This is the play thread for a new bookbox using chambejd's new format. The new format does away with a set turn order letting members take turns as frequent as they wish. The box will be continuously open for the members to select books.

The box will be an international box with no restrictions on book dates or genres. I'm asking for donations of three books per person to join. If you want to leave the box at any time you may remove your three books; you don't have to stay until all are taken.

The basic rules of the box are the same as all the boxes except:

* No restrictions on included books
* Books must be replaced after a month.
* Turns can be taken anytime.
* There will be no limit to the number of books that one may take from the box, but players are expected to abide by the six-month mailing rule.
* To join, please post and donate two books to the box. Your name will be added to the list below as soon as you donate books.

You may want to do a quick post stating your intention to take a turn and then post with the updated box list. This is not required but might help avoid people taking turns at the same time. If you make a "notification of turn" post, it will only hold your turn for one hour so as to keep the box moving.
