My Hall of Shame
The following people are not allowed to join any rays or rings I host because they have current ones that stalled with them and did not respond to PMs or ISOs. (I had hoped to never make a list like this) :(
* orangecomo -
High Fidelity bookring , no contact from PMs, ISOs or journal entries. Still active on bookcrossing - shame on you!
* Starbrightxx -
The Mermaid's Purse loan - never journaled it and disappeared. This is sad because a friend wrote this book and it's out of print. I trusted this person and loaned it to them. Shame on me, eh?
