Used Book Exchange Sent/Received

[Kirby]

I thought I would go ahead and start this thread. Just waiting to hear from two people and then I begin to sort through the selections.

[Kirby]

Just needing to hear from one person on their book selections and I can get started on the sorting.

[Kirby]

I've heard from everyone and just finished sorting the books out. I still need to double check everything so my goal is to begin contacting everyone with their names tomorrow.

[Kirby]

Just finished sending all the names out. I'm looking forward to reading the books I get.

[mickeyfan2]

My books are ready to go. I expect to mail them tomorrow.

[Kirby]

Only two more people left to pick up their names, one of them is on a cruise :boat: , so it may be a day or two.

I'm busy with my MIL today. I'll have to wait until Monday to mail my books out.

How do you see if they picked them up? I use to get that option but when we got the new profiles I lost that option. How to I enable it again? Thanks.

[Disneymaddness]

I just mailed my books :cool1: Happy reading!

[mickeyfan2]

Mine went out today.

Look under additional options located under the submit message button before you send a PM. Check the box that reads "Request a read receipt for this message". It used to be automatic before the upgrades. I wish I knew how to make it that way again.

Thank you. I like the automatic way too.

Mine are packed and ready to go out Monday morning early.

I mailed mine off today! I also received Hunting Fear from Colleen today. Thanks!
Glad that it arrived. Enjoy.

[Kirby]

Another book to it's new owner! We should hear of more arrivals soon.

[Meriweather]

Off to the PO this morning.

[Meriweather]

Mine are now on their way :)

[Papa Deuce]

OK, mine are sent... south and SW! Enjoy!

[Kirby]

:cool1: Only two people left to post that they have mailed their books. We should hear about quite a books arriving in the next couple of days.

[Kirby]

Tomorrow's the mail by day! :goodvibes

[Ready to go in Ok]

I got mine in the mail today. Some were first class, some media mail, so I dunno what the arrival time difference will be. I also received Devil in the White City and Lost in the Forest.

Ok, my rant of the day. My debit card doesn't have my full name on it. My last name is even longer than my first name. So, my card reads Stephan **********. My name is just too long to fit on the card. Well the nice little PO lady takes my card and asks for my ID. Apparently I'm not allowed to use the scanner placed on my side of the counter, although it appears functional. No biggie, it happens. I dig my ID and hand it over with a smile. A SMILE. At 9AM. Which is unheard of for me. Then she proceeds to study my ID and my card. And yells, "Who's Stephen? You're not Stephen. Is he your husband?" I explain name too long yada yada yada. More scrutiny of both cards on her part, and I remind her that I signed the back of the debit card, so she can compare signatures if she likes. She flips it over and back at the speed of light and says "Well, I can tell someone signed it. I guess I'll take it this time." Which was a good thing, because since the invention of this wonderous little plastic card that is connected to my checking account, I never have cash nor a checkbook with me.

DH's suggestion for the next time this happens is to tell them that I just haven't gotten it changed since I had my operation. I am soooooo using that. :teeth:

[Kirby]

Stephanie, those two books were from Disneymaddness.

Can't you just scream sometimes?! Your husband came up with a good one! :rotfl:

[Kirby]

I received two books today from dolphinrescuegirl, A Cold Christmas and A is for Alibi. Thanks Kim! Can't wait to read them.

Anyone else?

[snowwhitesmom]

I received The Glass Castle. Thank you!

[Kirby]

Michelle, that was from Disneymaddness.

Just one person left to post mailing their books.

[Kirby]

I received The Third Secret from atlnewf today. Thank you Ashley!

Anybody else?

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I got Guilty as Sin from Kirby Thursday. Thanks!

[Kirby]

I got Guilty as Sin from Kirby Thursday. Thanks!
I purchased that book from our local second hand shop and then realized I had already read it once I got into it. Enjoy!

[Kirby]

We should hear of quite a few books arriving any day now.

[atlnewf]

I got Final Scream and All I Desire from Michelle today. Thanks!

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I received Oceans of Fire and the Frog Prince today from Ashley. Thanks!

[Kirby]

Whoo hoo! Four books arrived in the mail today! Any more?

