#NoiseNoise #NuYear @Cinfhen @TrishB

This book was in the extended #JrYuleBookSwap box from @Leniverse. I intend to read it soon.

I would also have taken a picture of the copy I own, but right now I have one kitten at my feet and the other under my chair. Less than a yard between them. Yes, both are growling (?) but none is chasing the other.

Just realised I never posted this Andria loved her #jryulebookswap she dug through everything I had to make her slow down and didn't get pics of some of it because she had already eat it while I gathered things for the pic. The bookmarks not in the picture where her favorites she put the right in the books we are reading.

Sorry we havnt been on much but we lost are uncle at thanksgiving and have just been busy getting through the holidays.

TrishB Sorry to hear about your loss 💙 6y
EchoLogical I‘m so glad she liked everything but feel like crap because we sent so little. 😭😭😭 We just got back home last night and The Kid loved everything so much. I had to stop her from opening everything at once because we got in so late. I‘ll post pictures soon. Thank you guys for everything. It really made her day because she was feeling down about leaving our family. 6y
EchoLogical Couldn‘t fit everything in the one comment. I‘m sending you and Lexi and the rest of your family lots of love and strength to deal with your loss 💕 6y
DGRachel I‘m sorry for your loss. It‘s so hard during the holidays especially. 6y
litmuggle Oh don't feel bad we just love to give plus most of the books came from a bargain store by us I promise we didn't spend a lot I'm just a value shopper. The rainbow fairest is from her shelf she wanted to pass them and the whatever after girls on. We broke some thing she hand made that during dry in time so another will be on the was once it cures. We just do it for the fun she enjoyed putting jelly bears box together so much. 6y

Andrew65 @Leniverse Better than me, I only got 5. 2018 New Year‘s Resolution, Read more Neil Gaiman. 6y
Leniverse That's a great resolution! Part of my plan too. I need to read more Sandman. And I need to reread Good Omens before the tv-show. And I think it's time to reread Neverwhere as well. Oh, and my daughter got Odd and the Frost Giants in the #jryulebookswap so I'm swiping that as soon as she's finished. 😄 6y
Andrew65 @Leniverse Sounds like a great plan. Plenty to get our teeth stuck into. I want to read the book behind one of my favourite films, 6y
Leniverse I saw Stardust before I read the book too. And while I like the book I prefer the movie. Especially Robert de Nero's character. He is barely present in the book. (Just as a word of warning.) Also, it is so clearly inspired by the work of Lord Dunsany, and no writer ever comes well out of a comparison with Dunsany. But it's still worth reading. (And if you like the writing style try Dunsany next!) 6y
Andrew65 @Leniverse Thanks for the advice. Robert De Niro did steal the film with that performance! Had me in stitches. Will have to try some Dunsany as never tried any of his work. It clearly provided a good base for the film. Over Audible‘s 12 days of Christmas I downloaded Norse Mythology for 99p so I want to listen to that too. 6y
Leniverse I haven't tried his Norse Mythology. I've heard it's very well done, but as a Norwegian it just feels a bit wrong to read anything Norse in English. For Dunsany I recommend 6y
Andrew65 @Leniverse Thanks 😊, I will check that one out. Would be good to read it in the native tongue but would need to learn the language first. 😂 6y

Thank you so much @Mommamanzi and Haiden for such a wonderful box of fun for Aldrin. Nancy Clancy and the Shark book have already been read and the train lego built. I think the sticker books, shark tooth and bookmarks will keep him busy over the Christmas break. Everything was perfect for him. Thanks! @litmuggle #jryulebookswap

Tristan loved everything from his #jryulebookswap partner. You did a great job Nathan and @TerriGreen . He was really hoping for a lego set so he was really happy with all the lego merch. He was thrilled to get all the drawing supplies and how to draw books. And the books were perfect for his tastes, he already started Hatchet. It was all so perfect. Thank you so much! @litmuggle

TerriGreen We are so glad Tristan likes everything! Happy reading! 6y

@LouBeth thank you guys so much! Y'all made Miley's day. I think she's now obsessed with book exchanges like her auntie. 🤷🏾‍♀️

LouBeth @EchoLogical I'm so glad she likes it. It looks like Bella won't be opening her package until Christmas day after all. She is going to have an extra merry Christmas. ☺🎄 6y
EchoLogical @LouBeth A few more days! If mom says it's okay, post pics so I can show Miley. 6y

Axton opened his #jryulebookswap package this morning before heading off to school. I didn't get a picture of him with it, but he was super excited. Look at all the wonderful gifts from Australia! A puzzle of Australia, a bunch of treats, a pencil bag and stickers, two bookmarks, a book holder and two books. He wanted to read the 13 stores treehouse first and can't wait to try the treats. Thanks so much @MrsMalaprop 😍

Smangela Andy Griffith has a children‘s book?? Oh boy I‘m gonna have to get that, my dad will get a kick out of it :) 6y
MrsMalaprop Yay! @Smangela Andy Griffiths is a prolific and hugely popular Australian author of children‘s‘ books. This book is the first in a series. I hope Axton loves it as much as Clem does. 6y
Smangela Lol oops wrong Andy Griffiths BUT a 13-stores tree house sounds amazing soooo I‘m obviously still going to get it ;) thanks for expanding my horizons! @MrsMalaprop (edited) 6y

Thank you Tristan and @mdm139 for Nathan‘s #jryulebookswap gift. He loves everything. He dug right into the Superstars of Science book. He is considering reading Ender‘s Game for an upcoming school project. He just wishes it wasn‘t 400 pages-ugg that‘s my reluctant reader! The puzzle books are perfect for him. He is excited about building the catapult!! That was his favorite gift. Thanks again!

TEArificbooks Glad he liked it, I hope it keeps him busy over the break 6y

The kids were thrilled with their #jryulebookswap loot from @julesG and children. And I'm looking forward to Girl Waits With Gun. Not pictured: heaps of sweets and meowing kitty keychains! 😄
