Comment: I have "Rose Red" on a now-ancient two-part DVD, from long long ago, back when a DVD couldn't handle more than an hour. haaaa~ I do love that movie, but I can't help but to notice to the Stephen King tropes. I've read too many of this works! I would love to see "All that Consumes Us" or "The Hollow Places" as movies, but I think "The Hollow Places" is up there with "Hellraiser" and reminds me of "I have no mouth and must scream" in a lot of ways.

Response: Thanks for the heart! :) Yes, actually have lived in a few haunted houses, but not Amityville type hauntings, nothing harmful (for the most part - one did break a few drinking glasses). I think I saw someone call them "unseen roommates"! :)

I only knew about astral projection - I think- due to watching Charmed years ago, but it's a very interessting topic. But I don't think it's real and I guess it can be a small epileptic seizure or even sleep paralyses or lack of oxygen... But it's cool to think about nonetheless. :-) Have a great time, Maxi

Comment: Dear Cindi, another letter of you arrived today. XD And the hospital sounds like a scary place. Honestly, I'm not sure if I would like to do a tour there, but partly because I'm in Old buildings worried, the flour might broke down or other non-supernatural stuff happening. That's scary already! Yours, Maxi

Response: Yes, the building falling apart around you is a concern while touring old buildings! This one, I think, is kept up more, made for tours, so probably a lot safer! When I watch ghost investigation shows, I always think of all the dust and mold they are inhaling, too! :( Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Thanks for researching and writing the story of the Landmark Inn/ Hotel Northland. I find old grand hotels so fascinating. But the poor spinster librarian, I hope she can find her lost sailor at last or find peace being a single ghost. :) Like you wrote, there are so many haunted buildings at colleges too! At the one where I work anyway, there were genuine historic tragedies that aren't widely known now coupled with legends that the students tell for fun. Thanks again and also for sharing the tea!

Response: Yes, I felt badly for her, too. And her fiancé, going down with the ship. I remember hearing about a LOT of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes when I lived there. Thanks for the heart :)

(10.18.23) thank you for the podcast suggestions... I just realized and saw you had wrote a note on the back of the tuck in! I appreciate the ones being kid friendly, too, as I'm looking for alternative means of background noise and learning opportunities! The farmer channels just aren't hacking it at times!

If you can make it to the zoo in Tacoma look for the new male Sumatran tiger named Sanjiv. He was the father of the 4 cubs we had in 2018. I have been to the zoo in Colorado Springs once in 2019 and I got to feed the giraffes there. It was a great experience.

XD Yeah, kids can be really cruel and reading someones journal and than even "use" this knowledge against this person is one of the worst things you can do in my oppinion. - It happened to me as well and I felt devasteted by it. And I feel like almost everyone on swapbot is a little paper addicct and understands these aspects that are tempting, when seeing a new, blank and nice journal or page... XD Have a wonderful spooky october! Yours, Maxi

Comment: Hi Cindi, thank you for sharing recipes and info on this cookbook. Some of your family cooking styles parallel with mine. I love ketchup too and tomato based sauces. The challenge is my husband is prefers mustard styles and we tailor our eating to be able to tweak both ways. It makes it Interesting of course I don’t like mustard. Ha ha so your recipes are great for my preferences.

Response: I"m fine with pasta/tomato sauce or BBQ sauce, but I can't stand ketchup or mustard at all. Even the smell makes me ill. :( Not a huge fan of sauces in general, though. I'm quite the picky eater!! :) Thanks for the heart .

I get the feeling to a degree you described about military bases. Going near the naval base in San Diego gives me the heebie jeebies. Which is hilarious as I notice it right before we go over Coronado bridge. That thing moves so much. I live 20 mins from March ARB & at night it just feels different then the day.

Comment: Dear Cindi, thank you very much for this wonderful PC/letter and I love the rhino, but yes: I don't know about this series here in Germany. It's cute! XD A fond memory from my childhood is for example, when my grandfather was telling stories about his childhood and he was a wonderful story teller. One time he told me how he tried to play cowboy and tried to ride on his families pig, but the pig ate part of his socks and his mother was fuming, as he was already in his fine clothes for church. - When he told the story, he used to imitate even the riding and the bites of the pig! XD Have a wonderful week. Yours, Maxi

Response: My dad always told me stories when I was little, usually stories of him and his brother when they were little and getting into trouble. :) But sometimes he'd tell me stories he'd heard from his parents/grandparents, too. Not as funny as a pig eating part of a sock, though! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: I love the cheery yellow postalette! Thank you for the nice letter. I enjoy reading letters from you! I wish we could have cats, but with allergies, it doesn't work. We love our exotics, though. I am still on an emotional roller coaster. I thought I would be done with that, but nope. Lol I'm so sorry about your allergies. That's miserable. :-( I hope the air clears up soon.

Response: I'm worried I'll find out I'm allergic to the cats - I think my family would re-home me rather than the cats! Thanks for the heart :)

When I'm already travelling in the middle of the night in a desert, I didn't want to encounter any type of predator, let alone a playful cat with spikes like a cactus! o.O This will give me nightmares! XD That's truly fascinating. Yours, Maxi

Response: I'd never heard of it before, either, and I agree with you, I wouldn't want to encounter it at all, ever! I like cats, but I think I'll pass on cactus cats! :) THanks for the heart!

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful "wrecked" composition book and your letter!! I love the travel theme -- I might use this as my travel journal. And so much washi! And so many awesome stamps! And stickers! I love your Zentangle doodles as well. I'd never have known you were out of your comfort zone doing this if you hadn't said so. Thank you for an awesome swap!

Response: I am so very happy to hear you liked the book! I knew I'd never even fill half of it, so I was hoping to create something that you might want to add to, and I happened to have some travel themed scrapbook paper. I used glue tape to attach most of the items, so you should be able to remove the stickers and things to use, if you'd like to. :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Hello Cindi, thank you for journal. I loved the small packages inside. And big thanks for the unique postage stamps (I usually got the sunflower round ones :)

Response: I don't like to buy the round International stamps very often - they're really expensive to buy in a sheet, and can only be used for International mail, so I usually use regular stamps to equal the amount. Even though I don't collect stamps, I know lots of swappers do, so might as well make the package a little extra special, right? :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Thank-you for the note on a postalette. It's always fun to see what exists out there for different stationary as I am not sure any companies are actively making postalettes any more (I have a vintage stationary habit!). Also loved your date/weather/mood stamp!! I have mostly been learning about bees & beekeeping lately, I put my Masters on hold indefinitely because I just wasn't as passionate about it as time went on. Slogging through specialty programs is difficult enough even if a person loves what they are doing! Mostly just want to retire to my garden with my dog and the bees LOL! Losing our fourfooted friends is always so tough, I feel like they take up more time & space than we realize while they are here, so it can be a major adjustment when they leave us....Hopefully your cats are good company (ours are trouble unless they are asleep!). Have a wonderful summer!

Response: One reason I enjoy the postalette swaps so much is to see all the different varieties of the little notes! I don't usually look for vintage stationery (allergies make it tough) but it's so much fun to see all the different varieties! Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Even tho I watched all of Supernatural I’d forgotten there was a Tulpa episode until I read up on them for this swap (I’m currently re-watching Supernatural btw with my niece who’s recently discovered and become obsessed with it!) In my above forgetfulness I heard of Tulsa’s for “the first time” a year or so ago as the podcast Real Life Ghost Stories did an episode, which included the Philip Experiment . . .and was immediately creeped out! So I’m with you on it being a new thing to be frightened of!! I haven’t seen the Kindred Spirits “Zombie Boy” episode but do have it set to records I think. . .this upcoming week?! There’s been a bunch of episodes I haven’t seen airing lately, what timing to have it coming up as I read about it from you!

Response: I re watch Supernatural from time to time, but this came back to mind when I heard an interview on a podcast with Michelle Belanger, and she described her experience with creating a tulpa with the Paranormal State crew. The Kindred Spirits episode is pretty good, too. Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Thank you for the sweet letter -- I love the stationary! To answer -- I love Supernatural because I enjoy the evolution of Dean, as well as enjoying all of the storylines. We watched the series straight through during the Pandemic, so I watched every episode. I loved it! Currently I am reading "Educated" by Tara Westover, but I have been all over the place with my choices this year. I am doing the 52 Week Challenge, as well as setting my goal for 40 books this year on Goodreads. I still read some children's titles in there -- helps me catch up to my goal! As for competitive baking, I'm not sure why I started. I love baking, I love contests, so I thought I'd try. I just do things with our local fair, so not much competition. Not sure I could have the stamina for something like Great British Baking Show! Happy swapping!

Response: Oh wow, you really binged Supernatural! :) I started watching it on Netflix in 2012 I think, so I got to go at a slower pace. But you're right, there's a lot of development in the characters. I'm hosting a Supernatural fans swap right now, you might want to join. :) I read Educated a few years ago - that's one that I'm glad I read it, but it's hard to rate because wow, it's a lot! Like The Glass Castel by Walls - have you read that? Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Dear Cindi, I've never heard of the thunderbird before and I'm very fascinated by it! Well, there was one mentioning and this happened in the "phantastic beasts and where to find them"-franchise, but I had no idea this creature had a folklore background and I love it! A wonderful swap! ^-^ Thank you very much, Maxi

Response: I have a feeling that there are a lot of legends out there of animals that we just don't hear of very often, but they pop up in fantasy type novels and movies. Isn't that were most of Disney films come from? :) But really, I've heard that there are still a lot of histories and lore that were just never written down, passed by word of mouth, even still today. It's easy for a story to be edited or changed in that way, and harder to know what the actual origin was. That's why I love folklore so much - there's just so much history! :)

Comment: Thank you for the interesting postcard. Also, I appreciate the "Not every disability is visible" mental health awareness sticker. That's my field of work and awareness goes a long way.

Response: I'm a big supporter of Mental Health Awareness. I think it's just as important as physical health, and when the stigma is removed from 'getting help' or 'seeing someone' (and we change the usage of words like crazy, psycho, etc in our casual conversations), we can be happier, healthier, more productive people and society. And I think that mail is a great billboard - it's handed and seen by hundreds of people by the time it's delivered, so a little reminder that Mental Health is important can go a long way! :) I had a much better message written, but SB decided to eat it. Sigh.... Thanks for the heart! :)

Comment: First off, ty for hosting this! I hope there are more fp related swaps in the future c: Secondly, what is this paper you're using to write fp on because I cannot find any letter sets with good paper to sustain fp writing without it bleeding through. My go to is my TWSBI Eco, and I also love trying out new ink samples! I have not used a LAMY or a Pilot yet.

Response: I can't remember which paper I used for that letter, but I've found 'dearestnicky' and 'creative paper studios' (both on Etsy) have really nice paper that works with fountain pens. I think La Papierre sells some that is fountain pen friendly too. IT can be a trial and error, for sure! :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Hello there Cindi ! First swap ever from you. As I don't recall swapping with you. Anyway, Thanks very much for sharing the book you're reading, " Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella. I hope the book turned out good for you. As from the sounds of it, you're not sure you're a fan of hers. Sorry to hear that. You wouldn't like my genre. I'm into Sci. Fi., Fantasy, & Thrillers. I do know you like Paranormal books etc. As do I ! I read a lot of Ghostly books.

