5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cronin knocks it out of the park again. The farm is getting ready for a birthday party. Games might be played, but everyone wants to look their best. Such a fun book.

Emily92Bibliophile @FountainBookstore did you like your gifts??! 7y

FountainBookstore @Emily92Bibliophile this is soooooooooooooo late! It was a beautiful package! So impossible picking books for a bookseller. I had actually read all three and loved them all, so you gave me the greatest gift of all: the gift of giving! I kept the so sweet mug and socks for myself, then went out and had a glass of cava at my local, tipped generously and gave the books to the young women bartenders who love to read, but have no book money. So great! 7y

FountainBookstore @Emily92Bibliophile I should have taken a picture. Anyway, your socks saved me in the snow and I use the mug all the time. I haven't been posting here because: retail. And there's all this end of year tax crap that smacks you right after the holidays. Not complaining. Love my job, but I'm just "unavailable" for 6 weeks a year around Dec 25. Your gift gave me a much needed lift during that time! ?? (edited) 7y

This was meant as a surprise, but B&N is shipping the items individually. 😲

So, @Yeah_I_Read, expect some goodies from B&N in the next days, to make up for the #booktoteswap parcel that is MIA.

#BookToteSwap @cobwebmoth

cobwebmoth @julesG This is very kind of you.💞 7y

Sarah83 I had the same experience with bookdepository. 🤦 7y

Sarah83 What's MIA? 7y

Eeeeeek! I got a package today! Thank you @mrsmarch I'm so excited! 😍 safe to open the box or should I wait until the 21st?

mrsmarch YAAY! That box, yo. It was out for deliverance on Friday afternoon and the next thing I knew, it was back in North Olmstead! Wth?? Everything is wrapped, you *could* open if you can resist wrapped packages. I personally can't. 8y

mrsmarch Each package has a cryptic, written note on it too. That might make the temptation worse... 8y

Smangela @mrsmarch ahh well the box was torn slightly so I had to open it haha but now I'm sticking it in the guest bedroom closet so I don't pass by it! I swear that sort of mail back and forth happens all the time for me! Thank you 😍 8y

Smangela @mrsmarch I did avoid reading the notes to curb the curiosity haha 8y

mrsmarch Ack!! I hope nothing was damaged? 8y

Smangela @mrsmarch I don't think so because all of the wrapping paper is in perfect condition! :) 8y

Smangela @mrsmarch my mail carrier was probably just curious ;) 8y

mrsmarch @Smangela ok good lol. Because the squishy thing on the top was hard enough to wrap. 😜 (edited) 8y

Pinkmeghan Oh good @mrsmarch I was just about to text you to see if it got delivered!!! 👍 8y

Well, I guess I *was* asking for it, when I made the first prompt for #aprilamazingreads "surprising". ?

I meant to post this ages ago!! The package clearly got rained on, but I *think* my #CupidGoesPostal Secret Cupid person is from MI. I can't wait to open it! @BookishMarginalia

RadicalReader @jess.how how was the book that you got in the mail from your #CupidGoesPostal 8y

howjessicareads @RadicalReader - I don't think we're supposed to open yet! I started to open it bc I thought it was from a publisher, and then I saw something pink, and I was like shoot!! Haha. 8y

RadicalReader @jess.how I can definitely understand how you feel with that " aw crap" moment. Good that you didn't fully open it so you will still be surprised. 8y

howjessicareads Wellllll @RadicalReader - full disclosure, the pink thing was candy. And I totally ate it. 🙈🙈🙈 Lol. I couldn't resist! I mean, the candy was right on top. 🙈🙈🙈 But I didn't look at the books! So yes, some surprise awaits me. 8y

brandymuses That's definitely MI. We are the land of zip codes beginning with 4. And wow, you have way more willpower than I do. 😉 8y

howjessicareads @brandymuses - you make me feel much better! Bc I'm feeling super guilty at already knowing half the surprise and eating the candy. Lol, I had to fess up! 😝 8y

