Avanders @LibrarianRyan ok thanks! And I hear you — I had a couple things take way longer to arrive than expected!! 2y

Avanders @KatieDid927 ok thanks! 🔮🦠 2y

Avanders @BookwormAHN 😄😘🥰 2y

Readergrrl Mine will be mailed express tomorrow! I meant to post earlier. Amazon did not deliver the book I wanted! Boo! I had to make an emergency trip to the local Barnes and Noble BUT it will be out in the expedited post tomorrow!! 2y

Avanders @Readergrrl oh no I hate it when Amazon doesn‘t come through! 😫 thanks for the update - since you‘re sending tomorrow, priority should be fast enough ☺️ 2y

Readergrrl @Avanders I think it will too. I have had the worst luck with Amazon these last few months. Even with Prime, 2y

Gissy I‘m waiting for one item but I will send it priority mail. Leif it doesn‘t arrive then I can send that item later. 2y

Avanders @Gissy ok thanks for the update! 🦠🔮 2y

HeathHof Sorry for the late update but mine has been shipped and is due to arrive this Saturday! 2y

Avanders @Mynameisacolour ok wonderful - thanks is for the update! 🔮🦠♥️ 2y

MeganAnn I‘ve been on the fence, but your post pushed me over the edge and I signed up. 🤷‍♀️🎉📚✨ My birthday is five days after the opening date so I‘m considering this swap an early birthday present to myself (and to share with whoever I send to because choosing gifts is my favorite!) 2y

Avanders @Gissy @MeganAnn 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 And Megan - it‘s the day before my birthday.. so it‘s also a bday present to me! 😄💖🎂 (edited) 2y

@Avanders is hosting a speculative fiction swap.

For those not in the know “Speculative fiction is a broad category of fiction encompassing genres with elements that do not exist in reality, recorded history, nature, or the present universe. Such fiction covers various themes in the context of supernatural, futuristic, and other imaginative realms.“

LeahBergen Well, this sounds fun! I‘m not sure if I‘m into very much speculative fiction, though. 🤔 2y

LibrarianRyan DANG YOU. Too Good to pass up. I'll share soon. And sign up later tonight when I can access google. 2y

Avanders @LeahBergen 🤔 Totally understand that hesitation. It is a pretty broad category… though still *speculative* at its core 😁 As I say, no pressure, but if you click the link, there‘s an image at the bottom of the page that shows you what all is included .. some of the broader categories might appeal to you? ☺️😘 2y

Endowarrior21 I have the copy that came from Amazon but my mom says nothing has arrived at her house yet and nothing has come here either. @Avanders I will send out the copy from Amazon with my review to the next person. 5y

Shadowfat I didn't realize it had come up so soon! I'll have to read it quickly. 5y

Avanders @Endowarrior21 okay .. that‘s a good plan! I‘ll tell the last sender to just forward it on ☺️ @shadowfat me too! I just started today 😁😁 5y

ofbooksandme Hi! I spent over a month in Spain and after I came back last week it was all chaotic. But, yes I got Scott's book and I sent it on Monday. Tomorrow I can email the tracking number if it's necessary. 5y

MommyOfTwo Ive got all my stuff plan to get it out soon since it will be leaving the country. I‘m so nervous about it, I‘ve never sent anything out of country before. 6y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Nothing to do with the post, but I appreciate this chart! 😊 6y

Avanders @ReadingRover it sneaks up on you! 😁 @GrilledCheeseSamurai @Shadowfat 😘😘 @MommyOfTwo before you head to po - go to Usps.com and check which way to send is best/cheapest.. depending on what you're sending, flat rate priority might even be best! 🤗 @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego ☺️ I like this one .. it has the basics.. but there's a slightly more complex one I may post next time 😁 6y

ReadingRover @Avanders can you email me the doc again. I can‘t find it for some reason and I know you changed your address. I think I‘m sending to you this time! 5y

Avanders @ReadingRover Yep will do! 😘 5y

MaleficentBookDragon Okay. I think I messed up. Who am I supposed to send to this rotation? My mind is shot. 5y

Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon you send to @MommyOfTwo this round ... do you want me to resend the rotation? And ya know, it's the time change... messes up everything 😜🧠🌪 5y

ReadingRover @Avanders I know I‘m years behind! I swear I‘ll send the package in the next few days. I know I‘m a postal disaster 😬 5y
