Ack! My apologies. I remember taking out an audio, replacing an audio, sticking an address on the package and taking it to the post office.
All but the last actually happened. I just found the box and another BC book that I thought I mailed a few weeks ago right after k00kaburra sent me her address (she's prompt, I'm not!). I'm going to try to get to the post office today. If not, I'll mail this on Monday (Feb. 28).
I already have quite a few of the audios in the box, but one caught my eye/ear. I took out:
The Story of a Marriage by Andrew Sean Greer (UN, 6 CDs)
I put in:
Conversations With My Dog by Zig Ziglar (UN, 4 CDs)
and
Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde (UN, 8 CDs, download)
Sorry again for the delay.

The box is here. I haven't had a chance to look through it yet, but looking forward to doing so in the next few days.
So sorry to have kept this box for so long. Things got a bit hectic around here.
I'm only swapping out one book this time since I'd read a lot of the books in the box right now. I took out:
The Long Fall
And added:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
I've PM'd NMReader to get an address to send the box and will mail it as soon as I hear back.

The box arrived today, many thanks! Unfortunately, I've read a large number of the books, or else the cases had rubber bands around them (and I'm allergic to latex/ natural rubber so couldn't handle them and had to be cautious of the books next to them . :( my son pulled a few unbounded ones out of the box and wiped them down for me. I"ll decide from those, add my own, and send the box on to the next person as soon as I get an address.
I took out:
Wormwood by GP Taylor
The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue
MisterBGone by Clive Barker

Surprise! I checked on this box yesterday and it was still marked TBR by tostle...and then it turned up at my house today*!
I will look through it, make my choices, and get this moving again as quickly as I can; I've sent a PM to the next person in line.

It turns out that this box is going to have a hitchhiker in it, so I had to make some adjustments to the CDs I'm putting in.

The box surely took its sweet time travelling. I almost thought it was lost until a check on the USPS site reassures me.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this box return home to me a couple days ago. I just now realized it's been traveling for over a year -- wow. It may even be the original box I started it with...the BCID# written on the flaps looks like my handwriting. I would normally find that hard to believe, but after almost needing a chisel to cut through all the tape to get it open, it might just be true. :')
There's a nice variety of books in here, and actually only a few that I've already read. I'll be going through & making journal entries for them all & then decide their immediate fate. As always, I've got quite a lot of audios waiting to pass along already, so I'll probably start a new round of the box (a new box -- ha!) soon. Let me know if you'd like to join the next round & if I don't hear from you I'll probably be sending a PM..... Thanks to all who participated in this round. Happy New Year to you all! :')
