I’m still in! My next book (or 2) will be in the mail hopefully on Monday. ---

Count me still in. I thought I had sent enough for the whole year, but if I didn’t please let me know by email and the rest will be forthcoming. I can spring for a couple of Dr. Suess books as well. ---

We are still in, too. I sent books before Christmas, which I think takes us to April. If not, email me. Also, can you use a gently-used copy of the Suess book? ---

Gently used copies are fine. And if any of you know you sent enough books for the year, then don’t worry about sending more. I have every kid with a box of their own and I pull book sfrom that box each month. On the off months I have had to use a book for another child I replace it with another one from my stash. Thanks again! ---

Aries28, I will send money for books, as I just got out of the hospital and am physically unable to go out and get more; I still have your name and address. IANABF, but I want to help. ---

I’m still in, though running a bit behind this new year due to other commitments. I will be swinging through the book store next Monday (a week from today) and hope to have the books in the mail on Tuesday. I know that’s getting late for January, but I will send: 4 books (one each for January through April) plus a hard copy of the Dr. Seuss one. Just to remind, my kid is Levarr. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/book-fairies-want-to-keep-your-kid-or-do-you-need-to-drop-out/223460.md?page=1)
