Mine are in the mail to **Hodge**. I had to send two. (The post office has these video-sized envelopes, see, and two paperbacks fit perfectly!) One is new and the other is used. (I went out and bought a new copy of one I intended to send, but it was bigger than a paperback and I couldn’t have fit two in that envelope, so I had to send my old copy. That isn’t just grunge on the pages, it’s _author-appreciation_ grunge!) Here’s hoping they’re something new for you. (I think either one is worth re-reading anyway.) And thanks again to **Cranky** for setting this up! ---

I figured out the perfect book for my person the other day and ordered it on Amazon. Plus a copy for myself (I originally got it out of the library). Plus a copy for a friend of mine who I periodically like to swap cool books and CDs with. So I’m thinking I’ll be mailing middle of next week some time. ---

Mailed mine off a couple days ago. Woo, books! ---

I didn’t realize the person we got is also getting us!\* Well, **bristlesage** sorry for not emailing you. Look for your book next week! \*The grammatical intricacies of this sentence perplex even me. ---

I should mention that I had a late request for participation which I could not fulfill. If one of you is so swap-happy that you’d want to swap with yet another person, let me know. I haven’t sent anything yet. Working on it. ---

I’ll be sending my books out Monday or Tuesday. I’m sure this late-comer will be swamped with book swapees, but I’ll happily send out stuff to those that need literary oddities ---

**rjk** , I just got your books in the mail yesterday. Good picks! I’ve never read any Lawrence Block or Cordwainer Smith but I’ve seen good things posted about them on this board. I just put mine in the mail yesterday, so hopefully you’ll get it before the weekend. ---

I got my books from bibliocat a few days ago… I got 4 books!!! I’m excited about all of them and started reading “The Alienist” last night. Thanks Bibliocat!!! Oh and thanks Cranky too!!! ---

Glad to hear you got them, **Hodge**! I didn’t get your package yet, but this week, I’m sure. Those are two of my favourite authors. Block is well-known, but Smith is unfairly neglected. ---

I got it! **Berlin Noir** , a compilation of three novels by Philip Kerr about an ex-cop private investigator in Germany in the 1930s and after the war. It looks great! (According to the cover, Salman Rushdie said “a brilliantly innovative thriller writer”!) ---

I got mine from **mlerose** on Monday - I’m hoping the ones I’ve sent have gotten there as well. Unfortunately, I can’t allow myself to begin reading them until the 9th - but then I have a month to do as I will and read/re-read…whatever I want to do. 🙂 ---

Life, email has been sent. Sorry about neglecting you. I would never do it intentionally. ( I probably deleted the email in the daily glurge I received.) Cranky, I haven’t received an email. Try: [arndthome2@netscape.net](mailto:arndthome2@netscape.net) ---
