The box has arrived! Very surprised by the size of it, and the large quantity of audios! I've just begun sorting...will update shortly. :')

Lots of choices to sort through, which was fun!

REMOVED:
Lost in the Forest
Oh the Glory of it All
The Summons
Tom Sawyer, Detective
Billy Bud
Alice Through the Looking Glass
Around the World in Eighty Days
Treasure Island
Doctor Dolittle (this one has a crack in it, so I'm removing it; don't think it's playable)

PUTTING IN:
Remember Me - Trezza Azzopardi
The Twins of Tribeca - Rachel Pine
Garden Spells - Sarah Addison Allen
What Was She Thinking? [Notes on a Scandal] - Zoe Heller

I'm sorely under-read when it comes to the classics, so I removed all the 1-disc abridged classics, figuring maybe I can at least culture myself a little bit by reading the shortened versions. They'll be good for 1-hour car trips. :')

Thanks for including me, booklady! I'm hoping to mail this tomorrow, although I'm still waiting on a mailing address for KateKintail. Will update when it goes out officially... 

Journal Entry 69 by indygo88 from Lafayette, Indiana USA on Friday, July 24, 2009

Sending out today to KateKintail. The box it came in is still nice & sturdy (looks like it's already made a few trips on this route, judging by the addresses below mine!), so it may be able to make a few more trips as well. :')

Journal Entry 70 by KateKintail from Burke, Virginia USA on Thursday, July 30, 2009

Arrived at my house today. It took me a few minutes to figure out what it was (I'd forgotten it was heading my way and one of the cats was lying on the top of the box LOL).

This has got to be the best selection pool I've ever seen in an audio bookbox. There are a few I MUST take but I'll have to take a day or two making decisions about others. Good thing I have a few CDs of my own to trade with :-) Thanks for including me. I'll try to get it moving again by the end of the week or Monday at the latest.