Response: I was disappointed in the book. It sounded a lot better than it was, I guess. Maybe it's meant for people who aren't really fans of ghostly, paranormal or thriller types of book. IT was ok. I do read thrillers, and I'm trying some sci fi and fantasy. Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Dear Cindi, oh, thank you very much for these paranormal personalities, it's so, so amazing to hear about them! ^-^ And it reminds me of the first paranormal show I watched as a child, X-factor with Jonathan Franks. I felt so scared and it the same time he had such a nice, warm German dubbed voice, like you would expect from someone telling you harmless fairy tales... what a wonderful contrast! (But I was afraid of looking in the mirrow at night for a long time. XD) Have a great time ^.^ Yours, Maxi

Comment: Dear Cindi, it's awesome to read your swap about aliens and thank you ery much for telling the personal story. I love it! Personally I feel the same like you: I do not believe in Aliens, but in UFOs (I mean it can be some mility stuff) and the thought of aliens is very, very creepy. In my parents generation I'm not sure if everyone even know this word, as these are far lesser known and in my generation more combined as part of the pop culture. Anyways, have a wonderful weekend! Yours, Maxi

Comment: Pasta Cobb salad sounds yummy! Love the postcard as well. I've been working my way through Supernatural for years. I start and stop so it's taking a while. I've been listening to so many audiobooks while doing other things that TV has taken a back seat. Thanks for swapping.

Response: I started watching Supernatural on Netflix around 10 years ago. Technically, I haven't finished b/c I got a spoiler about how it all ended, and just haven't watched the last 2-3 episodes. I love the research they did for the monsters and folklore in the show, so I do go back and re-watch old favorite episodes. I went on a bit of a buying spree and bought the postcards, notecards and so on, and have very few people to send them to! So I thought an anything-goes postcard swap might work out. :) Thanks for the heart!

Slavic gods and the places they once ruled are not very far from were I'm living, but christianity was very strict, when it started here in the 9th/10th century and not a lot of facts of Pagan gods are left by now.

Comment: Dear Cindi, I'm not tired of you writing about cryptids and spirits to me at all! XD In contrast; You did once again a very fascinating research and I couldn't help but feel stunned by it; I love to hear about the spirits and especially the waters ones... somehow water spirits are easily more scary: You have no idea whats beneath the surface and you are far slower than on land... really creepy! Have a great time! Yours, Maxi

Response: I find water spirits a lot scarier than land spirits. I'm terrified of water, though, so I figure that has something to do with it, but like you said, you never know what's below the surface! And I'm glad you aren't tired of my cryptid and spirt reports. :) Thanks for the heart!

The thought of a wild population of leopards or something like that in south england is scary, too! - So thanks a lot for charing this story with me. :-) Have a great easter! Yours, Maxi

Comment: Dear Cindi, you are truly spoiling me rotten! The goodies you`ve send are so cute, that I will use them for my personal diary only and the letter was so, so fascinating! I`ve never heard of manshaped dragons and only know of dragons (besides the usual fantasy novels) from the traditional German lore "Siegfried vs. the dragon", where the hero bathed in the dragons blood, so his body hardened and he was secured against any mortal weapon. Except for a small point at his back, were a leave felt and so no blood reached it. And he told this secret his wife and his wife somebody else... and in the end he was literally backstabbed. Than his wife goes on a rampage to avange him... it`s a strange story and in the end the dragon only played a minor role, while almost everyone in this legend dies anyways. Have a great week and thanks a lot for the swap! Maxi

We have fire under the sky of stars … or more often fog even rain around here! And dance. My dance community is specifically a non religious but spiritual or open to all or no religion as in atheists or agnostics. And I love them. But I have so many practices it would take books or volumes to write to you about them all! So I write here and there about this and that. Growing bulbs is always spiritual to me! And any seed. I love to make sprouts… such a quick turnaround. The mystery of life never ceases to amaze me.

Response: One thing I find extra interesting about swap bot is finding people around the world that you have things in common with. So many folks here I read their profiles and think "we'd probably get a long really well in person!" :) Thanks for raing. :)

Comment: Thanks, I love your stationery! I so wish more Lisa Frank stuff would come back. LF school supplies were pretty much the best part of school. I just found a vaporwave design trapper keeper at Target yesterday and was seriously bummed at the lack of Lisa Frank folders to put in it. I guess the "GenZ is bringing back LF!" hype was about tweens finding it in the attic, not more stuff getting reprinted.😭 Anyway, I think the slowdown was probably because of summer, wouldn't be surprised if things pick back up again in September.

Comment: Dear Cindi, thanks for your awesome swap and the amazing Supernatural stickers. I will only use them for my diary! *.* Also you take an the wendigo is fascinating, what a creepy creature! (I've seen and heard about it first in an old Charmed episode, but Supernatural later on did the better portrait.) I think in European we only have his relative, the werewolf, but the legend about cutting a boy in the hand to test for fat reminds me of Grimms fairy tale "Haensel and Gretel". There Haensel is kept in a cage to be eating by the witch, ones he is fat enough, but he keeps showing chicken bones to the witch with the bad eyesight and tricks her this way into thinking he is still thin. Anywaays, what a fascinating myth! And a good reason to keep out of forests. ^^° Have a wonderful weekend. Yours, Maxi

Response: Reading so much about different monsters and cryptids and so on, there does seem to be a lot of overlap, and overlap with fairy tales, too. Wonder which came first? OR what inspired what else? Hmm! When I think of all the time I spent, walking around the forest as a kid, all alone - and that thing was out there - scary! haha Thanks for the rating & heart. :)

Comment: Hi Cindi, Don't know why I could not receive this thru email probably something I did not know how to do But Pm ing me worked!! Thanks so much I think I would like the Ghost Belonged to Me by Richard Peck series so I 'll have to check it out. For this swap I am still reading Eva by Peter Dickinson for this swap so far I like it and it gives you a lot of things to think about. Eva was tragically Hurt very badly and she is in a coma, her brain survived her body did not, so her parents decided to put her brain into that of a chimp. There were empty spaces in the brain so some of the chimps brain is in there as well. What a sci fi book but so far I like it. I am reading next TheChangleling Sea by Patricia McKillip and The keeper os the Isis Light by Monica Hughes. Thanks for a great swap and for hosting this. Happy Reading!!

Response: The Ghost Belonged to Me and a few other series were favorites when I was little. They are fun to re-read, when I can find the books. Your book sounds interesting too! :) Thank you for the heart :)

Comment: Thank you for the swap! I enjoy reading YA and I do have to remind myself that these are adolescents making the best choices they can in a situation. It's not necessarily what an adult would do. I also read a juvenile fiction chapter book recently and I had to keep myself in check when I'd get frustrated by the way the children were taking on too much on their own. But I still rated the book 4 stars because I would have loved it when I was part of the proper demographic.

Response: IT's good to keep in mind what the audience is for any book. It's something I struggle with when I pick up books sometimes. Glad you enjoyed the swap :)

XD I wish you a great day! Yours, Maxi

Response: There's a book I read a few years ago called "Jinn and the Golem" I think, and I think that was an interesting depiction and different from the Disney versions of the characters. I'm still confused about Jinn, but it gives me something to research I guess! Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Dear Cindi, first of all: Thanks for hosting this important swap! I also think it's not talked about enought, as people here in Germany, for example, are still using terms from diagnoses as a joke are even to curse someone. I feel like it's getting a little better... but in the last years my friend group mostly consists of other psychotherapists, so I can't compare proberly. ^^° And thanks for the book recommodations! I knew "Sybil", but not the two other ones and I will for sure check both out! I realized it wont be my typical "good night book", but that's completly okay and i want to know the stories! I wish you a wonderful week and a nice june! :-) Yours, Maxi

Response: No, those books aren't good night books, but I thought they were really good. Even if not fully true, I still think it can give an insight. When I read more serious books like that, I usually have something light, like a cozy mystery, to read for a break. :) Thanks for the heart !

I wish you got a better Mother's Day though. I'm just getting my mom a card as I can't really afford anything else. Thanks so much for all the stickers! I really love the mental health ones! Where'd you get them?

Response: I try to ignore the holiday ads and things, but sometimes it's just too much. I'd gotten 8 mother's day ads before 6 am this morning, so it's really out of control! I got the Mental Health stickers at Oriental Trading - that online/catalog party store place. - they have good sized rolls of stickers for not too much cost, so it's easier to use and share them. :) IT's harder to part with those special stickers that are smaller amounts! I saw those a few years ago and thought 'more people need this message, and if I put them on the outgoing mail, more will see it!' so I've been doing that. :) Thanks for the heart :)

And I loved your stories of black dogs from around the world!

I think a lot of people aspect too much from "always loving something" in the definition of always being okay with t, never criticising it, never questioning it... but that's not the case. For example I think you can love yor body and still want to gain or loose weight, as long as it's happening in an healthy manner. - So yeah, I like your stationary! ^-^ I hope you have a great sunday!

Comment: Hello Cindi, Thanks for the lovely StPats card. I has to google the association of corned beef and St Pats day as i didnt think it was an irish dish! Very interesting. I have a tupperware pressure cooker that i now use to cook corned beef and potatoes. Its so quick and i love how the potatoes are cooked but dont crumble like when i used to boil it in a pot! Its not a big celebration in australia. Mainly in irish pubs and irish homes!

Response: This year I learned that corned beef for St Patrick's is an American thing. The Irish in the US couldn't find the - lamb, I think? - that they traditionally ate, but learned of the corned beef cut (apparently it's called 'corned' b/c the salt that was originally used to pack and keep the beef fresh looked like kernals of corn!) so they used that instead. Who knew?! :) Thanks for the heart :)

I highly recommend his books as audio books too - it's great to read them, but King has said several times that he feels that some books are best when read aloud. But, yeah, huge fan! :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Thanks a lot for your list! :) How did you like Agatha Christie's Murder in Mesopotamia? I was checking that book as well, but I haven't decided yet to read it.

