« on: July 22, 2012, 07:58:37 AM »
I was so thrilled to receive my Book Swap package the other day...JazzMatazz was my partner, and she really went above and beyond!  I have two more ponies to add to my herd and lots of summer reading to do! :)  Thank you so much, Jazz!!  :hug:

Also, many thanks to Honeycomb for hosting the swap - I had so much fun shopping for my partner!

I'm glad you liked everything! Bhagwavad gita is something I read back in high school when I was reading up on many different religions. I'm glad it turned out to be a book you wanted to read! I've been thinking about rereading it myself but I'm in the middle of a backlog of books alongside waiting for my swap box!

Forgot to mention the card was made by a member here, autumnskyeangie. Got a set of cards from her at a WI Pony meet :D

I was happy to see your pony wishlist with lots of g3s since I've been thinning out my collection both of those I'm the first owner of.

Woohoo mail came today! I got a wonderful package from Alexia! Also got an obama sticker out of nowhere in the mail. Perfect size for hiding the address area.
She spoiled me with so many books!  :faint: Though if I were to receive a wishlist like mine I would be compelled to do so too since comics are fast reads. I'm excited for the fantasy novels! :D

Everything but the chocolate, I've had a piece it was awesome! I've been curious about the sea salt caramels... and I guessed right heaven in a bite!
The Salem witchcraft museum bookmark is cool! I love museums, I haven't been to that one.

A little bit about the fishing guide: Not my normal want in my library but when I was a kid in oh I want to say fourth grade. The artist visited our school and talked to us about being an artist and the books he's illustrated. I regretted not getting a book since it was such a big interest for me. I'm going for an art degree now... even if I do think it was a bad idea I am almost finished. Rather fell in love with the farm later.

Dave McKean is an artist I really enjoy and the stuff he does with Neil Gaiman, I've loved everything I've read so far so I'm excited and curious about The Tragical Comedy or comical tragedy of Mr. Punch. More of an impulse throw on the wishlist!

TMNT, good thing I recently started rereading volume 1&2 ;) I was really hoping for at least book 3 and had plans to pick it up if not.

I somehow opened the comic con pony first!  :shocked: felt so spoiled and derby pins!! I miss playing but the game is so different now since I played last! The rules are still evolving.

Yay! So glad you got the package Jazz! I couldn't resist TNMT or Starwars, I am a definite 80s geek girl LOL! That fantasy series is one of my favorites and I pretty much force it into everyone's hands I possibly can, I hope you enjoy them! And that Mr. Punch was something I had never heard of and seemed super awesome.  Aren't those caramels super yummy, I normally don't eat chocolate since it gives me migraines but I suffer through it for that sea salt caramel!

I'm that way with the Young Wizard Series by Diane Duane, though I gave away my extra set already! If I find them at thrift stores I pick them up and force them into peoples hands! Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean best combo of artists ever.. they made the movie Mirrormask! Which I force everyone to watch, I love that movie so much. Dave has a very interesting multiple layers style that I love.

I may have been born in 1989 but I grew up with mostly 80s toys when I was really young and then more 90s stuff as a teen. I've loved the turtles since I was 3! There is a video of me somewhere playing with my cousin's toys and trying to ninja kick!

congrats Alexia! hehe Monster at the End of this Book was one of my favorites growing up. I see they made a sequel to it... of course with that red devil being so popular.
