***This round is now complete***

OZ VBB
The Australian Virtual Bookbox - Round 73

Guidelines:


• Everyone who wants to participate volunteers two books. These need to be books you believe others would like to read, not rubbish you want to get rid of.
• List of books that are available at VBBOZ Books and books owed at In Transit.
• If you would like to join, just let us know and you will be added to the next round.
• You have 48 hours to respond and have your turn. If it appears that you may not have been sent a PM about your turn you will be given an additional 12 hours. If we still haven’t heard from you, you will be bumped to the end. If you are bumped you will be given 48 hours at the end of the round to take your turn along with others on the bumped list. If you find yourself on the bumped list you may post a request to be added to the end of the main list and take your turn as usual.
• Once a book of yours is removed from the box, please send it as soon as possible. TBR books are fine as long as you can read and send within a few months.
• If a book stays on the available list for more than two rounds it will be moved to the books to be replaced collection. Please keep track of these and replace them during your turn.
• Mid-series or end-of-series books are allowed in the VBB, but please limit yourself to offering only one such book at any time, unless you know the books are on another participant's wishlist.
• I will update books in the VBBOZ Library.

To join in you will need to have been a BookCrossing member for at least three months, and to have "wild released" at least ten books. This condition may be waived at my discretion.

On your turn:

1. Select the books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post. (please keep all posts in the relevant thread)
2. Replace with the same number of books (or more) and link to the BookCrossing journal pages for each book(s).
3. Check the “Books to be replaced” collection and replace if needed.
4. If you want to skip your turn, you have the option to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try this round.
5. PM the owners of your selected books to notify them of your selection and address.
6. Please PM the next person to let them know they're up. You don't need to PM the next person if you are last on the main list. People on the bumped list will be PMed by vbboz.

The order of play is:

lolkathryn
crimson-tide
amberC
jeniwren
book-a-neer
catsalive

Bumped list:
Billbooks
aussieangel2

- It's your turn now

Thanks amber, all done.

Thought I'd just add a reminder to everyone of how to create links to the books:

1. Placing square brackets around the title will link to the LibraryThing page.

2. The full BC address needs to be used (including the https:// before the www) to link to the BookCrossing page. The easiest way to do that is to copy and paste the address from the address bar at the top of the BC page for the book in question.

It is not essential to do this, however providing these links does make things much easier for others to look up the books directly from this thread.

Round 73 is now complete. Thanks everyone.

The next round is planned to begin in very early April.
However this means it may/will run into Easter.

If this is a problem for anyone, please let me know.
If you are planning to go away for Easter I can place you towards the beginning of the round.

Or alternatively we can delay the next round until late April or early May if enough people would prefer that.

So if you have a preference please say so . . .
