**twickster** , let me know what you have left by Friday, and I may take a few of them off your hands then, if you’d like. (Then you don’t even have to pay shipping! :D) ---

**TP** – this list is pretty well gone (except for a couple of novels plus “Edie”) – but it was the tip of the iceberg. I’ve got four boxes of books in the upstairs hall – if you’d like to come over and root through them, I think that would be doable. 😉 ---

oops – sorry – left this screen up while I went to yahoo to check then the cat hit “submit.” **BiblioCat** – you never sent me your IRL address, so I sent whatever it was to the next person to ask for it. Sorry, guess I should have asked again, but I was packing the books up when I realized I didn’t have an address for you. Anyway, sorry about messing with you like that. ---

The last is already taped to my monitor. I’m honored to be the recipient of such powerful mojo, and solemnly promise to remember the source of all the good things that will undoubtedly begin to happen in my life. Thank you. ---
