Dear @maich, I have a couple of requests that I forgot to put on my form.

🌎 Page count for books - PLEASE only send more than one if they are 400 pages or less - I'm running out of shelf space! 🤣
🌎 Either focus on location or time - I realise what I wrote on the form will be hard to find, so if one is easier to do than the other, that's absolutely fine!

Thanks in advance!

@Chrissyreadit @DinoMom

Chrissyreadit You are a direct match!!! Feel free to communicate ❤️ 2w
jenniferw88 @Chrissyreadit thank you for letting us know 🤣 2w
maich I found some books that have both location and time. Check your email and tell me which one you haven't read yet😃 1w

#StaycationInTime @Chrissyreadit @DinoMom

After over 3 months of applying and interviewing, I found a job in another department with the same Hospital I currently work for. My first day is May 19th. I was told I could not take any time off for the next 3 months while in training. That means there will be no summer vacation for me. So this staycation happened at the perfect time. I'm looking forward to it!

ju.ca.no @jenniferw88 oh no, sorry for the trouble😅😅 2y
jenniferw88 @ju.ca.no Not your fault! I'd actually bought 3 books anyway, so it was just a case of double-checking what you'd read and replacing the one with the other 😂 (I couldn't decide which to send, so my mishap worked out for the best really!) 2y
