#Best2021Swap and #Jolabokaflod boxes were sent today. It took forever for me to receive the books so I could send the boxes. There are books no available in our local bookstores. They arrive yesterday late in the afternoon. I‘m still waiting for a book but it is not for a swap. I have the tracking numbers and boxes are expecting to arrive next Wednesday. 🤗

Book came today for #SFMBC
@Endowarrior21 was there a journal that went with this book?

Avanders Possibly not — @ReadingRover do you still have the journal? If so, could you send it to Amy instead? Let me know! ♥️♥️ 5y
MrsGagnonreads2024 No seeing it was a replacement I wrote my review in the back 5y
MommyOfTwo @Endowarrior21 ok, I didn‘t realize it was a replacement. 5y
Avanders @Endowarrior21 good call writing your review in the back! And thank you ☺️ Amy, I‘m checking in with the other SFMBC‘er on the status of the original... I‘m hoping it can be sent to you soon! ♥️ 5y

@LibrarianRyan I had a great day of Litsy Mail today! I got my first #bookmarkswap package from I believe @ShelleyBooksie in New Brunswick (the yellow envelope in the corner) and I got my fabulous #tallshipcelebration prize pack from the lovely @CrowCAH . I can‘t wait to read these books - and thank you for the other goodies!

CrowCAH You‘re welcome; glad it arrived safely! ☺️ Sling up a hammock and dive into some adventuresome reads! 5y
LibrarianRyan Yeah. And I love all those Stephanie Laurens. I used to be addicted to her books 5y

@ReadingRover your box for #SFMBC is on its way as well as a package from Amazon because I fell behind planning for this month. The Amazon package should arrive Monday and the other I was Monday or Tuesday.

@Mommamanzi your package is on its way for #CBBC It will arrive Monday or Tuesday. I have a package being sent from Amazon as well to you too which should arrive Monday.

Yay for mail!!!!!!!

ReadingRover @MommyOfTwo I just checked Informed Delivery and it says a package was delivered to my door today. (I‘ve been out since 10) it‘s from Florida. Is that you? 5y
MommyOfTwo @ReadingRover No I‘m in Wisconsin, just tracked it and it was delivered on the 9th (edited) 5y
MommyOfTwo @ReadingRover you also should have received a package from amazon on the 8th 5y
ReadingRover @MommyOfTwo No still haven‘t gotten it. The one that was here was my Uppercase box. 5y
ReadingRover @MommyOfTwo oh forget all that I‘m just a spacey asshole who hasn‘t checked my actual mailbox in a week. I just grabbed it out of there. Sorry. My hot water heater leaked and ruined my floor so I haven‘t even thought about the mail (my mailbox is a bit of a walk). I‘ve just been grabbing my packages. Phew 😅 thank god it was there. (edited) 5y

Canada Post continues to impress 🙄 Last week they told me the #MakerSwap box would get there by July 4 (July 5 at the latest) and now the tracking says it won‘t get there until next Monday.

LibrarianRyan Okay. 5y
JacqMac Canada Post is the worst. 5y
Clwojick Wow! I sent yours out on Thursday, and you got it earlier than planned. I never trust what Canada post tells me 😂 5y
teebe @Clwojick right?! I sent a day late because I‘ve had the flu but they were like “it‘ll be fine, it only takes 3 days to get there!” I don‘t know what they‘re doing with it that it‘ll take until Monday 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y
teebe @JacqMac for sure, they‘re always disappointing. 5y

@Stacy_31 proof it was officially mailed. It may not get there by the 4th. Please forgive me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turns out the kiosk was set for overnight mail only (it‘s broken and awaiting repair). Which is why I could not get it out yesterday or Saturday.

I hope it‘s worth the wait. You should already have the book box. There are no notes in that box but it is still something to open on July 4. #makerswap

Stacy_31 Thanks, Ryan!! I‘m excited!! We will be away for a few days but my father in law will be here to collect our mail, so if it doesn‘t arrive by the 4th, I will open it as soon as we get home. 😁😁 5y

Coming home to book mail always makes a day better! This month‘s BOTM pick finally made it here after some random postal detours. And to celebrate the end of the semester, I treated myself to the special edition holiday box from #EverAfterBox. So much bookish fun!

abbsinwonderland What is the Ever After box? 7y
megt @abbsinwonderland it‘s a quarterly romance subscription box. I‘ve never gotten one of their boxes before (although I did sign up for the next one to try it out). The box I got today is a one off they did for the holidays. I‘ll make another post of what was inside! 7y