Response: Murder in Mesopotamia isn't one of my favorites, but I do find it interesting as I also have an interest in archelogy (and was discouraged from exploring the interest, similar to how Agatha was.) The one podcast I listen to (Shedunnit show) talked about her archeology days & books and so I re-read the book. It's certainly different from "Mysterious Affair at Styles" or any of the others, but still good. Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Dear Cindi, thank you very much for this wonderful swap and the many interessting informations about St. Valentine! Before this swap, I also hadn't had an idea about him, except that he is also the patron for epilepsy as Valentine can be mumbled to "Fall-nit-hin", which means in modern German "Fall nicht hin" = "Do not fall". Have a great day and a very fascinating swap! ^-^ Yours, Maxi

Response: I did not know that about the German! So I just learned something too. :) Someone told me this year that he's also the saint for bees and that is what made me think - what else don't I know about holidays? Might be a good idea for a swap! :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Hello Cindi, your recipe came at the perfect time, because last weekend I went to our asia supermarket to buy mochi (Ich love mochi! XD) and couldn't resist to buy other, delicous looking stuff, e.g. ramen noodles and teriyaki sauce, even so I never cooked with either of these things! I wanted to look for ways to prepare these things for days (I mostly use the German website Chefkoch.de), but now I have a first recipe I want to try out! *.* I'm soo excited, I already wanted to go groceries shopping tomorrow and added the others things from your swap t my shopping list. So wednesday I will cook it! ^.^ By the way: I learnt cooking from my grandmother, which consisted of lots of sausages, meat and fat. I always liked cooking and love to try out new recipes! That's an awesome swap idea! Have a great day! Maxi

Response: I'm so glad the recipe was useful. :) Sometimes it's easy for me to forget that not everyone has access to some of the ingredients. :) In my family, in the spring & summer, we ate a LOT of fresh veggies, and fall and winter were more meat based. I still tend to cook like that. I hope the recipe worked out for you. Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Hello fellow Supernatural-fan! ^-^ It's awesome you picked the Golem to write about, as I actually hoped I would get a letter with this monster which is one I knew least of. I've read Gustav Meyrinks "The golem", but the story wasn't primary about the legend and it was more confusing than enlighting. But you're letter was and that's awesome! I knew from the connection with Frankenstein, but never thought about shabtis. - But, yes, you are right, Wow, that's a really old believe... Some years ago I was in Prague with my parents (its only ~ 3 h away from home) and little Golem-figures were one of the typical touristic stuff you could buy. My mother took one, believing it was a garden gnome... *gg* Have a great day! Maxi

Response: Oh I LOVE Prague!! I have only been once, a LONG time ago and would love to go back! (My dad's family came from near there.) I was surprised to learn all the details about Golem with Prague b/c I've read Czech lore and history for most of my life and never heard it before!! Have you heard of the book The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker ? I read it a few years ago & remember it being very good. Glad I could inform & entertain. :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Dear Cindi, time to rate the second letter and its as sweet and lovely as the first one! ^.^ I'm also not following a fandom straight, as usually its shifting from time to time, depending on my mood. Harry Potter is one of my favourites, as when the books came out in Germany, I was always as old as Harry in his newest novel and it was always just before my birthday, so for ~ 4 years in my teenage years, his story was part of my birthdays in these years. - So thanks a lot for the stickers and the awesome PC, as right now I'm really hyped for HP, because 2 friends and I booked the play around the 8th story in april and right now I'm rehearing the audio books and watching the movies, while I'm ill at home. - You just hit it perfectly! ^-^ Yours, Maxi PS: Brother Bear is awesome! (almost forget XD)

Response: I've heard from others that Harry Potter were the books that taught them to really love books or get into reading. Or like you, they were the same age and got to 'grow up' with Harry. So I can understand why that would be pretty special. For me, none of that applied, they were just the books we listened to in the car and gave me something to talk to my kids about for a while. I grew up with Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. :) And Brother Bear is totally underappreciated!! Same with Hunchback of Notre Dame, Emperor's New Groove (& Hercules, for that matter!!) Thanks for the heart :)

I was ill for some days and couldn't go to the mailbox and now I found this great letter in it. Wow, thanks! ^-^ It made me really, really happy! What you wrote reminded me, that I was at first a little scared to join swapbot, for 1. maybe being not good enough in English and so failing to understand my swappartner (or even worse: To write in English all by myself! XD) and 2. for not being crafty enough, while my main focus always was for the letters... - I'm glad I overcame this worries! ^.^ Have a great day and stay safe! Maxi

Comment: Thanks for all the info about February and National Tell a Fairy Tale Day! I definitely agree with some of the translations of the name for "February!" It's been icy and cold here and now it's very muddy as all the ice melts. I never have read the adult versions of the fairy tales; although, I knew they were not like the Disney versions! I need to read them sometime.

Response: If you can find it, get "The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, Jack D. Zipes (Translator)" copy - the cover is a dark brown with a woodcarving like illustration. VERY good and not at all what you expect! :) My kids loved it! Hard to watch Disney's Cinderella the same after that, but - it's worth it. :) The audio version is well done, too. :) The original Arabian Nights is an experience as well! - haha!!- Thanks for the heart :)

Hope you enjoy, nonetheless. Update: so fascinating. I learned about another type of Shape shifters - Aswang. They are human-like by day but transform into monstrous forms to harass and eat awake humans at night, especially pregnant women who are about to give birth. I also saw shapeshifters in one of the early episodes of Season 1 of Charmed.

Comment: Hello Cindy, Thanks for the lovely card. Im not one for cooking either! January was a good month for hatchlings, but i know quite a few didnt make it - they got eaten. I got a trail camera today to hang over the nesting box to see whats been eating them. Just have to work out how to operate it now! Thanks for the halloween PC and stamp and the BB8 stamp too!❤️❤️❤️

Response: Overall, I usually enjoy cooking. I just get tired of doing SO much all the time, I think. Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: I love Golden Books! There were hundreds around here at one time, but I did pass most of them on to other kids when my daughter grew up. It really was crazy to keep them all. A few favorites are still here though.

Response: When my kids were little, I bought used Little Golden books whenever I could find them and collected SO many - and read every one to them at least once! :) I kept some favorties, but donated the rest. Just too many to keep. But they are still favorites. And I love that line with the note cards, post cards, sticky notes and all. :) Glad you liked the card and thanks for the heart! :)

Comment: Thank you for this very insightful reading! First of all, this deck is adorable, I love the watercolour illustration style and cats are always a great addition to anything! The reading is quite on point, I'm feeling quite stagnant at the moment after quitting my job in September and lacking the motivation to do anything about it since. So it is super nice to hear that things will be moving forward! I've also been getting the reminder to stop doubting myself and this is another one. Thanks a lot <3

Response: I'm sorry you're having a hard time but I'm glad the reading was accurate! And, aren't the cats just great? :) The 'devil' card for that deck is a Golden Retriever and the 'death' card is the vacuum. :) Very funny. :) I hope you have a GREAT week. Thanks for the heart! :)

Response: I'm glad you liked it - I was worried it might not be Halloween-y enough. I've found, especially the last few years, that I really love that old re-printed, out of register stuff too. Some of the newer patterns that are printed wrong can be good too, though. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Dear Cindi, awww, your stickers are amazing, thank you very, very much for them! ^-^ I love so motives soo very much and wont use it for swaps, but instead for my personal diary. XD And the weird ginea pig-fact about switzerland is pretty cute. - I think it's now less, but in the 90s in Germany a lot of kids had 1 as a "easy pet for children" and I never found it a good way to teach children being responsible around such sweet, tiny animals, while at the same time ignoring their basic needs for at least one other fellow... Stay safe and have a great time, Maxi

Response: Glad you liked the stickers. :) I'm happy to share! I never had a guinea pig, but I did have hamsters when I was younger. They're so cute!! Thanks for the heart. :)

Comment: Hey Cindi, thank you so much for the truly awesome holiday cards! You have the best stamps, I'm totally in love with both the Yule Cat Krampus stamps - I've never seen anything like them before! I think we definitely have similar tastes/interests when it comes to the more unusual/darker side of culture :D I haven't read/watched much about Krampus, so your cards really intrigued me. It might be something I have to incorporate into my next Christmas somehow ;) I hope you had a great festive season, and wishing you all the best for this new year and beyond!

Response: Krampus is a bit difficult to find, I found the cards and rubber stamps on Etsy. I wish I'd gotten them earlier to really decorate my outgoing mail for the month. :) Look up the Yule Lads, too - they are rather interesting! :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Thank you for introducing me to a new Christmas Cryptid! I'd never heard of the Yule Lads before. Interesting read! We've got something kind of similar in Norway, we call them Fjøsnisser. I like to translate Fjøsnisse to Barn Santa, because they're basically tiny, bearded creatures that lives in barns year round. I think the proper translation is Tomte though. We also have the Elf on the Shelf here. We call him Rampenissen, or the mischief tomte/santa. He usually comes to my kindergarten to the children's delight. They especially love it when the milk changes colour, or when Rampenissen has prepared lunch but put all the plates UNDER THE TABLE, WOOOW! 😅 And thank you so much for the recommendations, I'm putting everything on my list! 😊

Response: Maybe the kinder Yule Lads can visit your classroom this year. :) There are some folk tales from Japan I'm looking forward to reading - they're only newly translated. I can't begin to imagine what might be included there! Thanks for the heart :)

Response: I've only seen 2-3 episodes of His Dark Materials, but I want to watch it all when we've finished the books. The books are - wow! We are listeneing to the audio and following in the text and I think it helps me understand the fantasy aspects. The audio version has a full cast, too, and the author does the narration of the in-between bits, so it's really, really well done. I would recommend it! I can see how some would be put off or offended a bit by some of the material, but it's really a good story. :)

Have a wonderful last day of November! ... Karla, 11/30; UPDATED: Cute card, Cindi. And no I don't mind funny cards at all. I'm sorry your Peanuts cards were covered in glitter. I love glitter! 😂 I hope you find a way to pass them on. You can just create a Glitter Christmas Card Swap with enough partners to send them all on! 😂 Oh. But then you'll be getting that many cards with GLITTER back! 🥺 Nix that idea. LOL. I just LOVED the vintage ornament postcard you enclosed. I was going to order some vintage Christmas PCs online just for that PC. So I loved seeing it in your card. Thank you! Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄😊

Oh, Me too love the Old fashioned Christmas PC's ! I have a whole set of them, that I've yet to use & send out. Like you, I love cooking! But this year, I won't be able to do it and both sides of the family aren't cooking either, due to Covid around here. Everyone is just staying home. So, We are ordering take-out day before and will have for Thanksgiving. Not the same I know. But we gotta eat, ha! You take care and I hope you & yours have Spectacular Thanksgiving day!

Response: A few years, when my husband was gone during the holidays, I just got a small turkey breast for dinner, ate some leftovers and froze the rest. Not the same, but not too bad. Now I make the turkey breast in the slow cooker with carrots and potatoes and gravy, so it's kind of a one-stop meal! Very handy! Hope you have a nice holiday :)

Comment: 13 is still a great number! What didn't you like about The Ex Hex? Thanks for sharing!

Response: To be honest, it might just be me. I haven't enjoyed many newer books lately, and I'm pretty picky about books dealing with witchcraft and spellcrafting and the like. It didn't work for me. Hopefully, you'll love it if you read it. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Thanks for sharing your books! The Ex Hex is actually on my tbr so now I'm a little worried about how good it is LOL

Response: To be fair to the book - I've seen lots of great reviews, so it's probably just a 'me' thing. I am pretty picky about books containing casual 'witchcraft' or spellcrafting. Also, I haven't enjoyed many newer books in recent months, so it's probably all me. I hope you get the book and love it! :) Thanks for rating!

