I'll have a hard time hiding this book from myself. :giggle:

The sender says "Godfrey", but I guess I don't know who it is... :shrug:

Well, putting it away until June...

As you know I've sent mine :)

Mine is on its way to you, too! I had to send it slow mail 'cause it's quite heavy :wink: But it's got ballyswapper marked on it several times, so I'm sure you'll know it when it arrives.

Many books coming my way! I feel soooo important. :bananadance:

One more arrived this week, from "P. Dickinson". Thanks! :wink:

That's me :D

I will be sending your book out tomorrow along with another book I owe you.

I sent mine as well. It's coming from the US in a priority mail envelope. You'll have to look at the customs form, where the "contents" are listed as "Ballyswapper used book" or something like that.

This got here yesterday, along with another one from the UK. I can't read the sender's first name because it's a little blurred, but the last name is "Bennet".

Thank you, people! I'm so excited! :bananacheer:

camis!

:bananadance:

Two more packages: one from Milan and one from Rebecca!

Thanks guys! :dance:

finally! :phew:

Someone's been really mean to me now... I came to work and there it was: a package with 8 (!) books for the exchange!!! :omg:

Bad GateGypsy! :whip:

Now I'm even more eager than I was when receiving the first package quite some time before the opening day.

Is it June already? :giggle:

Opening day!!! :bananadance:

The first book that arrived was Water for Elephants



I've been wanting to read this book for quite a long time! :)

Sunlightbub sent me The Memory Keeper's Daughter



I was really hoping someone sent me this so I could take part on the readalong! Thanks a bunch!!! :dance:

She also sent me some BC stickers, they are great!

From msjoanna, The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory



I've heard a lot about this book. So glad to finally have it!

From camis, Not Married, Not Bothered by Carol Clewlow



Great, chic-lit! :giggle:

Now you must take part in the readthrough!!

Nice books!

zzz sent me The Reader by Bernhard Schlink



I can't wait to start this one!

Loved the card, it was a very special one. :)

From rebeccaljames I got The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas



Wow, a classic! Thanks. :)

I'm glad you like it :)
But there should be something else along with the card which will solve certain mystery here :whistle:

And last, but not least, from GateGypsy:



All the "Chronicles of Narnia" :o

and



Which had been on my wishlist for quite some time!

You guys were great, thank you very much!!!

Now I'm intrigued!

And one more thing: Do keep those stamps, soon they'll have huge value. People already are paying fortune to get them (here and from abroad) :wink:

I really hope mine arrives soon :erm:

Hahahahaha!!! You're totally right!

There is also a BC label for a book with the card. Following the BCID on the label registered by ZZZ, we get to "Water for Elephants", the first book I opened.

It seems that I know this certain "Godfrey" after all!!! :rofl:

That was fun!

Stella, my book to you is going to be late. I still haven't gotten Shipping Confirmation from the store. :rant:

I'm sorry :erm:

Indeed you do know :lol:

You must have had so much fun opening all your parcels! I'm sorry that Hobbit and I both loved The Chronicles of Narnia well enough to ship ALL of them to you :giggle: Now you have two sets. I hope you find a good use for the spare :wink:

I don't wanna be pain in the ass but can you please update first post with the list who has sent what. It will be much easier for me to track parcels. You don't have to of course but it would be very helpful :rolleyes:

Don't worry. I had so much fun opening the ones that already got here that I am excited to know there are still some more on the way. :)

Yes, you too were amazing!!!

I have a couple of friends who are interested in reading them, so I guess I'll do a bookring among them. Who knows if they get interested in joining BC after that?

You're not being a pain... :wink:

I updated from whom I received parcels. Do you want me to put the title(s) as well? Bear with me, don't forget I'm a newbie at monthly exchanges... :blush:

OK cool! As soon as they e-mail me with confirmation, I'll let you know so you can expect the package. :)

And don't feel too bad, Lemmy... it's technically not late until the month is over, and even then, we don't really worry about it so long as you're checking in and keeping us up-to-date and mailing out packages even if they are a little late.

Titles are always nice. I can't read the titles on some of the pictures. :blush:

:ditto:

Stell, I haven't forgotten you, I promise. I'll have something en route to you very shortly.

It went in the mail yesterday. :wave:
