Thank you Marge, for your interest in the yummy bookbox.
Sure, I can add you to this round if you like. But if you need time to get ready some books, we'll start you on next round.

Meanwhile, I'm pm'ed both DD and AmberC to let them know to take their turns, whoever show up first. DD is officially bumped after so many days but as she's second to last, I'll just pm'ed both of them, and hopefully they will show up before the next round begins in two weeks.
