Comment: Thank you for your letter & hello fellow bookworm. I put myself to the goal of reading 13 books of 500+ pages and persuaded myself to continue the Outlander series by D. Gabaldon. It's very fast-reading, but the number of pages is intimidating (in Czech version it's always around 1200+ pages).
Response: I read the first 4 or 5 books in this series, unfortunately I think they loose it somehow, but I will come back and read all of them. 13 chunky books?!? Amazing. Hope they are fun! Thanks for the rating and the <3!

Comment: Technically I should be giving a 1 because you did not provide tracking information and the journal never arrived. In the spirit of the season, I'm going to rate you a 5 and be done. Next time, send with tracking information because the next person may not be as forgiving.

Damilola. Thank you so much for the personal junk journal swap. I enjoyed your journal.

debbiespoms on Jun 10, 2023:

Hi there! I sent you a message on June 7th, to do an Email heavy metal swap. Which I would love to do. Please get back to me as soon as you can.

heliogal on Feb 11, 2023:

Thank you so much for the wonderful things you sent me for the Forums Surprise Tag!! I really love everything you sent me- the wonderful tea and postcards and stickers!!!! Great mail to get!!

sassafrass on Jan 19, 2023:

Every time I see your avatar around the forums, I get a huge smile and laugh. House was one of the best shows on TV, ever! I have started watching it again from the beginning, for probably the thousandth time lol.

Have a wonderful day, fellow House fan!

DragonflyDreamer on Dec 2, 2021:

Greetings. I hope you are well. I have not gotten a response from you for two months now and the messages I've sent you remain unread. I do hope everything is OK. If you feel the need to simply cancel our swap, please just delete it. The last message I received from you said you were moving but I have not received your new address and therefore not mailed the journal for this swap. Please stop moving the due date and just delete the swap. Mayne once things settle down we can try it again. Be well.

I'm sending a letter your way after work today 🐌🌿

blanketfort on Jun 15, 2020:

Just got your letter, and I'm so excited, and eager to sit down and write back πŸ₯°