Comment: Thanks for sharing! Is there a way to turn off approvals on Netgalley? Anyway, I've avoided the Golden Compass too, mostly because I don't usually like middle-grade books.

Response: I avoided middle grade books until I started listing to them with my kids, when they were much younger. Then I discovered that there are some really, really good books out there for younger kids - and got SO jealous for kids today and all the great books they have to choose from! haha We are very slowly watching the Golden Compass TV series from HBO now and it's really good too. so if you're around littler ones, it might be a good time to try it out. :) Thanks for the heart!

Response: Small world! I meant to look up to see where your town was when I addressed your card and forgot. We live on the McChord side of the base and are currently overrun with deer! ha! Madigan is a huge hospital! For a base, at least! :) Thanks for the heart. :)

Comment: Hello Cindi, thanks for your awesome letter about the Halloween happenings in your childhood and today. In Germany it's still rather small, but just today I saw an inventation for a Halloweenparty for kids at the bus stop, organised by our city, so maybe there es still hope we will celebrate it more in future! ^.^ With best wishes, Maxi

Response: I saw today someone commented that the reason people (Americans) enjoy Halloween so much is that it is a holiday to spend time with friends and having fun, being silly, rather than the holidays that revolve around being "forced' to spend time with family and buying gifts. I wonder how true that is? It has certainly gotten to be a LOT more popular in the last 20 years!

Comment: Dear Cindi, Thank you SO MUCH for your Tarot reading. It made perfect sense to me! When you did the reading, I was facing a ton of stress and also anxiety. Mostly due to work. (Luckily, I'm having 2 weeks off, so a little time to recharge). I've also been having quite a few arguments, with someone else but also kinda with myself. So much worry, disappointment and despair. But everything feels a lil lighter again. Your reading made me feel seen and helped to hang on during those dark times. Thank you so much <3

Response: I'm sorry to hear you are going through 'stuff' but am glad it wasn't me messing up the reading! I hope you are doing well and feeling better, continuing to feel lighter again. :) Thanks for the heart. ((Hugs))

In any case, I am glad that I did finally get them because they look really cool. I am a real sucker for travel brochures and hope that soon I am out on a trip and haunting a visitor's center somewhere.

Response: Yeah, the package didn't have any marks on it as to where it was hanging out - I used a flat rate mailer, one of the document ones, so maybe that's why it didn't get to you? Who knows? I kinda think it was here at our base PO b/c they sent me a coupon for postage reimbursement the next day. It's a mystery Scooby Doo! Most of those are things I picked up when we stopped at hotels for the night, rather than places we have actually gotten to go to. :( Thanks for the heart :) And it's good to know it actually arrived - this time! :)

Comment: Thanks for your PC and message. I havent made bread since i gave my breadmaker away about 10 years ago! I remember when i was a child and dad got called out in the night to fix something at the bakery, he would come home with piping hot bread fresh out of the oven and we would spread on the butter and watch it melt and then put some vegemite on it - it was so yummy!

Response: I bought a breadmaker a few years ago and still use it a lot in the fall and winter, when we have lots of soups and stews for dinner. But our houses usually seem to be too chilly or drafty to get bread or yeast things to properly rise. :( The bread maker makes it SO much easier! :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Hello Cindi, it's always wonderful to find another swap of you in my mailbox! ^.^ I must confess: I'm also not the biggest fan of cryptids and monsters, even so I learnt to enjoy them, like in the TV series "Supernatural". And just like you, I liked the first seasons most, but was also hyped for the first fight against Luzifer. Bigfoot on the other hand... nah, he never became soo popular in Germany (or maybe Europe in general, Idk), but Nessie is famous and well beloved. XD As a teen I was more Team_Vampire, but later settled in the middle of it, between Team_Werewolf, too. *g* But overall I wasn't as much in Vampires and Werewolfes combined as maybe into ghosts or angel/demon-stories. So I feel with you. ^.^ Thanks for this awesome letter and the great swap idea in general! Have a great day, Maxi

Response: I am a fan of Supernatural! Some of the monsters they fought I thought were well researched and I'm a total nerd for the lore. :) Dean's pretty cute too. ;) I never really liked all the 'monsters' and all that, or vampires, aliens, etc, but you can't avoid them, I guess!

Comment: Hi Cindi, your swap has arrived today. Wow, your letter gave me strong goosebumps. No, not because it was about Stephen King, but because of the story you shared. It touched me. I can totally understand why you would like to have a talk with him. Even more so as I am deeply interested in consciousness. I had a severe head injury as a child but I don't know how much my brain was affected. Anyway, that was a marvellous swap idea and I deeply enjoyed it! It's so great when people (like Stephen King) find the exact words to describe something which you know so well. For me it brings relief and I guess it is about being understood. We can cope with so many challenges if we only feel understood. I have never picked up one of Stephen King's books because I consider them too scary for me, but I must admit that Duma Key sounds intriguing. PS: Very lovely ink colour and thanks for the bird bookmark 🦜

Comment: Fun that you got my daughter's book! Loved your letter, the card was really cute. I haven't been able to find historical fiction lately. I keep going back to Christian romances. I found Carla Kelly, and some of hers is regency romance, but she puts in a lot of history in her books. My neighbor is our city librarian, so I'm going to ask her for recommendations. Things have pretty much re-opened up here...but I still haven't been able to get to the library to browse the shelves. Yard and garden work tend to take over every bit of time in the summer! Thanks for the letter! Loved it.

Response: I actually just got the book back from my daughter and read it over last weekend. Very good! I plan on ordering the next book soon. Our library doesn't have the books, but I have suggested the series to them, maybe more can try them out. :) I haven't read regency romance, but I do read quite a bit of historical fiction - think I'm a bit 'burned out' on WWII eras, though. Do you ever try audiobooks while you're gardening? I like to listen to the birds sing when I'm outside, but there are some very nicely narrated historical fiction books. :)

Comment: Thank you for sharing your thought on the book! It does sound like a very interesting one, but it's true that I never heard of this series or author around here (which doesn't mean she isn't published here, maybe I just wasn't looking). Regarding the list... I don't even want to think about my own "cemetery" of forgotten ebooks hahaha it's easier to focus on the ones that have a physical presence around me =P

Response: Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Hello Cindi, I just prepared the next swap for you and when I opened my mailbox, I found your awesome card in it. Thanks a lot for this! ^.^ I've never been to a "haunted house"-tour, too, but yes, we have so many old castles and buildings in Germany, that it's impossible to not visit a place where some tragic accident, murder or other incidents happened, so as part of a "normal" castle tour, I often heard of stories, like "Oh, by the way, the earl was so mad of his wife cheating on him, that he stabbed her right in front of this window." or "(true story in Dresden!) "the princess was declared mad and buried alive by building a wall in front of her door and leaving only a small window for food and water; sie died after 2 years imprisonment and it's her bedroom, where we are standing right now. :-)" It's often just told like every other story, too, and only after you started to think about it, you have this "ohh..."-moment. XD Anyways: Thanks a lot for the selfmade card and have a wonderful day!

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the card. :) Often times, history and hauntings overlap so much, we don't stop to think about it! Well, maybe not hauntings exactly, but tragic events. Some parts of the US have seem so much trauma, you can barely take a step without being on land where someone died. :( I can't help but think some of that energy remains.

Comment: Hi Cindi! Thank you for the great card and washi. I was surprised how many of the books I'd read from this decade, too. Or at least saw an old movie version of. I started listening to The Little Princess the other day and literally just paused it to open your card. :) I remember the Shirley Temple movie, and I think I also read it ages ago, but it's worth another listen. I'm also reading The Souls of Black Folk this summer, and maybe Sister Carrie since it's been on my shelf for eons. I added the House of Mirth to my TBR list because of this swap, too. My recommendation was for Call of the Wild because when I was a kid I loved that book and wanted to move away to the wilds of Alaska and have grand adventures with Buck. This is a really cool idea for a swap series. Thank you for doing them!

Response: I do remember the Shirly Temple Little Princess! I think I liked The Secret Garden more than Little Princess, but both titles were frequent re-reads or re-watches in my childhood. I think I added House of Mirth to my re-read list too. :) I'm glad you like the idea for the swap. I listen to a podcast called Shedunnit, about Golden Age Detectives (specifically female authors) and the host mentioned that she had read a detective novel from each decade and then compared how the story lines changed and so on. That's where my idea came from. I might actually have to try that for myself sometime. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Wow, I loved reading your stories! My mum has actually taught me that I should walk through a new place and talk like you described, just in case there's something funny going on. I've done it ever since. Just a simple "Hello, I'm moving in here now. Please don't scare me to death." (well, not exactly like that :p) The story about your great grandpa was really nice, and made my heart happy. He just wanted to help out, bless him. And I'm really curious about the house in your second story (when you and your husband lived in a old house that was converted to flats). I wonder what happened there ... certainly sounds dramatic! Looks like you've had an abundance of ghostly experiences in your life - I would love to hear more about them :) Also, I love the "thank you USPS"-stamp on your envelope. I feel postal workers everywhere has been working like heroes during this pandemic. And thank you for the extras - absolutely love the "Born to EXTERMINATE"-Dalek, and the mental health awareness stickers :)

Response: Yes, when I stop to look back, I realize I'm more haunted than I thought! haha Thanks for the heart :)

Maybe it's not the healthier way to deal with something that's supposed to be enjoyable, so I totally support your decision! Don't feel like you owe us anything, if you don't feel like doing it anymore, don't =) You have my support, at least, if it counts.

Comment: THANK YOU! For the stickers and bookmark! And, YES, I am a military kid! I am truly grateful for the work my mom put into being a military member and military wife. Only now at 32 do I fully realize what that must have been like for her and I tell her "thank you" a lot more often now. She also had to deal with a child with cancer. I feel like you two should connect. She's from the NW, but lives in Utah now. She's up there quite often tho! LMK if you'd like a connection. I still have family in your area :D

Response: My husband and kids joke with me that I'm like Sherlock Holmes, reading profiles and detecting who may be a military family .... They like to tease my love of mysteries, though. Really, until you live the military family life, I dont' think you really understand what it's like to move and move and move and start over just as many times. And it affects so many different parts of life, too - like doctors, mental health providers, dentists and all the rest. Thanks for doing the swap, and thanks for the heart :)

It’ll be my first time doing a journal-type swap so I’m glad I can see yours for inspiration first. :p

Response: I'd meant to go with the theme in the page I linked, but then found that printable and I just loved it too much! haha Yes, I love ghosts and spooky images. Joe Hill is a master! Right?

He's in a deep sleep at the moment, but at the back there's like 4 or 5 babies crying really loud in other rooms. So the crying together with the spooky pages... well it's definitely something I'll remember. :p Thanks for getting me something to read this night, I was going bananas with the crying. No worries about the writing, I can still read it. Believe me, you don't classify as a bad writer. Over the course of my 'Swap-botcareer' I've received writing styles I had to unscramble with a magnifying glass. Thanks for sharing.

