I have been out for several weeks traveling across the US. Returned this weekend to find this huge and very packed box waiting.Will make my exchanges soon and get it going again.
Alas and Alack. Since I signed up for this box, I no longer have a car that plays cassettes. I have no trades because I have given all my cassette audios away. So I am simply passing it on to jcm.

Wow! What a box! It arrived in today's mail and I am sooo looking forward to diving into it and checking out the contents. At first glance, I saw some goodies. I saw the Great Santini by Pat Conroy in there. That will be a definite listen. Thank you so much, jcm, for sending this audio box off to me. I hope that my jeep's cassette deck holds out as I listen to these stories. I will make sure I ray the box forward when I'm finished. Well, off to dig through my treasure. ;-)
I took out a bunch of audio cassettes out of this box and have been slowly replacing them. I tried to replace many of them with never before bookcrossed audiobooks, to add new blood to the pool. I am ready to move the box along and have already contacted a few responsible BCers to see if they are interested in participating. If any of you past participants of this great audiobook bookbox would like to scrounge through this again, just PM me and I will get your name on the list. Hope to have this traveling in about 2 weeks. Thanks Katekintail for a fun audio adventure!
I'm moving this cassette audiobook box along on it's journey. The last person to receive the box is expected to "RAY IT FORWARD". Please try to keep this box moving by not holding on to it for more than 30 days. Enjoy!

Finally mailed this to HI. Sorry it took me so long.
This gigantic box arrived yesterday, literally as I was walking out the door on the way to our mass release (400+ books!) at the Hawaii Book and Music Festival..and when I got home I was exhausted. Today was church and my cousin's bridal shower.
So I'm only journaling the box now, but it *is* here and I'll get it moving again as quickly as I can.

I think I'll be more in the mood to listen to some children's books than to thrillers, so I took some children's books out of the box and put some of the thrillers I had inside.
I recommend The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Although I didn't listen to the audio version, I loved reading the printed book.
I sent the box out to nmreader on July 1 with delivery confirmation. Expected delivery date is July 5.

I found this box on my doorstep this afternoon. What a treat! We are leaving for a vacation tomorrow, but I'll post in the Rings, Rays, Bookboxes forum before we leave to start a new list of readers.
I've definitely delayed this box for far too long. I'm mailing it out to imawinn2 tomorrow.

The Cassette Audio Bookbox arrived today. It contained 78 audiobooks and weighed a whopping 30 lbs. I think, once I've switched out what I want to listen to and what I want to put back in, I will split this up into two or three more manageable sized book boxes. Then I will send them all on a continued journey. Thanks for sending the Earreading box my way, jsmeltser!
I am finally sending this box of audiobook cassette off on another journey. I did make it a more manageable bookbox by packing 30 audiobooks in it. The rest I will put back into circulation sometime in the future. Please try to keep this box moving by not holding on to it for more than 30 days. My wish is that the last person to receive this Earreading Audiobooks on Cassette #1 bookbox would "RAY IT FORWARD". Enjoy!

Boy, oh boy, what a box! This arrived on my doorstep last week--thanks for sending BigJohnLefty. Now, where do I start?
Boy, oh boy, what a bad BookCrosser I am! This arrived on my doorstep FIVE YEARS AGO courtesy of BigJohnLefty and I promptly put it on top of a bookcase in a Spare Oom and just recently discovered it. I'm going to journal all the books (yes, so sorry, didn't even do that the first time around) and get them moving again.
Moving the @Earreading Audiobooks on Cassette Bookbox #1 along at last! Off to sunny Florida!