[snowwhitesmom]

I received Petals on the River today. Thanks, Krby!

[mickeyfan2]

I got "Blood Test" today from Kim (dolphinrescuegirl). I look forward to reading this book.

[Kirby]

I received Petals on the River today. Thanks, Krby!
Your welcome! It was another book that I purchased from the local thrift store. The jury's still out on whether or not I had read it before. The story seemed familar when I read it but I couldn't decide if I had or not. :rotfl: I enjoyed it anyway, whether or not it was for the second time!

I also received Night Embrace from you. Thanks Michelle!

And I also received two books from meriweather, Daddy and The Face. Thank you Nancy! Also for the book marks, hot chocolate and chocolate candy. I'm glad that it's not hot yet. The candy somehow unwrapped itself in the package. Is there something weird about these books that you haven't told me? They look like they tried to eat the candy! :laughing:

[Meriweather]

Whoa....that is weird.
I wonder how that happened :confused:
Glad the books arrived. Enjoy! It didn't take them very long either :)

[Ready to go in Ok]

I am out of town for the week, and DH tells me that some books have come in, but he couldn't remember the names. I will post when I get home next week.

[Kirby]

We are looking forward to hearing what you have received Stephanie!

Anyone else?

[atlnewf]

Today's a book day! I got Running with Scissors from Stephanie, Dagger Magic from Kirby, Isle of Dogs and Cause of Death from dolphinrescuegirl.

Thanks ladies!

Ashley

[Disneymaddness]

I received 3 books today!:cool1: I received Secret Prey, Evening Class and Lifeguard. Thank you Michelle, Susan and Nancy (thanks also for the treats, especially the bookmarks.. the corner one is cool). Can't wait to start reading.:goodvibes

[Papa Deuce]

Letting y'all know that I got both books today... "Cell" from Kirby, and "Missing Heir" from atlnewf... which I hope my mom will enjoy. Thanks all!

[snowwhitesmom]

Received the Maya Angelou book today - thanks!

[Meriweather]

I received 3 books today!:cool1: I received Secret Prey, Evening Class and Lifeguard. Thank you Michelle, Susan and Nancy (thanks also for the treats, especially the bookmarks.. the corner one is cool). Can't wait to start reading.:goodvibes

Glad it arrived. I hope your candy was still wrapped ;)
Enjoy!!

I received my 3 books today ....all from atlnewf, Ashley.
London Bridges
Bones Buried Deep
Sweet Revenge
Thank you so much. They are standing by.

Thanks for hosting, Kirby. Can't wait for the next one. I already have a pile of books ready to go.

[Kirby]

Yesterday was a book day! Maybe today will be also. We have 21 books left to arrive and one participant yet to say she's mailed. Hopefully soon!

"Cell" from Kirby
Though I haven't read a lot of Stephen King, the idea that this book has intrigued me so I picked it up. Scary thought, but then I don't always answer my cell phone just because it rings.


Evening Class
I really did enjoy this book. It ended much too quickly for me.



Dagger Magic from Kirby
This book was different. I picked it up at the Dollar Store. Sort of wished I had read some of the previous books to know more about the main characters.



Thanks for hosting, Kirby. Can't wait for the next one. I already have a pile of books ready to go.
You're welcome! I've already started on my next group to submit. I went to the thrift store yesterday and brought home 10 books all for .25 each. What a deal! I have about 30 books now that I need to read. Some of them will be in the next book exchange. Look for it about August.

[atlnewf]

I got "Hot Dogs" and "Swing" from P. Deuce today. Thanks!

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I received 3 books today. I got the Awakening from Michelle and from Stephanie I received Good Grief and We Were Always Free. Thanks ladies!

Will you please PM me when you do the next exchange as I don't normally come to the Exchange Board. Thanks!

[Kirby]

I got "Hot Dogs" and "Swing" from P. Deuce today.
Hmmm, Hot Dogs????? That one wasn't on the list. And Swing was supposed to go to someone else. You were supposed to get Final Justice from Papa Deuce.


Will you please PM me when you do the next exchange as I don't normally come to the Exchange Board. Thanks!
I've got it written down.