I have read the book once and listened to the audio book twice. I am in love with Jerome Wireman! This was a great swap!

Response: So, I like to put the Tim Holtz paper dolls in odd places around the house to spooky my kiddos a bit. :) IT's a bit of a 'pay back' from times my daughter 'haunted' me with her American Girl doll. :) :) And Duma Key - OMG, I love that book! I've read it a few times and listened to the audio at least twice. Not only is Wireman THE BEST character, but King's description of brain injury is just so spot on! My son has gone through some similar issues and when we listened to the book together, he said "wow, he gets it - that's what it feels like" That book is just SO much - the characters, setting, description, plus ghosts and hauntings and history and - wow! I"m glad you enjoyed the swap, and I thank you for the heart :)

XD I was much the same with writing "letters" at a young age- I have envelopes full of notes my granny (great grandmother) and I wrote back and forth to each other when I was preschool aged. Her handwriting is IMPECCABLE and I just love looking back over them. I hope youre well! <3 Al

Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked the Dolly Parton card. :) I grew up listening to her music. :) My grandmother also had beautiful handwriting - my mom, not so much! Me? Even worse! But at least we learned handwriting in school - my kids did briefly, at one school, but the next school didn't continue it, so they struggle a bit. Thank you for the heart :)

Comment: Hi Cindi, Thank you so much for your lovely letter. I have enjoyed, over the last 3 swaps, learning a little bit about you through the 3 letters. After all the letters have arrived, I plan to put the letters together in a collection and made into a book. I apologize for taking extra time in getting your rating done for this swap. I very much appreciate your completion of this swap and getting it off to me in a timely manner. Colorado is still having problems with the mail. Mail going in and out of Colorado is continuing to be an issue. So, until this issue is resolved, please Be Patient! Thank you for the stickers you sent along as extras.

Comment: Hi Cindi, Thank you so much for your 2nd letter you sent me for this swap. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your letter and learning more about you. My surgery went well, but I've had a lot of fallout after the surgery. I've had a post-op infection, an allergic reaction to all the tapes they've used, and I've had and still have a lot of post-op pain which is continuing. I have a longer than usually recovery ahead due to slow healing, continued post-op pain, and getting use to my new pain-lowering device. I appreciate your patience with me as I play a little bit of catch-up. Colorado continues to have mail issues. Mail in and out of Colorado continues to be slow. Please Be Patient. Barbara B. sleepingrover2010

Response: Thank you for the heart :) I hope you are feeling well and healing :)

Comment: It's awesome that you read books as a family project, that's so much fun. I wish I could convince my husband for that. XD So sad you didn't enjoy it though. I also had this book on my TBR as it's a classic, but now that I'm reading your review, I don't think I'll still read it. I tend to think very black and white with things like adultery, but I also find it hard to read that people are being treated badly. I would probably feel conflicted the entire time. :o Thanks for sharing!

Response: Growing up in the midwest of the US, it seemed like everyone had the same few names. Moving around more, and through the internet, I'm learning so many different names, and have 'met' a few who go by a pen name or a name of their own choosing. Either way, you have a very cool name. ;) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Hi Cindi, Thank you for the unique postage stamp postcard you sent me for this swap. I collected stamps when I was a school age kid. However, when I started college and went on into my work, I didn't continue the hobby. I have really enjoyed the InCoWriMo 2021 #1 and #2. I have always wanted to participate, but this year is the first year I have been able to do so. Thank you for hosting the swaps. I really enjoy writing letters and sending cards to family and friends, with a nice long note, for birthdays, special occasions, and holidays. So, like you, I always have a stack of letters or cards to do some writing in for someone. I certainly enjoyed being your partner again for this swap. I learned a little more about you and what you like to do. I hope we can swap again. Happy Swapping until we meet again! Barb B. sleepingrover2010

Response: So glad you enjoyed the swap and liked the post card. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: "Are you being served?" is def in my top three all time fave TV shows. I grew up watching it on our local PBS station, must have been in the late 80s or early 90s. I even liked the sequel show, I think here in America it was just called "Are You Being Served Again" I didn't ever realize there were books until you mentioned it and I've just gone strait to amazon to order a used copy of one! Mrs Slocumbe and Mr Humphries are my favorites, especially Mr Humphries deep voices when he answers the phone "Mens-wear."

Comment: Hi Cindi, Thank you for hosting these swaps for this particular project. I have always wanted to participate in these swaps, but the time has never seemed right, but this year finally worked out. I have been in the Colorado Springs area a lot over the last 25-30 years. I moved here in Feb. 2020 from ABQ, 5 years after we(my brothers-2 and sisters-2 and I lost our mother -81 in 9 months) to a rare form of uterine cancer that attacks women in their senior years. I stayed in ABQ for awhile, but then moved up to the Springs to be closer to some of my family. We are all Air Force "brats." I enjoyed the life as a kid, other than not maintaining friends in each duty station. I have friends in ABQ because that was where I worked until I became disabled. What does your husband do in the Air Force, if you can share it? How many times have you moved? What is the average time at each duty station? It was a pleasure to have you as a partner for the first time on Swap-bot. I hope we have many more times to swap with one another. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping!! Colorado mail in and out of the state has been slow as well as I am also awaiting a special form of low back surgery to keep my chronic pain at a Level that is tolerable. I am sorry for the delay.

Response: I started reading Good Omens, then I just knew that the whole family would enjoy it, so I stopped reading and we started listening to it together, and the narration was so good! Really added to the effect, since it was a bit 'too British' at points. I thought it would be enjoyable - I mean, Neil Gaiman!!! - but we all enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the heart :)

But I also watched Supernatural, and on that show, Crowley was played by Mark Sheppard (another actor I enjoy) and I loved that character SO much on the show, I struggled picturing Crowley as both the Supernatural version and David Tennant! haha I admire the acting range Tennant has, though, so I'm sure he'll do an amazing job. :)

Comment: Thanks so much for sharing! You've been writing letters for a long time!

Response: Yes, maybe too long. :) When someone asks me 'how do you write a letter?' or "why do you write letters?" it stops me because it's just part of who I am, if that makes sense. It never really occurred to me to not write letters. (and I've been teased plenty about that, too!) I've been a letter writer more of my life than a reader, which most don't believe.

Comment: Hello again! "Good Omens" has come up in several swaps over the last few months, so I may have to check it out. I agree with you - the book is generally better. Also, thanks for the suggestion for "Horrorstor" - read it in 2 days and loved it! And thanks for the adorable valentines - I love them! Take care and happy reading! :)

Response: I saw Good Omens on lists and recommendations for years and wish I'd read it so much sooner. It was a lot of fun, and all 5 of us enjoyed the book a lot. Horrorstor was unique, right? :) I certainly got a different story than expected, but I keep an eye out for that author now. Thanks for the heart :)

Response: We haven't visited Mt Rainier yet, we moved here just before the pandemic started, and the trails were closed for a lot of last year, so we haven't seen it up close and personal yet. But it's an amazing sight when we catch a glimpse! It's not Pike's Peak (we lived in Colorado Springs for a few years and saw the Peak every day!) but it's still very pretty. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Thank you for your list of books--I've read some Christie, and I definitely need to read more! I read book 8 of the Plum Series. I got a box of the books from eBay like 10 years ago, and every once in a while I grab one out and read it. Thanks for the stamps, too!

Response: I didn't like Christie for a LONG time, but now I'm totally in love with her writing. The audiobooks really grab me, too. :) She really was a master! :) And the Plum books .... eh. I've read them all, but after book 8 or so, it was just the same thing again and again, or so it seemed. There doesn't seem to be any progression in her character or the story line, which I find annoying. Some long-term character lines (the In Death series by Robb, the alphabet series by Grafton) actually have character development, and they're wonderful. I think I keep reading the Plum books just so I can read when it ends! haha. They're easy to get from the library, too, so no danger of actually having to pay for the book. haha

This community and your other R&W community feel like nice small intimate communities to me and thank you for inviting us in and keeping things going. We appreciate you.

Comment: Ahhh just the other day I was skimming through all my e-books and I thought of adding a few more to my TBR but in the end, I didn't. In the past few weeks I started reading e-books during my lunch-time, following your advice (does it count as advice? what you wrote for the "More reading time & goals" swap) and it's been working pretty good, so perhaps I'll start with those as off-list readings, for a change. So nice to meet Ben! He looks so snuggly! ^_^ I also hope to stop buying books, but having no other real needs or urges at the moment, whenever someone gives me a bit of money as a present, that's where it always ends up xD At least I'm not spending _my_ money =P But now that the holiday season is over, I'm sure it'll be at least a few months until I buy anything else. Anyway, this perhaps should have better been an email than a comment here, sorry for the length. Happy New Year!

I'm with you on fantasy - the only series I've ever really liked was "Lord of the Rings" and mostly just for "The Hobbit"! :) I do still love Tom Sawyer, but Mark Twain's one of my fave authors. Thanks so so much for all the extra goodies! You're the best! xoxo

Response: Yes, Lord of the Rings was rather epic, but took me FOREVER to get through. I don't know why I have such trouble with fantasy like that, but am totally OK with mythology, but there you go. :) Tom Sawyer was better than I expected, and I'm going to add Huck Finn to next year's plans, I think. He's written much more than I thought!

Take care and thanks for another great swap! :)

Response: I'm glad you liked it. :) I think people stopped making afghans because they are so time consuming! haha But, keeping my hands busy with the yarn kept me from phone scrolling - or eating! - so that was probably a good thing! Paper is SO MUCH easier to work with, though! haha! Thanks for the heart :)

Response: Please don't feel guilty! I did enjoy the book, and the world building. I always struggle with fantasy type books, but do usually end up enjoying them. Maybe because I work harder at them? Earlier in the year, I read a few long classics, and in mixing in regular books, too, those books took 2-3 months to finish. I just didn't take as much time with this one, and focused on just that one book. It was nice to do something different, too. So, I did enjoy the book. :) And, at over 1000 pages, it was almost equal to 3-4 'regular' books! :)

Comment: Thank you so much! I'm with you - I think it's awful that so many books are banned simply because the content makes adults uncomfy. Maybe we need to start having some uncomfortable conversations with our kids for things to get better! And Judy Blume? How would I have even grown up without her?!? I may try to read "The Absolutely True Diary..." at some point, but right now I need a break and am sticking with "light" reading. Lol You had a great list, though! And thanks for the extra goodies. <3

Response: Most of the reasons for banning books are just silly, to me. I honestly can't think of a time I've read a book and thought "woah, no one should read that!" For me, I think a 'warning' would be better. But the whole process needs to be updated, I think. I can't think of how I ever could have grown up without Judy Blume! Same with Beverly Cleary - the Ramona books are on the lists too, and that's just beyond dumb to me. "The Absolutely True Diary ..." is certainly not light reading! wow. I mean, it was good, and I'm glad I read it, but wow! Thanks for the heart :)

Response: I may enjoy James Marsters narrating more than Jim Butcher's actual story, I'm not sure. But I've mostly enjoyed all of the Dresden books so far. And Killing November .... eh. I'm not sure I really like that author all that much. I listened to her previous books, too, and I'm not sure I would have really even loved them when I was a teen.

