It‘s a reading-on-the-porch kind-of day. Eating tiny ice creams & dreaming. (Pay no attention to the sloppy pieces of wood in the corner.)

DivineDiana Tiny ice cream!!! 😲 6y

I just wanted to check-in with my fellow #LMPBCnC -ers and make sure we all got our next book.

@Elma @TheLibrarian @monalyisha

#LMPBC

MirrorMask I've sent an email to @Elma so hopefully I'll hear something soon. 6y

monalyisha I haven‘t yet started mine — but I received it & I just finished a book today, so I‘ll likely start it tonight. I‘m a little bit reluctant, though, as I saw that @TheLibrarian struggled with it. Wish me luck! 6y

TheLibrarian @MirrorMask @monalyisha @Elma I haven‘t received my next book yet. 6y

bookandcat Ooh I just bought this at Indie bookstore day! I hope it's good 6y

MirrorMask @bookandcat I'm really enjoying it so far 6y

MirrorMask @monalyisha Good Luck!! 6y

MirrorMask @TheLibrarian That's my main concern. I don't know if @Elma got the first book, so you won't be receiving one and I just sent a second book to the same address. I really hope she emails me back. 6y

monalyisha @MIrrorMask @TheLibrarian I'm sure we could reach out to @suvata if need be, as well! 6y

monalyisha The book I received does have comments from both @TheLibrarian & @Elma! (It started with the latter, then went to the former, then to me). It‘s neat to see two colors of notes in there! #newbie #easilyimpressed 6y

TheLibrarian @MirrorMask Any luck hearing back yet? 6y

MirrorMask @TheLibrarian I haven't heard anything. I uesd the email she put down when she signed up, so I don't know how often she checks it. 6y

Mailing packages & taking names!

@MirrorMask Your #LMPBC #LMPBCnC package should arrive to you on Thursday, May 9th. Sorry I‘m tardy! #procrastinatorsunitetomorrow

P.S. This mural on the side of my local post office is really amazing, & someone graffitied over parts of it with not-so-amazing art. It‘s a super-bummer. At least my favorite section was high enough up to survive!

TheLibrarian, Elma

MirrorMask Yay!!! I can't wait to read it!! 6y

MirrorMask Your package arrived today!!! @Elma I sent your package out today. 6y

monalyisha @MirrorMask cool! The postal service was early even though I was late. It all evens out, kinda. ✌🏻 6y

I don‘t want to oversell this...but I don‘t think I *could* oversell it. It‘s kind-of like if “Anne of Green Gables” went horribly, horribly wrong. @MirrorMask you‘re in for a treat (& I don‘t just mean the chocolate). I‘m planning to mail it out to you sometime this week! I‘ll tag you when I do.

MirrorMask I'm really excited to read this now. 6y

monalyisha @MirrorMask I keep forgetting to grab this on my way to work so I can mail it on my lunch break. Hoping to remember tomorrow! 🤦‍♀️ 6y

TheLibrarian @monalyisha The next book got mailed this past Monday so hopefully you‘ll get it soon! 6y

monalyisha Hi @TheLibrarian! I just got it a day or maybe two days ago. Thank you! I‘ve been so busy/sleep-deprived from my whirlwind Colorado visit that I forgot to post! 6y

TheLibrarian @monalyisha No worries and so glad you got it! They asked for an apt number so I was worried it wouldn‘t arrive. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y

monalyisha @TheLibrarian Technically, I guess we‘re 2S but we never use the apt #/it‘s not even on our licenses. 6y

It's time to start my second book for #LMPBC !!!

Thanks @monalyisha for the tasty treats, the Sour Patch bunnies are so yummy.

@Elma I hope my book arrived today and that the chocolates survived the trip. Let me know, and I'll have to think of another method of getting them to you.

#LMPBCnC @TheLibrarian

monalyisha Just wondering if everyone received their first round of books okay from our group? #LMPBC #LMPBCnC @Elma @TheLibrarian 6y

monalyisha Just remembered/re-saw the post that says @TheLibrarian got hers from @Elma. So, @Elma, I guess I'm just wondering if yours arrived? 6y

@Elma I got my #LMPBC #LMPBCnC package today. I look forward to reading it along with your thoughts/comments.

rretzler Hope you enjoy it more than I am. I‘m slowly reading it, about 25% through and it just hasn‘t grabbed me yet. I refuse to give up on it though. 6y

monalyisha Oh yay! 🤗 6y

monalyisha But also...not yay, @rretzler 😖. I hope it‘s picking up for you! 6y

rretzler @monalyisha I‘ve put it aside for awhile, I usually do that when something doesn‘t grab me and then I‘ll come back to it later. It may take a while, but I‘ll read it eventually. 6y

monalyisha @rretzler Bummer! It‘s coming to me as part of #LMPBC in the near future. It‘s a gorgeous cover & an interesting premise! 6y

rretzler @monalyisha I hope it grabs you more than it has me. Perhaps I‘m just not in the mood for that type of thing right now. I agree it‘s an interesting premise and I liked, but did not perhaps, love The Essex Serpent. Timing is probably just off for me 6y

monalyisha @rretzler I actually didn‘t love “The Essex Serpent” either. I guess we‘ll see! 🤞🏻 6y

TheLibrarian @monalyisha @rretzler It‘s slow going for me ☹️ and I‘m about 30% in. 6y

rretzler I‘m also around 30% and have put it aside for awhile to read other things. I‘m going to try to finish it slowly. I just don‘t know why it doesn‘t grab me, but I‘m glad to know I‘m not alone.😁 6y

TheLibrarian @rretzler Sadly I can‘t put it aside. It‘s for a #LMPBC and I need to mail it out soon. Guess I should have started it earlier! 6y

rretzler Good luck! Maybe it will get better? I see several Littens have really enjoyed it. A couple of my favorite books didn‘t get good for me until the second half, which is why I typically don‘t bail on a book. 6y

monalyisha @TheLibrarian Uh oh! Well, if it‘s a little bit late coming to me, I‘ll know why/it‘ll be totally okay. Good luck! 6y

When the epigraph‘s this good, there‘s no way the book can be bad. Right?

rmaclean4 I really enjoyed it! Hope you do as well. 6y

Oh, hi @TheLibrarian 👋🏻! My book for #LMPBC #LMPBCnC arrived today! We‘re on the way out the door for a walk in the sunshine/some beers/some lunch but it‘s perfect timing, as I just finished a book!

Excited to read your thoughts! ✨🔮

monalyisha @MirrorMask @Elma How‘re you guys doing? 6y

TheLibrarian Hooray!! I didn‘t write too many notes because the whole idea of writing in books is horrifying but I‘m trying to get over that. 6y

monalyisha @TheLibrarian Haha. I was an English major & our professors really encouraged us to mark up the text. So, that‘s not a particular hurdle I have to struggle over. It‘s not a practice I‘ve kept up, though, since I usually borrow library books. So I‘m kind-of thrilled. 😉 I like to see it as: a book changes *you.* It only makes sense to change it right back — at least a bit. A reciprocal relationship. 6y

monalyisha @suvata Do you want to be tagged in all #LMPBC-related posts or not particularly? 😆 6y

suvata @monalyisha You don‘t have to. I usually find them all by following the #LMPBC hashtag. (edited) 6y

monalyisha @suvata Perfect! ✨ 6y

MirrorMask I got your book on Friday @monalyisha and I'm sending my book to @Elma tomorrow. @TheLibrarian I didn't mark up my book too much. 6y

monalyisha @MirrorMask Cool. 😎 6y
