Package for the #funinthesunsummerbookexchange went out today. I hope my match enjoys it! #summerbookexchange Thanks for setting this up @BookaholicNatty

ReadingRover @BookaholicNatty I totally forgot to mark the box but there are some stickers on it and it‘s pretty summery in itself but could you let my match know what it looks like so she doesn‘t open it right away please! I posted on Elfster that the package was sent. 7y

BookaholicNatty No problem @ReadingRover!!!! The box is adorable!!!! ❤️Thank you for being so timely in sending your package out! You rock girl! ❤️🎁🌞 7y

ReadingRover @BookaholicNatty NP. I was about to send it book rate but I was worried it might be a day or 2 late so I went for the ups. Totally worth it. Thanks again for setting this up! 7y

vkois88 @Tiffy_Reads I said the same thing but I have no self control lol... but on the other hand, one of the swaps I had signed up for isn't happening anymore. So I felt like it justified signing up for this one 7y