Comment: Thank you for the nice note, cards and Sally Ride stamps - I never had those before! I would have laughed at the Frozen card - that's actually a movie I liked (I have not seen many of the animated films) but I have not seen the 2nd one, I doubt I will, but the song, "Let it Go" was the catalyst in me quitting my job 3 1/2 years ago. After listening to it over and over and belting it out (my poor neighbors) I sat down and sent a resignation letter - it was so exhilarating! So whenever I hear that song I think of my "old" life (job at the animal shelter that seriously stole my soul and my happiness). But I am happy now, that's all that counts, right? :) Take care and have a great day!

Comment: I'm glad you are getting some curbside services, and I hope you can return books again soon! Curbside is quite a hustle where I work, so I can see that some libraries are having to adapt and figure out what they can manage.

Response: Our base library has reopened for almost everything - they host reading buddies and story time on Face Book videos still, but you can go in and browse and get books. But the off base libraries are still all closed here. At least I can get some different books, though, so I'm very grateful for that! I go in 2-3 times a week! haha! Hope yours opens soon!

I like the Percy Jackson books, along with lots of other YA books. And I've always been intrigued with Native Americans and their traditions. Have you ever read the Jim Chee/Joe Leaphorn series by Tony Hillerman? It's about a Navajo policeman who solves mysteries. Really great series.

Comment: I always enjoy reading how full of books your life is! ~ Why am I not surprised that the one book by Stephen King was one of your favorites? ;P ~ I remember having the same struggles with the names in Ana Karenina, and it wasn't until some years later that I got an explanation. I wonder why I never thought of finding it out before. ~ If you just don't like a book, for whatever reason, you have to be honest about it. Sometimes a bad review is much more honest and points out to the flaws and adds a more interesting edge to the discussion than a 100 good reviews that repeat themselves over and over. ~ Yes, reading dystopias right now might not be the best idea =| But, more than ever, they can provide a lot of food for thought ~ And, since you're curious, on April I read Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton, and The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett =)

I almost read her for this too, but then I switched to Ain't I a Woman, a collection of poems edited by Illona Linthwaite. It's very good. I also didn't know Agatha Christie wrote poetry! Thank you for including that one with your letter. I love the way it flows like water in a stream. I really enjoyed reading your letter. Thank you!!

Comment: Well, I must admit that even though I've seen the creature and Frankenstein inserted in different retellings and into other stories, and it's such a given in popular culture in general, and I've read and seen a recent movie about the author, I never actually read the book! xD I guess is one of those classics that is so present in our culture that one forgets to actually go to the source. I'll see if I can find a copy. I hope this new month brings you a bit more of quiescence. Or at least, enought time to take a nap here and there :)

Response: I'd read Frankenstein way back in high school, and didn't really like it all that much. But like you say, it's referenced all over the place. Going back and taking lots of time and having an amazing narration was a really good experience. Going back and re-reading some classics has been a really good experience for me - wish I'd done it sooner! :) I think you prompted me, though! :)

Response: ha - yeah, I tend to devour books. And audio books. My totals wouldn't be as high if not for audio books. The Read Harder challenge is giving me trouble, though. Hope it's going well for you!

Comment: LOVE the book pages & envelopes, thank you!!! I sent the journal out last week. I *think* it might have gone media mail as I said it was a book, so a few more days and hopefully it'll show up.

Response: Yes, it DID show up, the day after I sent the letter. I meant to message you and totally forgot. :( Sorry about that. But I've been told that you cannot send notebooks or journals book or media rate because they aren't 'real' books. And my PO here will and does open and inspect all book & media mail packages and charge me the difference. I trade books by mail, and it's really annoying that they open them all because they damage the books often, and they arrive about a week later than they should. :(

Comment: Thanks for the very nice letter. Unfortunately, my phone is so old, I cannot download books nor listen to them thru my phone. I also do not have an MP3 player. My car has only a CD player no jacks for the MP3 or phone. But I will keep in mind your advise over the Library downloads. I am looking forward to trying those recipes you sent. Again, thank you for a very nice letter. Looking forward to seeing you in the mailbox in the future.

Response: I think you've told me that in the past. I remember thinking about it as I wrote. It is handy to have the ability to borrow and download, but I think most of the time I'd be happier to have a more basic phone - and a lower monthly bill! But my husband doesn't agree, so ... And I hope you enjoy the recipes. :)

Comment: Hi Cindi! Yes recently I joined Postcrossing and I enjoy it. Thank you for the bookmark. Often I misplace the ones I have or lose them! It’s something I can always use!

Response: I hoard book marks like a fiend! But I use them, too, have them all over the house so I won't be tempted to use a pencil or something and hurt the book spine.... Those little post it tabs are wonderful as well. :) I don't underline or highlight books, so I use those a lot for favorite passages too.

I seem to have several of those on my shelf this year, so we'll see how I do. :) One of the Unread Shelf prompts is a 'buddy read' - maybe that can be the book! :)

Comment: I think the celebrity Tyreese also has the same fear of owls like you do. He can't look even look at images of them or he completely melts down. I forget where I saw that. They were messing with him on some show. Of course he didn't find it humorous at all. There are owls all over my house at night, so I guess you wouldn't want to come and have dinner. LOL

Response: I don't think I've heard of anyone else with a fear of owls, so it's good to know I'm not alone. Most people think I'm being silly - but fears can't always be explained, can they? We lived in places that had a lot of owls, and I worked really early in the day, so I'd see them swooping around on my way to work & it always scared me. A few times they'd be in the parking lot when I'd get to work & I'd have to run to the door! IT wasn't fun. I"ll skip visiting you at night - high noon might be better!

Response: Wow, 40, huh? When I looked at some of the books I'd hoarded - er, collected - to read, I realized it didn't sound very good after all. I can see the benefit from a regular 'unhaul'. Here's to a great reading year. :)

Comment: I'm with you on the reading aloud/audiobook idea. I often find that I prefer to read non-fiction aloud, especially if it deals with difficult issues. I read a book this summer called Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture. It was a tough read, but reading aloud helped give voice to the people in the text.

Response: Yes, sometimes hearing the story aloud gives a new view to the story, and even with fiction books, I think it helps me to slow down and pay attention to the whole story. I've found when I have a book that I'm having trouble understanding (like The Martian!) doing 'submersion reading' - reading the text while listening ot the audio - really helps me get into the story. I know not everyone likes audio books, but sometimes it's the ticket for me to get into the story. Thanks for the heart and rating. :)

Response: Glad the other cards arrived as well. :) It seems so many post cards go missing, I don't send them out 'naked' much anymore. Good luck growing your collection. :) Thanks for the hart :) :)

Response: I was surprised at how many books I went through in Sept & Oct too. I felt like I didn't read at all! I really liked The Institute. Some reviews were really harsh on it, but I enjoyed the story. :) I don't love ALL of his books, either. :) Thanks for the rating and the heart :)

Comment: I'm sorry the book wasn't as enjoyable as you thought it would be =( Do you think younger kids would like it, though? I've read in the last months some YA/middle grades books that I didn't like much but that I believe my younger self would've enjoyed. I hope the books you're waiting for are really good! =)

Response: I've read SO many middle grade & YA books that are just amazing - I get a bit jealous that when I was that age, we didn't have the options that are out now! So this one was a dud, but it's ok. I'm not really sure if younger people really would like it or not, but it did have several high reviews, so maybe it was just me. Thanks for the quick rating and the heart :)

Not only do I enjoy the folklore, but he's just got my type of sense of humor, so it's fun to read and listen to! :) But, yes, LOTS of authors from MA! Thanks for the heart. :)

Comment: Oregon is a beautiful place to live! I've only been here about 6 years (since I got married), but have lived in the pacific northwest most of my life. I actually graduated high school in Spokane, WA! I thought that would be my forever home, but when I moved out at 18 - I never looked back. Now all my family is here locally. :) I have definitely tried to reconnect with old pen pals - but most are over the writing stage since it's been so long. I was able to reconnect with one in Germany - but haven't heard back from her. I'm going to resend another letter in hopes that the first just got lost in the mail. I'd even accept e-mail pen pals at this point in life. As for the baby book - I doubt it will ever get finished. LOL - I just find myself wanting to do other things than the book (or I've signed myself up for too many swaps and am just too darn tired to be willing to work on anything else). Well - until the next time we talk! <3

Comment: Thanks for my 1st letter this month (my poor mailbox has been lonely). I wrote down the suggestion of "Hannah" to listen too. Unfortunately, I have an older phone and cant download or use new apps, so that is why I get them on CD.....but Im always looking for cds used (our local library has very little to rent). May you and ur family enjoy the season....Blessings, Michelle.

Comment: Thanks a lot for the great journal and also for hosting this swap! I'll write more after I've explored it in more detail :) ADDED: I loved how you added notes and comments, it was interesting to read your thoughts on what you were doing in the journal. A great idea with the circles! When reading this prompt, I was always thinking of a lot of small circles, this was really unique! (Well, it won't be so unique if I make something inspired by it, haha, but these concentric circles are just too cool not to do some variation on in myself). I had exactly the similar thought about "write one word", so I smiled when I saw your page. And also with "four letter words", not using "real four letter words", but similar to yours, just cut out from magazines and leaflets. And I could go on and on with all your entries... they are cool and inspiring! :)

Response: So glad you joined and enjoyed the swap. :) And I'm glad you enjoyed what I sent. I've done a few like this and it's fun to 'think outside the box' so to speak, and make it something a bit different. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the heart :)

Response: Haha, yes I certainly would have run out, so I *had to* add more books. :) I swear, though, I think I added more books to my shelves this month than ever before in my life! Total binge! But I am currently reading a book that was on my shelf now, so maybe I'll get myself back on track. :) I honestly cannot imagine really running out of books. Utter terror! Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: You just about read 11 books in March! If this is slowed down, how many can you read fast?! I am literally on my 2nd book in March... also picking some up and putting them down again. Lake Silence sounds interesting - I will have to check it out. What age kids do you think could read The Book Thief? I didn't know it was a YA book... Thanks for the email and hosting an awesome swap!

Response: Well, I guess I feel like I'm not reading as much because I'm using more audio books, or going back tol old favorites rather than reading what's stuffing my shelves. "The Others" series is oddly interesting (for me). :) The Book Thief is a YA, I think the main character is 12-13 when the book starts and 16 at the end. There are some elements of war in the story. My daughter was 14 when she first read it, but my husband and I really got into and enjoyed the story too. Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: What a wealth of information - thanks! I feel a bit sad about discarded books but when I'm reading for entertainment, why force myself to finish? I'll have some on my list that I'm fairly ambivalent about looking back but, in the moment, they kept me entertained! And Greg Iles I have to be very much in the mood for before I attempt any of his!

