• 
  
• Please don't add books owed from SandDanz. We've set up a separate thread for her books in the hopes that she'll eventually return and fulfill those obligations.
  
  
• If both parties involved in the transaction are still active at BObs and sending stuff out, please verify that the book was indeed never received before adding it here. In many cases it may just have forgotten to be journaled at the receiving end. (I expect this is part of standard VBB maintenance anyway.) The only books that should be listed here, in which both parties are still active members, are those books that are truly lost in the mail.
  
  
• Before sending, contact the intended recipient directly to verify they still want the book and confirm their address. They may have since acquired it elsewhere or no longer want it since we put this list together.
  
  
• You should only offer up books that you have available to send now or in the immediate future. We don't want this list to become a way of transferring Owed TBRs from one pile (or person) to another.
  
  
• This service is intended only for other Obsessors. By that I mean please don't post in here about books gone missing over on BookCrossing for people who aren't even involved over here. I don't mind linking to any other lists like this from the top post but I don't want to be adding all those to our list.

I can send Narcissus in Chains to Kislany. I am only on #8 in the series but I don't mind sending mine to her and getting another copy elsewhere when the time comes.

Well why don't you check with Kis and see if she's ready for it now or what. Perhaps she wasn't ready for it yet and that's why she told Nan she'd write it off. So at the rate you read, you might have gotten to it before Kis needs it anyway. I just hate to see her go without since she had put something in the VBB for that and does still want it....

Thanks Amber!!

There are several from the Everybook VBB that would qualify for this list. I haven't checked with most of these people so you may want to do so before sending any books...

*The Return Journey by Maeve Binchy (MissyZ ---> Potok-fan) mailed
The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer by Philip Carlo (happybunnygirl ---> missbagpuss) mailed
*The Englisher by: Beverly Lewis (thecrookedfrog ---> ramson)
Big Cherry Holler by Adriana Trigiani (butterfly-noir ---> giz-angel)
High Heels and Homicide by Kasey Michaels (happybunnygirl --> kislany)
Sisters & Husbands by Amanda Brookfield (purple-pixie ---> three104) mailed
*The Onion Field by Joseph Wambaugh (daughterofcokie--> MissBagPuss) released elsewhere??

I didn't include the books that suefitz owes 'cause I keep hoping that she'll show up once she gets back on her feet and send out what she owes.

High Heels and Homicide by Kasey Michaels (happybunnygirl --> kislany)

I didn't include the books that suefitz owes 'cause I keep hoping that she'll show up once she gets back on her feet and send out what she owes.  

I added them all to the list, but some of these I'm not sure on as I couldn't look up their status on BookCrossing. (Maybe it's down at the moment.)

Like the one from purple-pixie for instance. She's still active. That's marked mailed but there's not a date so is it that you don't know. In which case purple-pixie should be following up rather than asking someone else to bail her out. If it was legitimately lost in the mail, that's another thing and it does belong here.

Also, Three has admitted that she has a lot of stuff she hasn't yet journaled. Have you confirmed with her that she definitely didn't receive that book from purple-pixie. (Actually this is the same transaction I'm questioning anyway.)

For anything to do with daughterofcokie, you can contact her mom, ChemoRN, via BookCrossing and let her know on any books DoC owes and she will send it out.

So basically I'd like to see a teensy bit more research from your side before automatically putting everything that's not yet received on this list. Okay?

Sure, I understand that you'd like more research done, so don't worry about putting the ones on there that you don't want to. I'm certainly *not* doing any work on finding out which ones from the Everybook VBB should go on the list. I maintain the Everybook VBB books out of play list so I thought compiling this information would be helpful; however, I am not everyone's personal assistant. If people don't have the time and effort to journal their owns books either with receipt info or with accurate info if/when the book was sent, I'm certainly not spending my time and effort to put into resolving what is going on with their books. If someone wants their book on the list, they can take on the responsibility of submitting the request themselves, I suppose.

ChemoRN and I had a conversation weeks ago about the released books and I suggested she pm mbp regarding The Onion Field.

I was thinking about something similar with this with the Horror VBB. Most that I have on my list are to or from SandDanz (which from what I remember is on the job hunt still). I was considering asking Sand if she didn't mind, I could offer my copy of a book she owes someone in the VBB.