[Papa Deuce]

Hmmm, Hot Dogs????? That one wasn't on the list. And Swing was supposed to go to someone else. You were supposed to get Final Justice from Papa Deuce.



I've got it written down.


I am so sorry if I screwed up... it was one busy week at home....

[Kirby]

I am so sorry if I screwed up... it was one busy week at home....

An extra book is always a nice surprise. :goodvibes Maybe once we hear from Ready to go in OK ( I'm assuming you mailed Final Justice to her), they can trade.

[atlnewf]

heh. Hot Dogs is a cute book. I'll swap with the other person if she wants or it can stay like it is. I'm easy. :)

[Kirby]

Only 16 books left to report arriving! :goodvibes I'm sure that once Ready to go in OK gets home she will knock a dent in the list. Still need to hear from that one person if she has mailed her books. :worried:

[Kirby]

Any books arrive today?

[atlnewf]

I received two today. I got "The Birth of Venus" from Stephanie, and "Engaging the Enemy" from someone in New Orleans. Thanks everyone!

Ashley

[snowwhitesmom]

I received Passporter 2006, and two books from New Orleans today! Thanks!

[Kirby]

"Engaging the Enemy" from someone in New Orleans.
Well, I'm glad you got something. You were supposed to get Midnight Bayou. :confused3 Well, at least you got something. It was from mcdee1980.


two books from New Orleans today
That was from from mcdee1980 also. What books did you receive?

[Kirby]

Just checking in. Any books received today?

[mickeyfan2]

I got "Devine Evil" from Kirby. Thank you.

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I received Rain Storm from New Orleans. Thanks!

[Ready to go in Ok]

Ok, I made it home to 6 books!

DH is nosey and had opened them all, so I have no idea who they are from. Hopefully Kirby can help me out with that. I got:

Final Justice
North of Hope
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
Confessions of a Shopaholic
The Nanny Diaries
Tunnel Vision

Thanks everyone!

[Kirby]

I received Rain Storm from New Orleans
That was from mcdee1980.

Hopefully Kirby can help me out with that.
:thumbsup2
Final Justice - Papa Deuce
North of Hope - snowwhitesmom
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood - dolphinrescuegirl
Confessions of a Shopaholic - atlnewf
The Nanny Diaries - atlnewf
Tunnel Vision - dolphinrescuegirl


OK, it looks like almost all the books have arrived at their destinations. We just need to hear from snowwhitesmom about her last two and then from mcdee1980 that she has received her books. Then we will be done! :goodvibes

[Ready to go in Ok]

heh. Hot Dogs is a cute book. I'll swap with the other person if she wants or it can stay like it is. I'm easy. :)

I am ok with leaving it like it is. I am still angry over my post office visit, so I'm not wanting to go back any time soon. ;)

Let me know if you decide to swap though, and I will send DH to the post office. His name is short and fits on his card. :thumbsup2

Oh, and no biggie Pappa D. I even read the back of cereal boxes, so I will read just about anything, and I already finished one of my exchange books. I was one of the last to submit my list because I couldn't decide. They all sounded good.

[Ready to go in Ok]

I received 3 books today. I got the Awakening from Michelle and from Stephanie I received Good Grief and We Were Always Free. Thanks ladies!

Will you please PM me when you do the next exchange as I don't normally come to the Exchange Board. Thanks!

I actually got We Were Always Free in the last used book exchange. I read it, and a couple of my co-workers read it as well. It is a well loved book, and I hope you enjoy!

[atlnewf]

No worries here then. If it's not exactly what I'd normally read, that's not a big deal. Means I step out of my comfort zone and read something different.:cheer2: :upsidedow

[Kirby]

I just received word that snowwhitesmom received her last two books. :cool1: I haven't heard from mcdee1980 but since everyone elses books have arrived and she hasn't said anything, I am going to assume that she has received her books.

I call this exchange officially over. Thanks everyone for following through! Look for another one next August/September. That should give everyone time to read. :goodvibes

[Meriweather]

Thanks for hosting, Susan. That was a lot of fun. I will definitely be watching for the next one ::yes::
