Who am I kidding???!?? I couldn‘t wait until tomorrow @sisilia I rushed to the PO and made it with 13 minutes to spare 😜I‘m sooo excited for my FIRST #WorldReaders #1001BookSwap 🥳🥳🥳 I‘m already blown away by both @BookaholicNatty and Sisilia‘s gorgeous handwriting and lovely gifts!!!! Can‘t wait to read their notes as I attempt to read this book that both ladies found a little difficult to get through.

Lcsmcat Oh don‘t go into it expecting difficulties. It‘s such a lovely, heart-warming book. I hope you love it as much as I did. 6y
KarenUK I loved it too..... the two main characters are just wonderful.... a beautiful book that is amongst my all time faves 💕👍 6y
Cinfhen Good to know that you both loved this book @KarenUK @Lcsmcat 😄 6y

BookaholicNatty @Cinfhen I hope that you enjoy it! Looking back I realize I liked it more than I thought I did. I‘m going to have to re-read it again. I feel horrible for not getting the Poisonwood Bible out yet!! After my exam on Wednesday I will do my best to get it in the mail to you @sisilia that way you can read it over Christmas at least! Because it is such an ahmazing book!!!!!!! Hope everyone is doing well! @shendrix413 ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘 6y
Cinfhen Good luck with your exams @BookaholicNatty 🍀💚🍀💚 I‘m glad you enjoyed Posionwood 🤗🤗 6y

#Gratitude30 Day 7: I have vagaries of #memories and an accidental crime committed in a forgotten riot in Dhaka all woven together in my review of our #SEAReaders #1001BookSwap book choice. Family is central in the narrative, as well as self-definition apart from one‘s country of birth, and a part of a much larger collective involving kin, countrymen, and the cumulative #memories of what constitutes identity. My Review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ivv

BookishMe Glad to know you enjoyed Ghosh's writing... His books tend to leave too stunned, to breathe at times. Meeting him at a book launch here will remain one of my happiest moments 6y

Now officially completed the #1001BookSwap #SEAReaders book club. Truly enjoyed this novel by Arundhati Roy. Thanks to @Cindyelizavaz ‘s book choice, I can now proudly say I finished this exquisitely written novel, and mailing it back. I especially loved the invented words, which reminded me a little bit of Filipino singer-songwriter Cynthia Alexander‘s invented words in her songs, particularly Thioviolight. Thanks, @JenP for organizing this.

BookishMe 👍🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏾 6y
MrsMalaprop Just finished this one myself & posted a review. What an exceptional novel. 6y
Cindyelizavaz @BookishMe hello! I've finally finished the book!! I'm so sorry it took me a while to finish this. I'm writing on the journal now and sending this out to you! 6y

#1001BookSwap #SEAReaders Final title. I finally had the opportunity to start reading this. Apologies though, as I feel it will take me a loooong while to finish this with my craycray life at the moment. :)

#1001BookSwap #SEAReaders, @Smarkies - i got it! :) had to pick it up at the post office since it was delivered before we moved to our new place. :) But eet eez here. Please do give me around 6-8 weeks for this one, since things are cray cray with the move.

Smarkies Excellent! I was worried about seeing the status on the tracking website. 6y
BookishMe @Smarkies I have yet to send you the book with me ;o I will update you when I get it done by next week 6y
BookishMe Great, Myra... Now I can mark it read on my GR ;p 6y
Cindyelizavaz @BookishMe hi Santhi! I‘ve just followed up with my Mailroom on the postage because I couldn‘t see it on the tracker! They mentioned that due to the new relocation, they couldn‘t send it out last week (we had to relocate floors). But it will be out today - for sure! So so sorry for the delay! 6y
BookishMe @Cindyelizavaz don't worry about it ;D thanks for letting me know ❤️ 💗 6y

Sent my #1001BookSwap #SEAReaders to @Cindyelizavaz yesterday (noted with the new address). This is @BookishMe ‘s title. 😍📚🧚🏼‍♀️ Thanks for sending it @Smarkies . I think after I receive the next title, the circle should be complete.

BookishMe You're right... I will send your book to @Smarkies shortly. I am eager to read your views on my book choice. I saw your GR rating 😍😍 6y
