Kelly, Typically, when your time expires, the book automatically is returned to the validation list. It may be picked up by someone else there. It appears to have happened to you. If the person who picked up the book sees your message on this list, there is a chance that it will be returned and you will have another chance to pick it up again. But not all volunteers subscribe to this list and you may not be able to have it back if the volunteer completes the validation prior to uploading. Hope this helps.

I think I may have lost my hold on "Return to the City of white Donkeys". I'll keep working on it and so what happens. :) Kelly C