Response: Discarding or not finishing books is SO sad for me, and I really hate to do it. But really, I can't think of any books I 'pushed through' to the end and actually enjoyed, so it's probably a better practice to let those go. You're right, if you are reading for entertainment, why force yourself to finish? Iles is an amazing author - the first of his I read was "Blood Memory", about 15 years ago and I STILL remember it. But you're right, the right mood is very important! He's not a casual read. Thanks for the comments and the heart :)

Comment: Hi Cindi! I really enjoyed reading your story. It was fun to see things from Jigg's POV as well as the boys. That really is a memorable name for a dog. :) I love the paper dolls, and I like how you made them a big family. It took me back to family reunions when I was a kid (complete with baseball games). Thanks for hosting this swap. I haven't written anything creative in years, and this was the perfect way to get back into it. I'll definitely be watching for more of these swaps. :)

Response: I don' think I've written from the dog's POV before, so that was kinda different. Might have to try it out again. :) The little dog in the picture just reminded me of my dad's stories of his dog when he was young, I had to do it. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Definitely a good alternative for the other monthly book swap. Even more books to check out than in the other swap :D Best wishes!

Response: I've come to realize that with reading (or listening) to SO many, there are bound to be lots I don't line. Oh well. Makes those "good" books even better, right? :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Thank you very much for the very interesting letter! I am not a big big fan of Stephen King, but I read some of his books and enjoyed them. My other half said I should read "The stand" so I did, good book. Because of him, I also read Percy Jackson stories and he got me the whole Shadow Hunters series. I made the mistake to read them back to back, so I got stuck in the middle... I got annoyed with the story, which happens when I read through a series too fast. I am giving it some rest and will finish them later. P.S. I also appreciate all the stamps you used.

Response: I've noticed that different people have very different reactions to Stephen King, and at first I didn't like his books. But I guess they 'grew' on me. :) Thanks for the heart :)

I'll - Oh, I'm stupid. I'm talking to the wrong person. hahaha! Okay, well, Rebecca if you read this, that was all for you. Cindi - OMG you used the perfect colors for this, and you used my VERY favorite '80s song! I believe it is actually, objectively the best '80s song and video combination - sorry Michael and Thriller, but this was just the best! And you did such good '80s colors on the front! I'll add my bit, which is the same as the others. Even though it's not chunky, a lot of work did go into it, just on the computer, so I hope you don't mind that. Happy Boxing Day!

Comment: thanks for sharing! Your books sound SOOO interesting. I love many different kinds of books, some very classic and "high brow" and then also some easy, fun, and especially supernatural reading. These sound great, even if you didn't like one of them. I'll be looking for them to be on sale!

Response: Thanks for the heart :) I do tend more to the unusal type books rather than best sellers. I just don't "get" bestsellers, I guess. Sarah Rayne is an amazing author (though she doesn't do audio books, which is hugely disappointing to me), and I usually really like her books. The other series (is available in audio!) is a lot of fun. I haven't figured out yet what really appeals to me about the series, but there hasn't been a low rating yet! That's pretty good, 10 books into a series! :)

Comment: Thank you for your review, Cindi! I don't think I've read many thrillers, and my main source for mistery has always been Agatha Christie, so I'm not used to read more contemporary authors/plotlines. It's frustrating when a series doesn't end as good as it started, I usually prefer when each part gets better than the previous one, but at least you did enjoy the first half of the series :)

Response: Agatha Christie is the Queen! I didn't appreciate her when I was younger, but now I LOVE her books. And as audios they're amazing. :) There are some good newer thrillers and mysteries, too. As for that series, I'm glad the author ended the series rather than trying to drag it out just to make more money (as some do!). I read reviews that said some of the characters did turn up in later series she wrote, so maybe some day I'll try those. I guess everything is a hit or miss, right? Thanks for joining in the swaps, and for the heart. :)

I don't really remember her books, which means, I probably didn't like them much :D Sounds like books I would read from time to time, when I can't find better ones at the libraries, but want to read just any new mystery book :D But thanks for reviewing this series, then I already know I rather won't want to read it, I am always quite disappointed when later books in a series are much worse than the first books/their style changes. And thank you for telling about the other series, sounds like nice mysteries :) Best wishes!

Comment: Thanks for the book review, series review. I now know I won't be reading that series, but I did read Pieces of Her (also, I listen to 99.99% of my books so I totally review audio books in these swaps), and LOVED it!!! It was well written. I don't know your gore tolerance, but I didn't find it particularly gory. On the other hand, I've been reading Stephen King since I first picked up The Shining in 4th grade, and then Carrie after I finished the first one in 2 or 3 days. Anyway, thanks for the BONUS too. I'm considering getting a Playster membership, because the one thing about Audible is you have to buy them all. So if #53 is coming out, I hope the series is on Playster!

Comment: Thank you for your detailed description of the books :) Both sound like something I would have loved to read and still would like to read sometimes, as a nice short mystery. Actually I'll put that ghost series on my to-read list on goodreads, maybe my library has it :D But I won't put the other series there – if they are hard to find in the USA, it will be impossible to come by the books here ;) Still, sounds like a great series :) Best wishes!

Response: I shouldn't have reviewed a book that was difficult to find! I didn't even think of that at first, I had such a hard time settling on a mystery to read. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: First, I feel SUPER special to get the sloth bookmark. It won't fit in my audible books (haha) but I have a binder I keep my ATCs in, and it's the kind with a plastic cover, so I put extra cute things like this in the color to make a nifty collage, and that's where it will go. Did you make this pretty envelope? I love it! I love discussing books with you. I agree that Judy Blume was essential growing up, but don't even know who Norma Klein is. Have to check her out. My old library had a banned book section, and every time I checked out stuff, I would check out one or two of those, even if I had already read them, just because if there are statistics somewhere, I want to show support for banned books. My fave was a kid's book, And Tango Makes Three about gay penguins. I'm basically writing you my swap letter in this, but I'll re-write it all and send soon! Thanks for keeping the faith with these book swaps. I'm glad they're here!!

Response: Thanks for sharing your thoughts about banned books with me. :) I"m so glad I have some company on this topic. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Thank you Cindi for both reviews! I think that I'd like better The Light of the Study Lamp. It sounds like the type of books I read when I was a kid (and, sometimes, still do)

Response: Yes, there are many types of mysteries out there. I don't usually like the really graphic ones with a lot of violence, I tend to go for the more gentle ones - like cozy mysteries, until they get too silly! And sometimes it's fun to pick up a kids mystery - it's a nice gentle story, and you can figure out 'who dun it' without having nightmares! :) Thanks for the heart :) <3 <3

Comment: So sorry for this late rating! I'm not sure how this one slipped by.. Another wonderful read which I have printed out and added to my binder, adding some of the stickers you sent me in previous snail mail rounds to make it feel more.. you! I especially connected with your journal entry about collecting and "hoarding" journal books. I do the exact same thing. I always have this image of it being so fun and fulfilling to do them, but the only one I ever kept up for any amount of time, after reading back a couple of months, just seemed to be filled with such negativity, ironically it was the one called "The Happiness Project". I still buy journals because I still love the idea of it, but they just get added to the pile of empty or abandoned books..

Response: I thought I had my journal habit under control, then the local office supply story had a clearance sale. Sigh. But they are MOLESKIN journals! They're AMAZING! And, and .... they were 40% off! And, well, and .... my kids like them TOOOO! :) haha! But, yeah, it's a serious problem. I can keep stationery buying under control better than I can journals, which makes little sense. Your 'Happiness Project' journal sounds like my Gratitude journal - I started realizing I was complaining, and quit writing. Sigh .... Thanks for rating, and the heart :) And for sharing! :)

Comment: Thank you, Cindi, for such a thorough list! // The Secret Garden has been in my to-read list for AGES. since I found out the book was written by the same author of one of my favorite books from when I was a child: A Little Princess! (that has beautiful movie adaptation, as well) // For some reason, I just can't see myself reading something from Stephen King. Probably prejudice on my part, but he has never been a priority for me. I'm aware I might be losing something, but I just lack any will. I'm sorry >.< // Hercule Poirot is my favorite character from Christie's works, and I have a little collection of her books. I think my favorite is Murder on the Orient Express, probably because it was my first with him and because my teen self was absolutley amazed by the ending // One of my closest friends has read all of the Percy Jackson (et al) books, and she always talks very fondly of them. I wouldn't mind read them someday, but for now, the amount of books in these series is a bit overwhelmig // The synopsy of Sarah's Key seemed oddly familiar. I realized that I watched a large part of its movie adaptation once, by chance. You might like it!

Response: Haha - I think a LOT about books! :) Like, way too much. I hope you get a chance to read The Secret Garden, and that you enjoy it. I need to re-read it sometime soon.. There are a LOT of books in the Percy Jackson universe, and it is a little overwhelming, but maybe because I share them with my kids, I just love all the characters. You'll be an ace with your Greek, Roman and Norse gods when it's all over though, that's for sure! haha! :) I haven't watched Sarah's Key - I saw that it's a movie, and I've seen that it has really good reviews. Maybe I should look for it. :) Thanks for reminding me. :) And thanks for the heart as well. :)

It was a very interesting read, especially since I'm only 21 myself! I'm so fascinated with people who have been penpalling for years and years- I hope I get to that point too!! I can imagine penpalling in the 80s was a very different affair. And wow I really can't relate with the young adults with fixed life plans- I try to take every opportunity given to me and would jump at the chance to travel!!! (In fact I did this with India just last year- I only knew I was going a month before!). Thank you for your journal page and don't worry about the length at all! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it :) Best wishes, Jadey

Response: Haha! Wow! I was only recently diagnosed with the allergy, and no one thinks it's "really a thing" (a lot of people say they have allergies just because they don't line something.) I never liked bananas, so it's not a hardship for me. :) The strawberry allergy is really hard for me, as I love strawberries, and they are in seemingling everything! Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Thank you yet again for such an interesting and deeply personal swap. I appreciate that you share such private thoughts and feelings with me and I really hope that you get the same feeling of relief and catharsis from tackling difficult subjects and thinking about them enough to put them on paper that I get. xxx

Response: Many people don't like my upfront and private journal entries, but I feel like if you are going to write something, and try to connect with them, why not be real? I enjoy your entries as well. :) I'm glad we've been paired up and gotten this chance to get to know each other! :)

Comment: Ha ha! Cool of you to brave the challene! The one I read for "steampunk" I said to myself "this is agood novel". I think that's what you mean here! Added to TBR

Response: Haha! When I got my first 'steampunk' novel a few years ago (it was an audio book with my kids) I was so confused! haha! But I found that I liked them once in a while, for a change. So, I like to take the challenges when I can, broaden my horizons and all that. Romances are always difficult for me - I usually either get disgusted or laugh too much! :)

Comment: Yours and mine sounded so similar. 80's kid, high bangs, kind of boring childhood, although sounds like yours was less boring than you thought. :)

Response: Kindred spirits! :) I didn't go to camp or have a bestie that I got into trouble with or any of that, so I feel like I have boring answers for these type of questions. My kids look horrified, though, when my hubby & I get out music and pictures from 'back in the day'. :) Oh, the hair. Yikes! :)

Comment: Another interesting read from you. I wonder if your printer has the same emotional issues as mine lol I loved your prompt answer about courage. I also chose this prompt and while I thought it would give the most interesting answer and I'd have lots to say, I struggled! Do you feel like writing about and analyzing where you wish you had more courage has actually helped you feel a little braver in those areas? This swap ended up being like therapy for me, so thank you very much <3<3<3

Response: I tell my kids that printers were put on this earth to make us practice patience! haha! Printers and sewing machines, in my experience. I usually need to meditate before and after using both! haha I thought those prompts would be super easy, breezy to write, but then I sat down to write and - wow, was I wrong! haha! It's good to have to answer and ponder those questions. I got the prompts from a 30 day journal challenge I found online. I'd considered using them for a journal swap here on SB, then I had to write about a few and reconsidered! haha! Thanks for reading, rating and sticking with the swaps. :) And for the heart :)

Familiar as I am with E.D. it's great to think about her anew and hear other's reactions. the "slender fellow" poem came to me immediately when weekending in Woodstock,NY and discovering one of his ilk near the newly opened daffodils; he was small and green an harmless but I had that gasp she writes of at the end. That was years ago but the moment and the poem are etched in my memory.

