At first I didn't notice any restriction about opening but I saw lmn60 of Australia is the sender (as she wrote vengeance seeker!) and I thought she is sending me my July BallySwapper Book. But then lmn60 is not in BallySwapper group :huh: and I was about to ask her does she not send me Indecisive October book in May (via Airmail!!! <_<) and then I saw first line of the address: "October Indecisive" :blink: :o
So it seems I have to pass the torch... :whip:

:blink: indeed!
(I posted in your thread as well!) What a group we are! everyone deserves good :whip:

I'm really impressed with how organised everyone is!

Organized? Nay... we are just :evil: and in vengeance provoking/seeking mood :whistle:

Now don't you go trawling here for sympathy, zzz! :whistle:

You've done it to me twice - after all! :ph34r:

How could I resist a little payback??? :giggle:

And I'm usually SUCH nice person too!!!! :shedevil:

LOL @ Lynn! :giggle:

zzz I mailed out your package yesterday. :grin:

Also mailed out Geisha's for November. :wink:

Thought I wouldn't see that, eh? :lol: Naughty girl...

:whistle: :giggle:

Let's see I got mine (December) 7/30/07 and I did send Redhot-brat's January book last week. Hahaha :lol:

I received today book from geisha. Thank you T. :)

Finally sent mine todat...better late then never :D!

Thank you T :)

Cheesy your book has just arrived. Thank you :)

um Cheesy I just noticed Custom Declaration and either you switched only declarations or you have switched entire parcels. Namely on my Custom Declaration is geisha as addressee :erm:
(if it helps I'd say it's hardcover inside)

That's where her Custom Declaration went. I had to fill out another one for Geisha since her's went missing. :blush: :giggle: It should be your book. I sent both of you a hardback. :wacko:

It was very strangely sticked on the back side of the parcel and actually it has been pasted with the side where address was. That's why it raised my attention so I checked what it is :rolleyes:

There's no indication about Indecisive but I think I received book from Zosime.

ETA:
OK I realized I could check the address. Thank you zosime :)

Folks thank you SOOOOOO much! I opened parcels and books are amazing!!!
Will post about titles later because my mom is here visiting me (yesterday we were on some wedding). Thank you :wub:

Post! Post! Post! :giggle:

lmn - arrived May 29th
Remembering Babylon by David Malouf

Book that was definitively wort of waiting more than 4 moths to open. Another beautiful introduction of Australian Literature from my dear Aussie tormentor! I love books listed for Booker (and winners of IPAC Dublin Award!).
Thank you so much :flowers:

geishabird - arrived Sep 24th
The Secret River by Kate Grenville

Lovely Wish List book and I see we,"book snobs" :lol: have the same taste in books. But my dear I wouldn't mind if you read book before sending. Of course when I finish with it I'll send you; it will not be for your November month (it will be too early and I already reading book I'm aiming to send you) but I'll do my best to not keep you waiting too long :)
I don't see BCID... will you register it and give me the #?
Thank you so much :flowers:

Cheesy - arrived Sep 25th
Peony in Love by Lisa See

Wish List book I've heard lots of good things about. And Indeed cheesy you didn't switch parcels but only Custom Declarations ... but even if you did I'm SO glad :lol:
Thank you so much :flowers:

zosime - arrived Sep 27th
She Plays With the Darkness by Zakes Mda

Mda is one of my most intriguing authors. I like that mixture of traditional South African folklore and modern life in his work. After reading synopsis for this novel I immediately added it on my wish list. It was an excellent choice zosime
Thank you so much :flowers:

I told you that the books are AMAZING!!! :w00t2:

I'm SO glad you like your book, Milan! :D

And you're tooooo gracious about my evil tormenting games! :shedevil:

Lynn book looks fabulous indeed. To be honest I'm not sure how did I miss it to add on WL since it seems it's precisely what I like to read (historical fiction + native culture + Booker (OK I'm snob))

:cool:
I hope we'll be again in the same book group :rolleyes:

I think you'll really like it, Milan. It's a damn fine one - I have an AUTOGRAPHED copy on my real life bookshelf! :cool2:

OK time for me to fall into bed and let you Northern Hemisphere types get on with the business of swapping and relaying and exchanging!

:kiss:

From now on, I'm just going to follow zzz around the board and add anything he gets to my wishlist. Book snobs unite. :wink:

Seriously, these look like terrific books.

I haven't sent mine yet :whip:

but I will this week!

I'm glad you liked it. She writes great. :hug:

Aw, that's not necessary Milan...go ahead and enjoy it at your leisure. And go ahead and register it yourself. I hope you like it. :kiss:

Three - arrived Oct 2nd
Where the Boys Are by William J. Mann

From three came spicy wish list book :) This author has been recommended to me to expand my literary horizons on genres that might be considered as taboo. (by the way when i look author's photo I'd never even thought he might be a writer! :lol: Would you three?)
Knowing this will never be translated and published here (or at least not in next few decades) I'm so happy you chose this book for my Indecisive month!
Thank you so much :flowers:

darkpunkangel - arrived Oct 2nd
The Bolivian Diary - authorized edition by Ernesto Che Guevara



Another Wish list book and another great pick! I have huge respect toward great Che and Cuban Revolution so I'm very interested in everything related with that. Therefore this Che's famous last diary will be a pearl in my permanent collection. And special thanks for picking this new (and undoubtedly best) edition of the diary!
Thank you so much :flowers:

WOW! this IS huge compliment! Thank you!
I like that Book snobs unite! :lol:
Indeed all books are amazing and look at that great diversity! :yahoo:

Oh no worries dear ... unless you like whippin' :whistle:

I'm sure I will enjoy. But you can freely mark it as PENDING :) (of course unless you're in hurry to get it from somewhere). I have to stress that I'm not fast reader; on the contrary I'm very slow (and even slower when I don't read in my mother tongue)... but I'm reaching end of the book eventually :lol:

I do believe you (and everyone else). However I didn't read her Snow Flower... (it's on my tbr pile)

Actually just yesterday I received a book ring that's to go to you next so your Indecisive book is going to have to wait until that one is done (I *think* I can fit them both in a Priority flat rate envelope - I'll test that tonight)
