Ok so I have been spying on my SS because I don't know anything about her. We hardly ever talk. But after my reading, my decision is final. I do hope the book I am picking for her is perfect because I just have the feeling that if she hasn't read it already, it will be great for her. I have been going back and forth and I thought I made a decision, but now I know. So, I plan on getting mine out by the 29th and I can't wait for the reveal because I want to know if I made the right choice. And Sis, you can be honest with me because I won't be offended if you don't like it. It is one of those books that is a gamble I guess.

LOL! I've been doing that too! She mentioned a specific book, but I haven't been able to find it.

I don't know if my SS got my book yet, but I have been compiling a wish list of books that I want for my library. And I thought, oh gee, I wish my SS could see this if she's having trouble figuring out what to get me. Is it still possible to list that list? I don't know who to ask. What do you think?

I say post a link (or the list), then if your SS reads here and wants to check it out she can. Maybe it will inspire the rest of us too.

Ok, that sounds good. Although I don't know how much inspiration it will do for others, as it's all about childbirth and infant care. Here is my wishlist on amazon. I hope it comes up!! And I don't mind used at all. As long as it's readable.

Not hard to tell what you are interested in right now, is it??? Though based on the recommendations of other ladies around here, that looks like a pretty good wish list.

Yeah, I didn't find out I was pregnant until way after the start of the exchange. So while a nice fiction book would be fine, I do have some 'must reads' on my list for future needs, so to speak.

I received my book today! And I almost didn't let the delivery guy in the building!!! I couldn't hear what he was saying but I buzzed him up anyway.

I got "Sophie's Heart" by Lori Wick. My sis mentioned in the note that she wasn't sure if it was what I was looking for, but the book looks great. I'm excited to try a new author!!! Thank you so much sis!!!

But I do have it sitting on my dresser. I am just afraid to send it out because I want it to be a good choice. But I think that tonight, I am going to force myself to go to the post office and mail it. We have a 24 hour post office here so I really have no excuse.

Mine is sitting in a box in my living room. I couldn't find the title that she stated she had her eye on. This is a book that my sis bought for me and I've read it, but it's still in excellent condition. It's an older title by a good author. I enjoyed it. I hope she likes it. But, I have my insecurities of how she'll feel about receiving a used book. However, I know that I don't care what type of book I receive or how old it is, new or used. I'm just thankful that my SS took the time to think of me. KWIM?

OK- I work for UPS. I think I just gave myself the courage to take the book to work with me today and get it mailed out. As long as I don't overnight it, my boss will let me put it on our store account, so that's cool.

ok, so how do you get all of those quotes into one post? I have been making multiple replies, then cutting and pasting into the one reply that I submit. Is there an easier way?

On post 169 I just hit the quote button and typed under the last close quote tag.

For other posts you can highlight, copy and paste into your post. Then highlight the area that you want quoted and click on the quote button above your post.

you could also type out [ quote ] at the beginning and [ / quote ] at the end (no spaces). But to me that takes too long.... or I'm too lazy..... or both.

Mine has been mailed and I received mine in the mail

I saw More with Less at a yard sale this weekend and wish I'd bought it!!! (I think it was Jen who wanted it...) I'm not your SS and I don't know if yours found it or not But I was standing at the yard sale thinking about you It was worn, so that's why I didn't buy it, but that's silly of me. I wish I'd gotten it anyway.

Ahh, thanks for thinking of me, Jess! That's better than a book any day.

I love used books. When Dave and I were dating, we used to go to a flea market and pick out our favorite books and give them to each other.

I got my book today!! It is a book that I have already read, but it was really good, so I don't mind reading it again. Plus, this is "Reading Month" at our school so I need as many books as I can get (teachers have a competition going against the kids). Thanks SS!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I think I posted this already, but my SS received her package)