There's nothing I like better than the slow burn. That's why I didn't open my #secretsantagoespostal parcel this morning before I left for school. And this is as far as I am taking it until I get home from chaperoning the dance tonight. I love having something to look forward to, @BookishMarginalia . Special shout-out to my gift sender, @LEGolasa ❤

LEGolasa I hope you like it!! You're will power is strong 😀 8y

Hooked_on_books I admire your willpower! 8y

Oh wow, look what got here already? I received my owlcrate on the day they usually start shipping. This is actually the first time I was able to open this box without having seen spoilers beforehand. 😃 And I LOVE everything in it. But as this is (thankfully) not Instagram, you won't get spoilers from me. 😉 Just rest assured: if you're still waiting for yours, the wait is worth it. 😊

JanuarieTimewalker13 I won't be getting it, but now I'm dying to see what the booktubers put up bc I live vicariously! Lol. Saving for a bathroom renovation so if I want a book it has to be under $6. 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 My bathroom is an anachronism. It lives in 1976 whilst the rest of my place is at least in the oughts. I hope I pulled off make believe British as best as possible. Lol 8y

elkeOriginal Thank you for not spoiling!!! 8y

scripturient @JanuarieTimewalker13 😂😂😂👍🏻 8y

scripturient @elkeo No need to thank me. I hate it when everyone posts their box on Instagram the second they open it because I'm usually one of the last to receive it (because I'm in Europe). I'm always like Thanks for that one + all kinds of scary-sounding German swearwords! 😂 This time they shipped the international boxes super early do it was actually a surprise. 😊 (edited) 8y

scripturient so, not do. :) 8y

DeborahSmall Can you get this in U.K.? 8y

scripturient @DeborahSmall Yes, they ship internationally but postage is quite expensive. I've actually been thinking of switching to Fairyloot, which is based in the UK. 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @scripturient it is a great box! I watched Kieran Higgin's booktube and Ironically someone in the comments said he had to cancel his subscription box for home improvements-I laughed!!! Not the only one! 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @DeborahSmall I'm butting in here-pretty sure that's an affirmative bc I see booktubers from across the pond opening Owl Crate boxes! 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Oops! Sorry! Didn't know you were responding at same time! 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @scripturient see, I would dig getting an subscription box from the U.K.! Ok: note to self: Fairyloot. Any other U.K. Subscriptions? 8y

scripturient @JanuarieTimewalker13 No problem. :) Haven't really checked but I think there is one that pairs books with tea. :) I'm quite happy with owlcrate but postage rates really are a b**** and I'm always afraid customs will add taxes. That's why I was contemplating Fairyloot which looks similar to owlcrate but wouldn't costs me that much as it's in the EU. At least for now. 😕 8y

DeborahSmall Thanks @JanuarieTimewalker13 @scripturient I'm thinking of joining the Goldsboro book Club. You get a signed first edition every month. You buy 3 to start off then one a month with 10% off other purchases I've ordered a signed first edition of A Gentleman in Moscow, I'll get it Feb. They have a beautiful signed and numbered first edition of Caraval that's crying out to me! Oh you get a free book when you join too! @ScorpioBookDreams is to blame! 8y

DeborahSmall Hopefully I will sign up next week or just after Xmas but will look into other book clubs. I spend at least 640 on Amazon every month but would prefer a couple of book clubs ? 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @scripturient interesting! Is it NovelTeas or something like that? 8y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @DeborahSmall you're welcome!! And that sounds like an awesome book club!! 8y

ScorpioBookDreams @DeborahSmall I don't regret shouting my love for Goldsboro book club for one moment!! 8y

DeborahSmall @ScorpioBookDreams I'm so glad you did. I was ready to subscribe the other day but there was no option for me to state a referral, should I call the order in? X 8y

Bought this for my nephew and it was another lovely addition to the Click, Clack, Moo series. My 14 and 10 yr old stopped what they were doing to listen to me read it out loud to "test" it out. ? ??? (all wrapped and boxed up now!)
