Another solid Myth-O-Mania story, this one retelling the myth of Cupid and Psyche. Poor Cupid is going through an awkward stage: pimples, oily hair, and braces. Poor Psyche pisses off Aphrodite by being too beautiful. They fall in love but Aphrodite makes things difficult. Luckily, Hades is around to intervene.

Sace Omigosh. I didn't even realize this series existed and the Fairfax public library Overdrive has a lot of them. I'm so excited!! 5y

So excited for tomorrow, though I'll be sad to rip through that adorable paper. Also, tickled pink by the fact that my Cupid is local! 😃 #cupidgoespostal

Elliot & Tilney are just as curious and excited as I am about my #cupidgoespostal package that came in the mail today!! Two weeks doesn't seem like long to wait (j/k it's basically an eternity 😄) - tick tock... amended 2/12 - I opened the envelope to see if I could find the identity of the sender. Success! @Julsmarshall I look forward to opening the delightfully wrapped prezzies on 2/14! (Also - howdy neighbor 😃)

I'd have gone to the mailbox earlier if I'd known this was in there! My #cupidgoespostal package arrived today from New Jersey!❤️I had to peek inside (w/permission) but then I slid it all back in the envelope so I am less tempted. I found my match by the name on the return address so thank you so much @FictionFox! I feel very spoiled with all the wrapped gifts!😍Thanks again @BookishMarginalia Now if only my recipient would post their envelope!😥

Texreader Looks lovely!! 7y

Josh was so annoyed. I loved it. He wanted to get in on the mail fun and decided to open my #CupidGoesPostal. He couldn't believe it was wrapped inside. And that he couldn't help open til the 14th. It was fun. He is like a child at Christmas when mail comes.

LeahBergen 😂😂 7y
Bookzombie 😂😂 7y
Bookzombie Did they ship in the baggies? That is so smart. I didn't even think about the package getting wet. 7y
LibrarianRyan @Bookzombie yes they did. I agree so SMART. 🤓 7y
BibliophileMomma That's a great idea! 7y

😍😍😍📚📚📚💌💌💌💘💘💘 So excited to find this by my front door today and to have discovered a lovely new Litten - thank you, @bitterbear - I can't (but will) wait til the 14th!! (Also I squealed a bit when reading the address bc I used to live in St. Pete! 🌴🍊💙)

bitterbear Ya!!!! I just checked ups to see if it got delivered! Are you from here? 7y
bitterbear Well from st. pete? 7y

Christine No (grew up in Wisconsin), but my husband is from Naples, and we lived in St. Pete right after college in the early 2000s. We had such a fun time there - I had a rad job working as a crime analyst for the St. Pete PD, and we lived in a cheap and fairly sketchy apartment that was still right on the water...😍 What about you, from the area originally? 7y
bitterbear I was raised in Fort Myers which is near Naples... moved up here in 97... I like Florida but would rather be somewhere up North... I was actually thinking about moving to St. Pete. It seems like it has more cultural things going on. 7y
Christine @bitterbear Oh yes Fort Myers - small world!! I am no authority on St. Pete anymore, but back then I did love the diversity and culture, which somehow coexisted with a laid-back beach town sort of atmosphere. (edited) 7y

And it's off! What is normally a 5-6 hour drive will probably be a 6 day post office trip. Maybe larger. BTW, for those who don't know, you can ask at the post office for book rate. It takes longer but if they are convinced it's books the shipping gets cheaper. Have something obviously not a book like a water bottle they can turn you down. But fair warning: book rate or library rate is usually the slowest #cupidgoespostal

raelaschoenherr Cute packaging! 7y
LeahBergen 😍😍😍 7y
LibrarianRyan @raelaschoenherr thank you. Target. I always do there for fun bubble mailers. However I got a lecture for using the metallic one last time. Apparently the Natalie causes problems with the electronic readers. 7y

Hooked_on_books Be cautious of book rate (media mail). It works as a "standby" type system, so it goes on whatever vehicle it fits on after everything else is on. That means at busy mailing times it can take muuuccchhh longer than you expect. 7y
raelaschoenherr Oh fun, who knew those were at Target!! Good to know about metallic though :) 7y
Texreader I use the same bubble mailer so I was shocked to see it since I just mailed mine book rate yesterday. And then it wasn't my own package. Ha! Tracing says it will take a week to hit its destination. 7y
LibrarianRyan @Hooked_on_books trust me. I am very aware. Mail a lot of stuff. It's annoying because most library mail gets sent this way. But I'm a month out so I'm not too worried. Saved me $8. I prefer priority which is usually cheaper for light weight things. But not always. 7y
Betty I bought the same color dotted envelope at Target too for my Cupid goes postal. (edited) 7y
