BookObsessed

BellaMack had sent me a PM offlist via BookCrossing, saying that she didn't want The Virgin Suicides anymore (can't remember the reason anymore but I believed she got another copy elsewhere) and requested for John Grisham's The Chamber instead, which I sent almost two years ago now. Journal entry here: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/3990515. Hope this helps to clarify things.

I've updated the database with the info you provided about the substitution to BellaMack - and I've removed your name from the posted 6 month list - thanks for clearing it all up!

If you have any further questions or would like help with the database or anything, please feel free to pm me directly (or any of the other moderators: fantasy221, cheesygiraffe, Giz-Angel, CheriePie - or our wonderful ladies who help with maintenance of the database: Marlene, chambejd, and wss4)

I hope I've addressed all your questions, but let me know if I missed anything - it's only 5 am here and I've not had any caffeine yet!

Again, welcome back to the forum, and we hope you'll stay and enjoy the fun!

I noticed leeny posted here. She had emailed me through FaceBook while I was asleep last night. I hadn't got a chance to answer her back because I just woke up and I need to be leaving for a basketball again very soon.
Thanks for helping clear this up, Rosie!
Hiya, Leeny!

OMG, 5 am?! I'm usually not conscious at that hour...

Thanks to CdnBlueRose for your help and explanations, and to cheesygiraffe for checking in with me here and on FB as well. I apologise for sounding so frazzled; it's just that I take my commitments very seriously and this kinda took me by surprise when I found out about this 6-month list and realised I was on there for books that I had sent out. I always put in a journal entry for all books that I send out via relay but it just happened for these two books, I didn't put a link to Notes on a Scandal on BookObsessed, and while I had a link to Virgin Suicides, the request for a different book wasn't registered on the forums itself, so both couldn't be tracked by the lady managing the database. DOH! Anyway, I know what the process is now so I'll certainly bear that in mind for future relays!

Phew, I feel much better now; thanks for putting up with me! Thanks again for the help and I will go check out that list of the five things I should know about BookObsessed - this newbie has much to learn!

Please look around elsewhere too. We have other things to do besides relays. VBBs, Swaps, and exchanges too. Plus good old chit chat and book talk.

Is there a reason that there is again a post to this at the top of every forum? I thought that was why we created this forum - so we wouldn't have to see it at the top of EVERY thing.

It's actually only at the top of the 3 Game forums....

But the answer is, Yeah because a lot of people didn't know this was here. :-/

By moving everything here, we consolidated where all the responses and tracking took place at least. Everyone who wants off the list has only a single place to post. But in so doing, the mods had numerous comments from other members about not being aware there was such a list and stuff like that. So we wanted to make sure this was more visible again.

Hey, just be happy I didn't make it into an Announcement. And at least I did clean out a couple of other old and never updated (in over a year) pinned topics from those forums while I was at it.

hey Mods

just wanted to update for the Overdue Obsessors:

stellarv owes Aug. JOE as well as the months listed but she does not owe July Ballyswappers (those are my months...)

peachy owes for August JOE, too.

luckaye owes almost all the Paranormal Devils months

Thanks Lemmy! I've updated it.

I must say that I think it is a good thing that this now has a separate forum.
When you click on bookobsessed now you will see this forum much more quicker.

I am always willing to help out , just pm me if you have any questions about books on zoho from swaps and VBB's.
