(I don't think I have any to replace. If I've overlooked something, please let me know ). I wouldn't dare anymore. Last time when I check your wish lists my books were taken immediately. Maybe I should give it another try? We have a new player Katy so must check hers too. I need to replace only but I hope there will be something I like (hint hint) ah already found 3 books I have from Katy's wish list on BC. O by the way 3. Check the internation reverse wish list realy. If you can find a book of my wish list you only have to send into Europe! and you will receive a book of your wish list. eta 4: penelope you hardly have any wish list books? eta5: and fritzy has no books on her wish list at all! eta 6: same for ilio! My Gosh you are lucky girls. not having any wishes! Edited by Marlene, Nov 7 2009, 08:19 AM.

Crazy Foreign Woman Posts: 9,084 Group: Members Member #14 Joined: December 23, 2005	penelope said she would pm fritzy but maybe an email is better. Be my guest! I did put in a wish list book for teachie but she did not even take it. I forgive you though. You know you are obliged to take a wish list book Just before I needed to replace Ilio took it. Maybe you did not even know it was on your wish list? The translator?

Exceedingly Obsessed Posts: 2,658 Group: Members Member #482 Joined: April 9, 2007	Marlene, as I am going away for 3 months I am not taking any books out of any of the boxes, just replacing those that become due. I will start taking books out again when I get back in February. Hopefully my wishlist books will all appear again.

Ok, I PMed fritzykatz and sent her an email but the email I had bounced. Not sure what's going on - usually I can reach her by email. As for the wishlist, I confess I've never really done the BC wish list thing. I just realized I have some on my title page, but should check if it's up to date. I have a wishlist at bookmooch, but usually don't bother with it too much as my wishes change so often. Right now my TBR pile is a bit overwhelming, so I'm trying to step back a little and curb my greed. Of course there are certain authors who might make me rethink that resolution.

I have 2 books to replace and just in case they are needed these are my replacements. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie I capture the castle By Dodie Smith. I am reading the Dodie Smith one at the moment - a great read so far.
