Your inkling package will be mailed this week from buffalo :D but no peeing until March

I ordered your book this week, and put Inklings in the address- so be on the lookout!

That could be painful chronic

LMAO -- That is asking a lot for a book.

I'm waiting her reply about the book I'm aiming to send you ...

Got two packages in the mail today.

One from chronicbooker and one from Betterworld.com (is this yours Melinda?)

Oops I ment peeking :blink: you can pee before march :wink:

Yep- that one is from me, Wendy!

Chronic, she probably wasn't following your instuctions anyway, so don't feel bad! :D

Got another package today from Minneapolis, MN marked Inkling. Anyone want to claim it. :lol:

Got another package today and while it was not marked Inklings, I did not recognize the return sender so did a little research and found that it was from Krin511 so I am assuming it is an Inkling package.

Oooooh look just a few more days to go!

Yep - it's an Inkling package from me. I forgot to write "Inklings" on it. :rolleyes:

Well I am happy to report that I did not peek. I never did like knowing what my present was until Christmas day and then I like to open them nice and slow. :lol:

Hey Wendy, I haven't sent your book yet....mainly because I haven't heard back from MissBagpuss yet! Does anyone know if she's been around? I've sent 2 PMs without a response!!!

Someone said she is in Cuba. Maybe zzz is taking over for her right now, so try him. :peek:

Ah ha! Thanks for the tip....PMed him....

Cuba? Cuba? :cry:

I wanna go back there RIGHT NOW :drool: - especially as the weekend's nearly over, here in Oz!

Er... wss4, I was a bit concerned that your book hadn't arrived by now, as I sent it off several weeks ago, so went back to check my receipt from the post office....

Looks like I had a major blonde senior moment, and it's coming to you surface! :blush: :dunce:

Hopefully it will arrive by the end of March :unsure:

By the way, zzz hasn't been on for a week - I just sent him a text message to see if he's ok.....

No problem at all. I have had those moments more than I like to admit. :lol:

I do hope that everything is okay with our wonderful zzz!

He's fine, he's not in Belgrade this week and is studying for an exam - he says he'll be back next week.

Thanks for worrying about me :)

I did get a package in the mail today from MissBP marked Inklings!

Inside I found



Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

Another fabulous DiscWorld Book! I swear I am going to start reading this series soon. I have a wonderful collection of them now!!!

&



Mr. Clarinet by Nick Stone

which looks absolutely fabulous. Just look at the beginning of this review--
"One of the real thrills of book reviewing is stumbling across a masterwork, and this debut by the enigmatic Nick Stone is just such a book. Like the exotic work of John Burdett and his inside view of Bangkok; Nick Stone focus’s his mystery in the dark and mysterious world of Haiti. Mr Clarinet however will do little for Haiti’s tourism board, but will certainly do a great deal for Mr Stone’s career as a thriller novelist. This is one of the best debuts I have read over the last decade, and I read a lot. "

Thanks so much MissBP. Fabulous books!!!

Okay Wendy, I'm finally mailing your package today! I'm sorry it will be so late!

Bad Breeze :whip:

It is fun getting them all month long.

I got another package while I was on vacation from Tribefan --

Horror High books 1, 2 & 3

Mr. Popularity, Resolved: You're Dead and Heartbreaker :bananadance: :bananadance:

I finally mailed out your book last week -- I hope you like it. Should be arriving soon I would think.

I've got to get caught up. Just working on April now. I'm bad. :blush:

Eh, we all get behind. I know my to be mailed box of books is quite full at the moment. :blush:

It arrived today :bananadance: Looks like some excellent SS too!!


Different cover but you get the picture!

From the Publisher
It is almost unthinkable that a single maniac would murder two women miles apart on the same day. Yet someone followed Carol Garner home from the train station and strangled her to death in front of her three-year-old son. And, afterwards, Ruth Murray died in a similar manner. The evidence is leading Detective Inspector Tom Thorne to a stunning conclusion: there isn't only one serial killer on the prowl, but a pair of them, working in tandem. And any corpse that turns up in the future just might be accompanied by a second. To stop them both, Thorne must catch a man whose need to manipulate is as great as his need to kill; a man who will threaten those closest to Thorne himself; a man who will show him that the ability to inspire terror is the deadliest weapon of all.

Boy this is fun!!

Got another in today's mail



Time and Again
by Jack Finney

From the Publisher
"Sleep. And when you awake everything you know of the twentieth century will be gone from your mind. Tonight is January 21, 1882. There are no such things as automobiles, no planes, computers, television. 'Nuclear' appears in no dictionary. You have never heard the name Richard Nixon."
Did illustrator Si Morley really step out of his twentieth-century apartment one night -- right into the winter of 1882? The U.S. Government believed it, especially when Si returned with a portfolio of brand-new sketches and tintype photos of a world that no longer existed -- or did it?

~~~

Sounds awesome and comes highly recommended by Breeze!! Can't wait to read it. Thank you!!!!

I hope you enjoy! I really loved it...and pictures in a novel seemed so unusual but they really added to the story!

And I'm STILL mortified that my book to you hasn't arrived yet... :blush:

^&*((^% Australia Post :rant: It'll probably get to you by September :blink:

:lol:

No worries. I have a few books to read until it arrives. :wink:
