If I am unable to participate in a particular swap, can I just purchase the things I would have liked to have gotten in my swap for myself?

TEArificbooks Yes, buy yourself those things and you won‘t be disappointed. I buy myself my own Christmas presents every year. Make yourself happy. 2y
melissajayne @mdm139 ok; I‘ll do that instead. 2y
LeahBergen Did you miss the sign up date? There might be some more swaps coming along soon! 2y
melissajayne @LeahBergen no I didn‘t; I was kicked out of one. 2y

Hi @kspenmoll I hope all is well with you as we get closer to the end of the school year! I received your lovely note today. Thank you you so much! I think a CT meet up would be great! No one is too far away from each other in this state!

I was wondering if you had received my #PoetrySwap package? USPS reported it delivered on Saturday morning (4/8/22). I know we were both away last week, so I‘m worried porch pirates may have taken yours!

kspenmoll I am so sorry. It is right next to me! I screwed up & did not post yours. Will do love it all! Let me know when you get your box. (edited) 3y
Readergrrl Oh I did and opened it when we came home vacation. It was wonderful! I‘m already thinking of ways to incorporate some of the poems into my classes for next year! Thanks so much! I posted a few days ago, but I‘m wondering if you can‘t see it. I was having some weird effects on the Litsy app a few weeks ago and lately I‘ve noticed very little action on some things I post. It wouldn‘t surprise me at all if things had gone wonky again!!🤣 3y

Still haven‘t received my #lmpbc #groupz #round3 book this month yet. Was just wondering if it is in the mail @Lidia ?

Velvetsun @shellleigh33 I sent her 2 books at the end of last month because I was sick in September. I‘m sorry if I put the whole thing behind schedule. 😕 (edited) 6y
shellleigh33 It‘s okay. I was just making sure it didn‘t get lost in the mail. I hope you are feeling better. 6y
shellleigh33 @cherinium I just wanted to let you know that I still have not got this last book in the mail yet so I will be behind getting it to you. 6y

Just got this advertisement... It's called "read a book day"... They don't know Littens... Only a day to read a book? We do always read... ???

Libby1 I heard about this on the radio this morning! I thought, “well, I certainly hope to accomplish THAT today!” 6y
Moray_Reads Read a book a day is more like it for Littens! 😂 6y

So I know this is a little out there, but a (straight) friend of mine can‘t comprehend how wrong gay conversion camps/therapies are. Does anybody he know of any books/ memoirs about these kind of camps? I don‘t think she‘s lacking empathy I think she just doesn‘t quite understand... #recomendsday #queerbooks #recommendations

Jabberwocky (I have googled, I‘m just wondering if anyone has read something good they‘d want to share) 7y
Jess7 I‘ll tag some of the librarians and people who read a wide array of books - one of them may know the answer to your question - @Chelleo @TheLibrarian @MrBook @LibrarianRyan @BarbaraTheBibliophage 7y
Jabberwocky @Jess7 Thank you! 7y

TheKidUpstairs I'd be happy to send Cameron Post out to you, if you want to share it with your friend! 7y
LibrarianRyan This book was previewed in Rolling Stone. (edited) 7y
LibrarianRyan I haven't honestly read any of these books but it was a list suggested by a friend. @Jess7 7y
TheLibrarian I was going to suggest Boy Erased (which @LibrarianRyan already tagged). There was a Criminal Minds episode about one of these camps. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for the tag @Jess7 - I‘m honored to be in this group of librarians and diverse topic readers. I don‘t have a lot to add to the suggestions, @Jabberwocky but I‘d encourage you to read the reviews and posts here on Litsy. I just went through them for Boy Erased, and people wrote some meaningful thoughts. That‘s what I love about this community! 💕 7y
Jabberwocky @BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheLibrarian @LibrarianRyan Thank you all so much for the suggestions! I am planning a used bookstore trip on Thursday so I will have my eyes peeled! @TheKidUpstairs If I can‘t find a copy here in the next couple days I will 100% take you up on that offer! 7y
Jabberwocky @TheKidUpstairs if you are still wanting to do this I would love to take you up on this offer!! I can ship it back to you once she‘s done reading it! (Actually I‘ll probably read it as well 😅) 7y
TheKidUpstairs @Jabberwocky I'll send it out this week! I think I've still got the email with your address from the tote swap. I've read and enjoyed it, so don't worry about sending it back 😁 7y
Jabberwocky @TheKidUpstairs what! That‘s very generous of you! 💖 if you need my address again just let me know! Thank you!! 7y
