Welcome to Round 85 of the Mystery Virtual Bookbox!
  • Turn time is 2 full days (unless the player has let us know otherwise). If you will be away during the month, please check in and give any dates that you will be out so we know to wait on you or not.
  • If you would like to join, just let us know and you will be added to the bottom of the list. This is an international book box so all players need to be prepared to send books internationally.
  • On your turn, if the full 48 hours has passed with no word from you, you will be bumped to the bottom of the list and then the next player will take his turn. This will become your new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
  • At the start of each round, an * is placed in front of each title still in the box to track how long it's been in. If you have any books with 2 stars this time (**) you will need to replace them on your turn (but not until your turn, someone might still want them before it gets to you!).
  • 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. If you do this, it will become your new permanent spot until the next list reshuffle. (Playing order shuffled for Round 84. Next re-shuffle will be Round 87.)
  • Players who are on the 6-month overdue list on the first of the month when the new round starts will be marked # and will be restricted to replacing until they catch up. If the overdue books have been mailed, let me (Elsi) know and I'll update your status.
  • Please make sure there is a description of the book in the BookCrossing journal entry, so people know what the book that you are offering is all about. ALL BOOKS must be registered at BookCrossing and a link provided to the journal entry.

On Your Turn:

*Select the books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
*Replace with the same number of books (or more) and link to the BookCrossing journal page for each book.
*If any of your books have two or more * in front of them, they must be replaced now.
*E-mail the next person to let her know she's up. If you want to send a PM as well as the E-mail, do so.
*If you are willing and able to do the update, please do so. Before posting, verify that you've (1) listed your move in the Moves section, (2) added to the list of books the ones you're putting in, (3) removed from the list of books the ones you're taking out or replacing, and (4) listed the books you're taking out in the Books Out of Play section at the bottom, indicating they are going to you. (This is all fairly easy to do with cut and paste so long as you remember all the steps.) If you're new, don't worry about doing updates just yet!




Once a book of yours is removed from the box, please send it as soon as possible.

Let elsi know if you see anything amiss that needs checking on.

Thanks!
