68 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Centered on a real landmark on the coast of North Carolina, The Mailbox blends intriguing folklore and true faith with raw contemporary issues that affect every woman. When Lindsey Adams first visits the Kindred Spirit mailbox at Sunset Beach, she has no idea that twenty years later she will still be visiting the mailboxstill pouring out her heart in letters that summarize the best and worst parts of her life. Returning to Sunset for her first vacation since her husband left her, Lindsey struggles to put her sorrow into words. Memories surface of her first love, Campbelland the rejection that followed. When Campbell reappears in her life, Lindsey must decide whether to trust in love again or guard herself from greater pain. The Mailbox is a rich novel about loss, hope, and the beauty of second chances.

@TheBookHippie I received a package from Amazon. I guess this is from you since you said I would receive a package from Amazon. But there is no note outside unless I open it. I will wait until March 20th during the #SpringEquinoxSwap opening date. Just to let you know that the package arrived🤗❤️❤️❤️

@sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit

TheBookHippie Yay! Well there should be two boxes! 😵‍💫 I‘ll check the tracking. 3y
TheBookHippie The other package is still enroute! 3y
Gissy @TheBookHippie It is ok, we are on time and thank you!🥰 3y

Gissy @TheBookHippie Yesterday I picked up the second package. It arrived last Tuesday but it was yesterday when the front gate guard told me to pick it up (the person in charge to pick up all packages) So it is here waiting until next Sunday to open it🤗Thank you in advanced🥰

It has been a crazy work week (with a mountain of marking still to come) so it was amazing to come home to some #LitsyLove in the mailbox. Completely made my day! (And I 100% agree that dogs are people too...at least mine thinks he is)

@AmyG @Crazeedi @BookNAround - I'm waiting on some stationary to arrive so I can actually start responding to people, but 🤞 it doesn't take too long.

Three swap boxes sent today: #VeryAustenHoliday box @Chrissyreadit @Sprainedbrain
#Bestof2020 @Candority
#jolabokaflodswap @MaleficentBook
They should arrive by Monday.

I‘m waiting for some items for the other 3 swaps. They should be out by next week.

We are under new restrictions😱from 12/7 to 01/07. Curfew time: 9:00pm/5:00am. Lockdown on Sundays except essentials stores. Beaches are closed again😬no sales of alcohol beverages S/S😲

Chrissyreadit Wow!!! Has Covid exploded by you?I wish everyone would go on lockdown at the same time so it would be under control. 4y
Gissy The Governor said that if the numbers continue increasing, there will be a total lockdown. But apparently the problem is related with family reunions during the holidays. There are family members with COVID. Will see. In our case, we haven‘t have any family reunion since the quarantine. Everyone do their celebrations within their nuclear families. @Chrissyreadit 4y
candority Thank you for posting! I hope everything with the new restrictions goes well! 4y

Gissy Yes, too many swaps but I really enjoy them☺️ @tpixie (edited) 4y
Gissy I sent my boxes 2 weeks ago but I don‘t if they received them because my matches have not posted anything. But I know that the box related with Austen which was sent the same day, was received and opened before opening date. @candority @MaleficentBookDragon 4y
candority @Gissy I will follow up with your #Bestof2020Swap match via email to see if they have received it! 4y

BeansPage @Klou thank you sweetheart! Just a warning though this is a very pricey book. I know on eBay they were selling it for a few hundred dollars a piece. Amazon is a bit cheaper but you're looking at a used copy. 6y
Klou Woah. Probably have to wait a while to get that one then. Looks good though!!! 6y
BeansPage @Klou it's definitely a must-have for horror readers but it costs a pretty penny (as do most collectable items) unfortunately. But it's well worth it to have it! 🤩 6y
