closed/travelling: Bookrings with a cipher/number/digit one up to and including ten in the title.

My bookrings from authors who's name begin with... are finished. So I came up with this idea.

How it works:
**Please PM me if you want to join**

I will send two books with a cipher/number/digit one up to and including ten in the title, to the first person on the list. That person takes one of those books and replaces that book with an other book with a cipher/number/digit 1 till 10 in the title. Then that person will send those two books to the next person on the list and so on. Please tell on this thread only which book you took out.
You can't put those books with the same cipher in the ring. Example: one book has the cipher 2 and the other one 3. You can't take out the book with cipher 2 if your book is also with a 3. The books that are been send have 2 different ciphers.
So the cipher in the title can be written as a digit or as a word.

The fifth elephant, yes no problem.
The one that goes away, yes no problem.
1984, problem :-) I only allow the ciphers apart
Onesie-time, problem ;-) because one isn't separated but part of the word
2nd: yes no problem
Second: problem don't see the cipher anymore (same goes for first)

The books are a surprise. Do not tell what book you are sending.

EXTRA rule after some debate in previous rings: please only send 2 books to the next participant. You are still allowed to take 2 books and replace them by 2 of your own but only 2.

Note:
These rings won't be open to US BC-members, I always have a lot of trouble find somebody willing to send intl with the high costs. Thank you for understanding

Always fun with you.
I will have to check my bookshelves before I can decide if it is possible to join in though.
Profile Image
oh thank you, hope you find one :)
Profile Image
Ooh, I was hoping you would be doing something else. Think this might be little more difficult but I'm up for the challenge.

Should have said UK posting for me, please? Booked a rather expensive holiday I need to save up for but still want to join in. It's thanks to your bookrings that I actually get around to reading my own books.
Profile Image
you are shipping to dolph1n so you have UK-posting
Profile Image

Yes!

Think this might be little more difficult but I'm up for the challenge.


Not as difficult as I thought. Just looked through my database and I already have 8 books that will fit into this. One has been on my shelf since 2013 so there is another bookcrosser that will be glad you have made me take part in this.
Profile Image
Me please. I prefer UK only posting if possible. Thank you.

Or could it be a word for a number in the title?

Profile Image
OK, I think I can find a book for this, please count me in!
Profile Image
A) 2nd

or

B) Second

I know it's not the same as having 2 or two but it's pretty close. Let me know what you think. :)
Profile Image
With A: 2nd I would say yes but with B: second not so much.

With A you see the cipher and it is about the cipher 2...

This I found very difficult... so I would go with A: yes, B: no, it is the same with first I guess. 1st would do fine but first as word, not so much

Is 5 elephants right? Five elephants right ?
Sorry for being daft but it's not so simple for a non-native speaker (reader) :-)

If yes I can participate.
Profile Image
if the title is "5 elephants" or "five elephants" they both can enter ;-)
so you are in
Profile Image
As a native speaker, I wouldn't use cipher like this, I'd use number or digit. But it's close enough to understand. :)

Cipher in common use is normally a code, which could also be an exciting ring - maybe a future idea for you rodespringbal!
Profile Image
So maybe if I change the cipher into number or digit... more people will participate

I do think so.

Me please

I've searched my stash and found a suitable book.

Thanks!
I found three books with a number in the title.
1 to 9, right?

There are also books with higher numbers but they will have to wait till rodespringbal creates a challenge for them?
Profile Image
1 till 10 this time and yes the other round will go from 11-20 :-)
Profile Image
Great, I'll start looking for a book for that too. :)
Profile Image
I give it just a try! Please, count me in.
Profile Image
I'll try to find a book for this in the local charity shops :-)

So 1st, 2nd, 3rd... 10th; & 1, 2, 3... 10; & one, two, three... ten are ok. No duplicates.

I'm confused by this
The fifth elephant, yes no problem.
...
Second: problem don't see the cipher anymore (same goes for first)
Are first, second, third... tenth ok, or not?

First and second are not ok but third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,... tenth are ok. With first and second you don't see or hear the cipher anymore.

and had me a little confused for a while but then I realised I had completely misunderstood. I thought you were going to do a bookring for one, then a bookring for two etc. So I've read 2 'one' books, 2 'two' books, and i have threes, fours, fives and more. That's why I said I picked up 5 books at the uncon because I thought I needed a book for each number. But I don't ....
Profile Image
no you don't need so much books, but if you will like to start a ring like that: bookring with books that have number one in the title, be my guest ;-)
Profile Image
Thanks but I find bookrings too stressful when they should be simple.
Profile Image
As I accidentally read too many books for this, I've obviously taken both to replace with two of mine.

ETA - Forgot to say which books I'd taken.

One Day in the LIfe of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzheritsyn
Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

I'm taking out The Little One by Lynda La Plante.

The books are now on their way to tanamo.

but I don't know when as I landed up in A&E Mon night due to winter vomiting bug which left me badly dehydrated as I couldn't keep even plain water down. Also my BP was off the scale because I couldn't keep my meds down either. I also had pain in my side and my lower back but couldn't keep painkillers down. They tried to give me some in the ambulance but they came straight back. Once in hospital they wanted urine and blood sample. No problem with the first but as usual with me they couldn't get any of the second item out of me but eventually a doctor hit pay dirt and got a canula in to give me anti sickness drugs and later they got my BP meds in and I came home but have been mostly in bed until today. Had sickness bugs b4 but this one was a doozie and I don't want it again. Anyway I've opened the parcel and have taken out "I am No. 4" by Pittacus Lore and will get the ring on its way when I'm fit to make it to the PO.
Profile Image
That sounds awful, I hope you are well on your way to recovery!
Profile Image
Poor you. I wish you the best.
Profile Image
Thanks for best wishes. Got mega backlog of washing and housework now and still short on energy but getting there. I've written thank you cards for the paramedics and A&E staff and I'm grateful to have quick access to medical care as many others in the world do not have that facility. That's why I sponsor people at Kiva.org
Profile Image
hope you recover quick. Take your time with the parcel please. Your health is important
Profile Image
Thanks for sending Tanamo!
I will need a little time...
Will get round as soon as I can. We have builders I the house for repairs etc.
some essential, some fancy of the landlord.
This means I have to empty some rooms and shift lots of stuff etc.
Unfortunately my books are all in boxes. So I need to delve into them to find a number book. I had some set aside, so just need to hit the right box now.
Yorkshire-lass you might not get the ring before Christmas.
I hope this is not too inconvenient for anyone.
Profile Image
take your time... send them after x-mas, is better for the postmen who have already lots of packages to ship in this period
Profile Image
Not a problem for me, take all the time you need :-)
Profile Image
It going to move again. Thanks everybody for your patience.

Are you sure you want to delete this item? It cannot be undone.
