Stewart (Tranq1 --> catsalive)
Replay by Ken Grimwood (AlterEgoZoe ---> catsalive)

Thanks all.
