I've had three parcels arrive already.

I know one is from zzz ('cos he admitted to being a torturer!),

another (big one!) from chronicbooker3

and a third, mysterious parcel, from S Higgins in Eccles - anyone want to fess up??????

That is from me! I ordered it through BookMooch and they were kind enough to ship it directly to you. I will mark it as received now. Glad that it arrived so quickly!

Great :bananadance: Im so glad it arrived :waves: I was really afraid that it would be late seeing that I had to send it surface. Hope you enjoy :hug:

And mine hasn't got there yet? I sent it ages ago *pouts*

I mailed your package yesterday! :)

My book to you was shipped from Jacaranda on March 6th. I hope it arrives soon!

Two more parcels have arrived..... a lovely surprise when I got home from a union meeting that went for over two hours (come the revolution.....!).

One from krin511 and Melinda010100 's parcel has arrived from Jacaranda.

Thanks!!!! :kiss:

Mine better arrive soon......

OK gang... sorry about the opening delay - had an interesting few days... but enough about me!

To the books!!! (I'm afraid I'm too much of a luddite to know how to do the fancy putting the pictures up thingy on here -so you'll just have to make do with words!)

First from zzz (evil tempting thing that he is!)

Dictionary of the Khazars: A lexicon novel by Milorad Pavic

This one looks really interesting, Milan. I agree challenging from the blurb - but also intriguing! I LOVE your journal entry for this one, too! Thanks so much!



Next from wss4...

A Song for Lya by George R.R. Martin This one has been on my wishlist for ages! I really like the 'Ice and Fire' series by him (intelligent sci fi) and have been wanting to read more of his works! Ta muchly, Wendy!



Now for Melinda010100's contribution...

Silk by Alessandro Barico. Another wishlist book! I feel so blessed! Thanks, Melinda!



And a very big parcel from chronicbooker.... TWO wishlist books!

A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry AND Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon by Craig Fass

You're too generous Shelley - not that I'm complaining, mind you!



And finally for today....

From krin511... ANOTHER wishlist book!

The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer Another book I had heard of.... but never seriously thought to acquire! Thanks, Karen!




So... that's all the news on my Inklings books for now! More as the others arrive!

I do want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, though. I've actually been having a rough couple of weeks (too complex to go into now!); and you've all helped place a smile back on my dial!



:kiss:

(((lmn60)))

I hope that things get to looking up for you.

Glad that you enjoyed your books. It is always fun when opening day arrives. ;)

Glad you liked the books. I love seeing what everyone sent. :hug: Hugs from Canada via England (at the moment). Take a break from your stress and relax with a good book.

And I hope my offering decides to arrive soon lmn :kiss: :kiss:

I'm glad my book arrived safely and that you like it! :hug: :D

Just wondering if you have opened anymore books yet :waves: I love seeing what others mailed

I'd love to be opening some more books.... but none have arrived yet! :cry:

I suspect the long Easter break has meant that Australia Post is even more inefficient than usual... :whistle:

I'll jump on here and let you all know as soon as any other parcels arrive in my letter box... promise! :wink:

If mine doesn't arrive soon I will have to write it off and send another :erm:

Stress-eth not-eth, giz!

It's only mid-April after all... and it's not as if I don't have the towering heights of Mt TBR to amuse me!

:giggle:

Mine is en route, hopefully it arrives before the end of April! :whistle:

And guess what was in my letter box when I got home today????

Bard: The Odyssey of the Irish by Morgan LLywelyn.

I've read some other Llewelyn books in the past, Tribefan, and enjoyed them. So... thanks!

OK I think mine may have gone walkabout...... I will wait another week then send something else :kiss:

Another Inkling book arrived today!

Breeze144 has sent me 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' by Maya Angelou!

Thanks heaps, Bree. Another wishlist book for me! :bananadance:

Giz! Your book arrived today! Thank you so much for 'The Highest Tide' by Jim Lynch. This one is ANOTHER wishlist book - and I'm delighted. It looks like a really great read!

:D :D :D I am so happy! Glad you like it L - even MORE glad it finally showed up it's taken MONTHS to arrive and I was just about to sort out something else to send you!

Mine was mailed earlier this week, so expect a little something in your mailbox quite soon as airmail was fairly cheap this time !

....And it arrived safely today, Karine!

Thank you soooo much for my copy of 'The Fortress of Solitude' by Jonathan Lethem - another wishlist book!

And my final two Inkling books arrived today!!!

Thanks MissBagpuss for Papillon/Banco by Henri Charriere. I read these two books many years ago - and look forward to checking them out again before sharing this one onwards....

And more thanks to Pyan for The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields. I'm definitely a fan of Carol Shield's writing - so look forward to reading this one!


Thanks again to all my Inklings book sharers!
