While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

This box arrived today (much to the bemusement of my work colleagues who are used to me receiving bookboxes but not this size or shape!). What a brilliant collection. I don't know where to start to choose what to take. I shall have fun sorting my way through this box of delights. More audio bookboxes please! This is great!

Journal Entry 10 by Scarlett17 on Sunday, October 9, 2005
OK, after a delay for holidays for me and jenatleisure, this box should be moving on again this week. I've had to get a bigger box, since I'm putting in American audiobooks which come in different shaped packaging from ours and wouldn't fit in the previous box. This now means I'm adding a few books to fill the gaps. Hope this doesn't offend anyone!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
The Beach by Alex Garland
Beyond Recall by Robert Goddard

Thanks everyone

Journal Entry 18 by Sunnybubble from Wallasey, Merseyside United Kingdom on Saturday, April 1, 2006
The bookbox was passed over in person by CelticStar & OddBallDave today at the Chester Meetup..It has grown considerably and I almost had to persuade Celticstar take my little girl home with her so I could use the pushchair as a wheelbarrow.
Thanks to everyone for particpating. I hope you all got something you've enjoyed and I now have lots of goodies to listen to when I'm driving around for work.

Hugs all round xxx
