Thank you for those that have already emailed me to confirm receiving their matches. There were a couple of people whose email addresses got bounced back. I've left comments for them to email me so they can get their matches.

jitteryjane724 Hello! This is such a cool idea. I have a couple of questions about the swap. Firstly, when would we be informed of our matches? (Checking to see if I'll be able to meet the deadline as I'm doing some traveling around then as well). Secondly, do we find out the identities of the person who sends books to us? Just wondering if this is a “once and done“ type of contact. Thanks! 2w

MaleficentBookDragon @jitteryjane724 hi Jane! I plan to have the matches sent out by Tuesday, November 26th at the latest. When we get our packages we post what we got on December 24th. Senders sometimes put their Litsy name on the outside of the box, and everyone puts a note or card inside the gift so you know who your match was. Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you join us! 2w

wen4blu Just signed up. It‘s my favorite swap. 2w

Branwen Just signed up! Super excited! 🥰🎄 1w

MaleficentBookDragon @jitteryjane724 If you are still interested in joining us I could get you your match early if you are worried about traveling when I send the matches out. 1w

jitteryjane724 Hello @MaleficentBookDragon I have signed up! Having the match by November 26 as planned should work just fine for me. Thanks very much and I'm really looking forward to this! 6d

candc320 Hi! Just checking to see if you sent out the matches? I didn‘t see anything yet but wanted to check just in case I didn‘t get the email. 3h

MaleficentBookDragon @candc320 I sent them out today. Let me know if you haven't gotten it yet. 28m

The Saturday Evening Post Small-batch Canning & Freezing Cookbook: Recipes that Bring the Summer Garden to the Winter Table | Charlotte Turgeon

Library Book Sale Haul Part 3:
Aha! Gotcha: Paradoxes to puzzle and delight by Martin Gardner
The Saturday Evening Post Small-Batch Canning & Freezing Cookbook by Charlotte Turgeon
Delphi: Monuments and Museum by Photios Petsas
Thessalonike Museum by Manolis Andronicos

The last two are museum guides to two famous Greek locations, both of which I have been lucky to visit.
Overall, a good haul!
