:whee:

The good news is that the first package for July has arrived at my place! The bad news is that it was opened and books were missing. :cry:

Sunlightbub and Giz know what happened. One book did make it here, and just because I know what that book is doesn't mean I'll tell you guys :evil: You'll just have to suffer until July 1st! Mwaaahaha!! :giggle:

SO disappointed lemony :(

:o Oh Fo, I can't believe it!
What now? I mean who is responsible for that?
Also maybe you could tell me which title has arrived in case someone want to send missing one... or?

I'll pm you in a bit so you will know which book it is.

Aside from that there really isn't anything we can do. There's no way of finding out when the package was opened. Usually the postoffice here will put a damaged package in a plastic bag and seal it (postal body bags!) but this was not the case.

Oh well. Nobody's fault. :)

I'm OK, I just feel sad because Sunny and Giz paid and sent books and it's not nice that they never arrived. :no:

Bad... whoever opened it!

... do you think they're the kind of people who enjoy whippings? I don't want to reward them...

:angry:

:pat:

yeah, me too, but that's OK Giz! At least there was 1 in the envelope so it's not a total loss. And it's a GREAT book so :w00t:

hm! They probably DO enjoy whippings... well, they're not getting any from me. It's enough that they have our books, we will not reward them with enjoyable actions.

:lol:

Alright! Which one of you is the sneaky one this time?

I received a book this morning marked "Ballyswapper Book, Do NOT Peek" and it is from Bonnie Darienzo in Vancouver Canada.

Thank you whoever you are. :wub:

...and now to go hide it so it doesn't tempt me for 2 months! :giggle:

:angry:

:pat:

Did Sunny or Giz register the books on bookcrossing? Maybe you'll get a journal entry! :rofl:

Yep they were all registered

I mailed your package yesterday. It's marked Ballyswapper Exchange on the customs form and the envelope.

It arrived this morning! :bounce:

Thank you msjoanna!

Can you please update first post with the list who has sent what when you open your parcels? It will be much easier for me to track what has arrived and what is in transit. You don't have to of course but it would be very helpful :rolleyes:

Absolutely my darling!

I already have a list of arrivals in the first post, last updated May 23! :giggle:

:yahoo: a package arrived this morning!!! It says Julie, so it's from Camis, right?

:kiss:

on to my pile it goes!

I'm so glad you posted this...I was just trying to sort out what I need to send and couldn't for the life of me remember if I'd sent a book to you or not!

I know how that feels, I've been feeling it these past couple of weeks!

comment4,

:unsure:

I think I missed something...

:shrug:

:whee:

an envelope from Rebecca arrived today!

Thank you! :D

:party:

They look like good books!

Mine will be coming later in the month. I actually just emailed Milan about it. :D

:spin:

I am very excited by them! They are all different from each other so it's fantastic!!!

Cool about yours, especially since I stole Temeraire in the SFF swap. It'll be cheaper to send everything together (I think :shrug: ) but however is good for you is super with me!

So!

Lucinda, Darkly is from Giz and Sunlightbub. They joined forces to send me some stuff (story is all in post #1) and this lovely book made it and I'm happy!

No Humans Involved came in care of zzz, who was my mystery sender because I know his name is not Bonnie and he's not a girl and he doesn't live in BC :lol:

The Brief History of the Dead is from MsJoanna. This sounds very interesting and I think I'm going to get into it real soon. I didn't know this author, and I am happy to get something 'new' for me!

Bitterwood was sent by Rebecca, and it's great because I saw this in a SFF swap and got really jealous of the person who stole it out! It looked fantastic.

Circus of the Darned is from Camis. I want all the teen stuff by Katie MacAlister writing as Katie Maxwell so this is going straight on to my 'show-off' shelf in my room.

Thank you everyone. Sorry I opened everything a little late. Today is Canada Day and I have been in and out of the house (same for the internet) so I wasn't sitting around long enough. About an hour ago I finally had all the time to myself and I ripped into the packages with gusto! :giggle:

There is another parcel on it's way from The Book Depostitory for you :)

Oh cool! :wub:

I got one from there this morning, but it's for my August JOE Gal exchange :)

sunny is it the same as the lost one?

So true :rolleyes:
I hope you'll like the book (I'm totally not familiar with the genre so it was kind of "hunting in a fog" as we say here)

Yes :)

Oh I will most definitely like the book! I adore this whole series, and am very happy to have a copy of this one. Right now I am keeping them for my private collection!!

Lemmy m'dear, I mailed your book out today. Sorry for the delay, and I hope you like it!

no problem, sweetie! All is super cool! :hug:

arrived this afternoon from Sunlightbub and Giz. I have to :whip: them, because there was no need to resend, but I also have to :hug: them because I :wub: the books so very much!

Thank you very much girls. And they arrived on the perfect day, I needed a great pick-me-up and this was it!

I've got your books! I will send them! My vacation sucked up all my mailing budget, so I have to wait 'til next Friday, but I promise you'll like what I got! Sorry for the delay.

no problemo :)

I hope you had a SUPER vacation! :hug:

Hi. I ordered your book via Amazon.ca. You should get it later this week - I hope! :)

Very cool! merci!

I received just one item in the mail this morning, but what an item!!

the lovely geishabird sent me:



Thank you thank you!!! :hug:
