***This round is now complete***

OZ VBB
The Australian Virtual Bookbox - Round 81

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 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.
• When it is your turn, you may pass, take it, or ask to be placed at the end of the list if you wish.
• Once a book of yours is removed from the box, please send it as soon as possible (unless an arrangement has been made with the receiver). 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.
• It helps if participants have a wishlist and keep it up to date.
• 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 page for each book. A link to the LT work page is also helpful.
3. Check the “Books to be replaced” collection and replace if needed.
4. If you do not wish to take your turn then, you have the option to be placed at the end of the list.
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:

daisy09 (sofie777)
amberC
crimson-tide
book-a-neer
leah152
jeniwren
catsalive
lolkathryn (KLL)

Bumped list:

Welcome Everyone to Round 81

We're starting a little later this month but here we are again! The order of play has been shuffled for this round, and will stay the same for the next round.

Please remember - if you can't or don't wish to take your turn as scheduled, just let me know and I'll move you to the end of the list.

Here are some quick links:

Books owed or in transit

As usual, I shall message everyone to give a bit of a heads up.
I'll also let Kathryn know that she is welcome to start us off early if she wishes.

Have fun, and I hope everyone can find something of interest in the box.

I’m afraid I’ll need to delay the start of the next round for a while. There is a bug in the BookCrossing system which repeatedly turns off my notification preferences and so prevents me receiving any PMs. Apparently some of my outward PMs do arrive but I don’t know which ones as I don’t receive copies.

I have put my email address on my BC profile page, so please use this to contact me until things are sorted out.

I do have email addresses for some of you, but not all. However I don’t feel I should begin a new round without being confident I can contact everyone.

If any of you do see this message, please email me so I can at least confirm email addresses.

Thanks.
