Have also recently participated in iwillrejoice's VirtualBookBox of audiobooks on CD and cassette - a wonderful idea which avoids the kind of situations like my box I started in January of 2011, and was stalled for nine months (clicking on the link for it above and looking at dates on journal entries will tell you the two BookCrossers responsible for this)!
I've also recently joined BookObsessed, where I've been involved in a VBB that is similarly remarkably efficient.
Am currently in the process of reading Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series (from the beginning) out loud to my fiance KellyRae:

I've got plenty of RABCK's, Journals and rings out there that are Missing In Action, and/or unjournaled, but I'm not anal enough to harangue people over books that have been set free anyway; I've got bigger fish to fry.....
If PM's are not going through, you can email me at: jkg4530@hotmail.com
Panera Bread, 86th St., Urbandale (Des Moines area bookcrossers used to meet here, but the sign has been taken down, and I'm not sure how active it is anymore.....)
Starbucks at 10th & Locust
When in Omaha (I travel there about every other month) I like to wild-release at:
13th Street Coffee in the Old Market area
Anyone viewing my bookshelf who sees a book which is presently "available" is welcome to PM me with an address and I'll mail it to you.
A FURTHER NOTE ABOUT RABCK'S: Many folks have written me with requests for several books, intending them to be choices; some have figured out that keeping up a running dialogue with me regarding my articles (or my bookshelf) will garner multiple RABCK's! The way I figure it, useful feedback begets more fodder for articles, and I'll show my gratitude by sending you treasures from my shelf.
