Noch Plätze frei... Wenn die Box bei mir wieder ankommt, wird sie nach einem Austausch einzelner Bücher erneut auf die Reise geschickt... Vielleicht könnt ihr ja schauen, dass es am Ende mehr Phantastik drin ist als Thriller? O:-)
- Wenn die BookBox bei Euch ankommt:
- Bitte sofort JournalEntry hier bei der YAEB machen, dass sie bei Euch angekommen ist: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/829860
- Bitte JournalEntry bei den Büchern machen die ihr rausnehmt. Und ungefähr soviele Bücher hineinlegen wie herausnehmen.
- Bitte ReleaseNote! bei den Büchern machen, die ihr reinlegt. Release-Ort ist "Germany / Baden-Württemberg / Postal Release / YAEB - Yet Another English BookBox" - Der Sinn dabei ist, dass immer zu sehen ist, welche Bücher derzeit in der YAEB sind. Und zwar hier: http://www.bookcrossing.com/hunt/28/238/42260/98608
- Innerhalb von drei Tagen die BookBox wieder auf die Post bringen. Zum Lesen der herausgenommenen Bücher habt ihr ja zum Ausgleich beliebig lange Zeit.

Ging als erstes an MueckeGuen.
- Herausgenommen habe ich...:
- Kazuo Ishiguro: The Remains of the Day
- Who Put the Pizza in the Vcr: Laughing Your Way Through Life's Little Emergencies

Wenn die Post noch offen ist, leite ich die Box gleich heute noch weiter an Herrundmeyer.
Herausgenommen habe ich nach kurzem Ringen mit mir selbst:
F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby
Robert Ludlum - The Parsifal Mosaic
Anne Haverty - One Day as a Tiger
Wilbur Smith - River God
Die folgenden Bücher sind jetzt (zusätzlich zu denen, die ich nicht 'rausgenommen habe) Bestandteile der Box:
Herman Wouk - The Winds of War
Joseph Wambaugh - Finnegan's Week
Paul Huson - The Keepsake
Charlotte Hunt - Gemini Revenged
Tom Wolfe - Bonfire of the Vanities
Stephen Fry - The Liar
G.K. Chesterton - Father Brown
Ja, ich weiß, es sind ein paar mehr, als ich herausgenommen habe, aber in dem Pluspäckchen war noch so viel Platz, und da hab ich lieber noch ein, zwei Bücher mehr mit reingepackt als ein paar alte Zeitungen...
Und ab geht die Post, hoffentlich ganz rasant nach Hamburg zu mojitopt!
Thank you Herrundmeyer!
Took out the following:
+ Stephen Fry - The Liar
+ Elizabeth Longford - The Royal House of Windsor
Put in the following:
+ Stephen King - Salem's Lot
+ Richard Preston - The Hot Zone
I'm afraid that due to the cleaning up and reorganization of the States/Cities by Ron and his crew, it is now impossible to release into the crossing zone prepared by IrasCignavojo, that the other YAEB participants used before - sorry!
... nach nur kurzem Boxenstop heute schon weiter an buecherfresser. Viel Spaß damit!

It's just as well I have a good memory for numbers, because after I had sent off the bookbox, I couldn't find the beginning of the BCID on the internet.
the box' id is on the bookplate, on the backside of the paper sheet inside the plastic a4 protection.
Die Box soll Anfang nächster Woche weitergehen.
Der Inhalt wird zu Beginn manches haben was zuletzt schon darin war, und einiges neue ist dazugekommen. Und wie immer wird sich der Inhalt ändern, wobei ich es schön fände, wenn es weiter so bunt, vielfältig und in Teilen auch literarisch wertvoll bleiben würde. Heute muss die Box auf die Reise gehen - aber anmelden könnt Ihr Euch natürlich auch die nächsten Wochen noch.

N/A /
YAEB - Yet Another English BookBox"

-West Side Story - it's tiny, it's a classic; how could I resist?

-Running with the Demon, my first Terry Brooks in a long time...

-Spin Doctor
-Wifey, which I didn't take out of the YAEB the first time it came around...
-Windy City Blues
-The Complete Yes Prime Minister, although I don't know the show, and finally, in the way of catching up on classics

In:
-Die Höhlenkinder - not English, I admit, but a bookray that Daine is waiting for. :)
-The Dragonstone
