***This round is now complete***

OZ VBB
The Australian Virtual Bookbox - Round 86

Guidelines:


• Everyone who wants to participate volunteers two books to begin.
• The complete list of books in the box is at VBBOZ Books . This list includes the books in transit.
• If you would like to join, just let me (crimson-tide) 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 received a PM you will be given an additional 12-24 hours and then bumped to the end of the list for a turn at the end of the round.
• 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.
• Please only offer books you believe others would like to read, not rubbish you want to get rid of.
• 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.
• Books in the Extras Collection are in addition to what is required. They may be left or removed at any time.
• It helps if participants have a wishlist and keep it up to date.
• I will update books in the VBBOZ Library.

On your turn:

1. Select the books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post in this thread.
2. Replace with the same number of books 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, 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 it’s now their turn.

The order of play is:

jean-sol (Jean-Sol)

Welcome Everyone to Round 86

I really do hope that everyone is remaining safe and sane, and no-one has been adversely affected by all the bad stuff going on at the moment.

Here are the quick links:
vbboz profile page
All books (including those in transit because I can't get the other link to work)
Books to be replaced this round (from R83)
More books to be replaced this round (from R82)
Books owed or in transit
Mailed/Received Books

The order of play remains the same for this round and will be shuffled prior to the next round. If it's not convenient for you when your turn comes up, let me know and I'll move you to the end of the list.

I shall let Kylie 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 officially closing off this round now - thanks everyone.

The next round will be in May, so see you all then.
I’ll be in contact later with the starting date and the link to the round.

Has anyone had any contact with aussieangel2 recently? She has been MIA for both the last and this round and I haven’t been able to contact her.
Hope she is OK.

She appears to be still registering books, last on 20/3, but she hasn't journalled the book I sent in November. Course, it could've disappeared on the way.

>23 catsalive: Yes, I’ve asked her about that book too cats, but no reply . . .