Comment: Thanks for your nice long letter! I'm glad that you are hosting these swaps and enjoying letter writing. I also have decades of letter-writing history, but there was a bit of a hiatus in there due to the uptick of email and social media. It's so nice to be a part of this community and know that when I write a letter, I'll get one too! I'm also old school in that I like hard cover books - I've never finished the e-books I've downloaded or borrowed. Maybe if I had a Kindle, but... eh. Hope you're having a great letter-writing month!

Response: Thanks for joining the group and the swaps. So far I've been paired up with you 3 times, so you'll probably be sick of me soon. haha You're right, it is good to know that a return letter is on the way. Thanks for the heart :)

Response: I'm so glad you liked the book mark and recommendations, too. :) The notepaper you mentioned, I think is from a Nancy Drew design - have you heard of the Nancy Drew book series by Carolyn Keene? The books from the 1940's & 50's had illustrations in them, and Nancy and her friends were always getting into trouble. :) I love the notepaper because I just find it very funny. :) I think the series is still being continued even now, but I liked the older ones. :) Thank you for the heart. :)

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful card and nice note. I will tell my daughter about the dolls that you mentioned. She wasn't ready to introduce Barbie, yet, but other girls at play dates have them. Thankfully, they are getting better with the Barbie image. They have come out with all shapes of women, now. I had to buy a Barbie to use, to fit clothes to. She has a permanent swimsuit on and flat feet. I am making Barbie's wardrobe, to have some control over it being realistic and sensible. I am also making all kinds of furniture and activities for Barbie to do, lol. I took a big piece of tan heathered felt and put a blue velvet lake in the middle. Barbie will have a tent, camp fire and clothespin camp chairs. Hopefully, all of the house furnishings will be done in time. My Mom made a lot of things that I played with as a child and I want to pass that on to my granddaughter. They are in New Mexico and with us being in Maryland, we try to stay active with our two grand kids. I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas!

Response: The Lammily dolls are very cool. I really like them - and they were around before Mattel changed the line of Barbie dolls! :) I also like that the Lammily community helps and encourages both the kids and adults to create and share their clothing creations. I'm not creative enough to make the clothes, so my daughter had the pre-made ones most of the time, but we did make bunk beds, furniture, even cars and a boat out of boxes & cardboard. :) I think it's wonderful that you are making Barbie so many nice things! :) That is most certainly a skill, and a wonderful memory. Happy holidays!

It is like it was in the 70's when people really enjoyed sending them. Here and then I have and had sent out 300 or more cards. I have a special basket I put them in. I cut the addresses from the envelopes so I know who and where they come from. My fiends are in awe of some of the countries I receive them from. Merry Christmas, Shirley

Response: Yes, I love cards from other countries especially! They are so much fun to receive. I used to display them all, and take a picture to post to face book at the end of the year.

Comment: Wow, there is so much greenery around your home! I totally get how having constant traffic around is disappointing, but personally I LOVE having that noise (I like living next to freeways and busy roads!). I hope the trees around you start to yellow soon in time for Thanksgiving :) Thank you for sharing!

Response: Oh, haha, yes, there is greenery! I"ve seldom lived around so many trees! It's nice, but a bit overwhelming sometimes. :) I don't usually mind the road being so close to the house, but it's a twisty, turny road here, so people tend to want to go FAST! It gets loud. :( Thanks for rating, and for the heart :)

I'm currently reading His Dream, Our Stories (Enhanced Edition): The Legacy of the March on Washington by Terry Golway. It includes video vignettes from people who were involved in the March on Washington. Your recommendation will be a good follow-up! Thank you for the beautiful bookmark! It's very lovely, and my favorite color -- Orange!!!

Response: Haha - you being my partner was meant to be. I chose that card before partners were assigned, and the orange background made me think of you. So I had to laugh when swap-bot paired us up. :) Glad you liked the bookmark. :) Thank you for the heart :)

Comment: Your library story sounds much like mine when I was growing up. But my dad would go to work when I was in elementary school and my stepmom would want me out of the house so I would walk to the library (about 7 blocks away) by myself and sit there all day (from open til right before my dad was due home from work) and read. I always got prizes for the summer reading program because I never stopped reading. I think they felt bad for me because I was there and not with my family so they took me in. All in all it was great for me. Always felt welcome.

Response: Libraries are totally under rated. Being friendly, being welcoming - it just makes you feel safe and comfortable, right? The libraries here and some other places we've lived have been so cold and rude - that's just wrong!! Sigh... Our library - the one I worked at - was about 4 blocks from the house. Been gone 22 years, and I miss that place more than just about anything else! ((Hugs)) - thanks for sharing, and for the heart. :)

Comment: Thanks for the swap and for hosting! It's interesting to see what tapes people love and which ones they don't. I actually love all the ones in your ugly section!! Lol! I also live far from any stores that carry washi tape. I have found the cheapest places online to buy are eBay and AliExpress. You have to wait awhile to get them, but the prices are so low, it's worth it. Thanks again!

Response: Hi! I agree that it is fun to see what others like and don't like. In swaps, it seems like we often send our favorites or our least favorite, but to see them all in one place is different. :) I haven't used ebay in so many years, but I'll have to go have a look at that and the other site. One thing I *do* like about ordering tapes online is that I have different ones than what is available at Michael's, Target, etc ... Glad you liked the swap and thanks for the heart. :)

Pocketletters were meant to be something with a theme that you could do fast, with extra craft stuff you already have and easy to fold and send to your partner. That's the basic requirement and that's how I do it. Others really go overboard and it's a choice but should not be expected of everyone.

Comment: Hi Cindy love your fun fact postcards. I usually found some of postcards at the Old Deerfield Country Store on Route 5 & 10 in Deerfield. Fun place to go as there are numerous antique stores and also of the famous countrywide Richardson's Candy Kitchen. My favorite are the chocolate covered crackers. They are like potato chips. Once you have one you don't want to stop (milk or dark chocolate too). In the summer months you can enjoy the best ice cream cones around. Take a day trip and go on route 5 & 10 from Holyoke to Vermont. If hesitant ask someone, they will let you know. Shirley

Comment: Hi Cindi! Thanks for the great pc - I love, love, love Garfield! I usually like Nora Roberts but sometimes an author can be off or it just is not your cup of tea! Do you listen to books on tape or playaways or both? One of the libraries near me is really into the playaways, which are great for when you want to listen and do other stuff! Thanks again for the great pc and share! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Response: Hi :) Glad you liked the Garfield. :) I think Nora Roberts is a little too romancy for me - I don't usually enjoy those at all. But I thought I'd try something different. :) I LOVED playaways! But we don't have them here. I use Overdrive to borrow them from the library and download to my phone, so it's more portable. CD's seem so old. haha! I also buy some from Audible, but not too many. If you haven't heard of Overdrive, I'd be happy to tell you more - it's a great app (and it's free). Thanks for the heart. :)

I know what you mean about having a hard time finding them - I only had a few from a grab bag of stationery from a thrift store and they reminded me of writing to pen pals when I was little. I thought I could order more - but really can't find any. Thank you so much!

Response: Hi - thanks for the heart. :) Yes, the traditional postalette's are hard to find, but Amazon does have a few options for "fold and seal" that I have purchased. I just used the traditional ones for this since I got some in a swap. I usually write too much. :)

The Handmaid's Tale is coming out as a Hulu original, so you might like it better on screen!

Response: So glad you liked the washi I sent. :) the wide tape with postmarks is Scotch brand, and I found it at Staples. They have an interesting assortment there, as well as tape holders. I was really drawn to that one, for some reason. Guess I just love postmarks. :) Thanks for the heart. :)

My brother attended Eureka College, where Ronald Reagan also went to school, and they have a peace garden with part of the Berlin Wall. It is moving to see. Hope 2017 is a wonderful year for you!

Boston is awesome, I live on Cape Cod and it's fantastic (all year, especially summer,great beaches for the kids) and there's all the history in Concord and Lexington. When you're done exploring MA, there's a lot to see in VT and NH too. Have a great year.

Response: Only a 10 cent stamp?! That's nuts! I did try to use up a bunch of my smaller stamps, but I would have never only put on 10 cents. Grr @ the PO! Glad it arrived, though! :)

Take care & enjoy Colorado. Judy

Response: We were 'supposed to' go to Wright-Pat, b/c of my son's health issues. But the AF sent us here, instead. It's beautiful here, and I do like it, but getting med care is a headache. :( But that's not CO's fault!

Comment: Thanks so much for the pc. Now this is no big deal, so don't sweat it. For the very same swap, I had another partner from Colo. She sent the exact same postcard. And I received them both today. Like I said, no big deal. I love them all. Colorado must only have one kind of map postcard right now. :) So thank you very much!!!!

Response: That's too funny. I did a swap like this last month and had 3 partners - all 3 were from NE and sent me the same card! haha Too funny. I did actually see a different CO map card the other day - maybe they got complaints!

Comment: Thanks for the great ND postcard. Can't imagine being any farther north than we currently are... NOT WINTER person... have never been but as we get older, it is tougher to survive WNY winters!

Response: I grew up in the snow and cold, but even for me, ND winters were brutal! I don't think there's a colder place on earth, honestly!

Comment: I really enjoyed your son's story. Non understands until they live it!!!! For your son... if he liked the lego's Harry Potter...he will LOVE the Lego's Star Wars. We got both for the twins and that is their fav!!!!! Prayers for his surgeries. Also, make sure you fight for your rights at the school level. I was a special ed teacher and I saw too many parent's not understand, you can always have an advacate at meetings!!!!

Response: We've had the Star Wars LEGO games for years! He totally loves them and has 'beat' them twice, I think. They are still his faves. :) He hasn't been into the HP one as much, but he's had more sight issues since he got that one. I have had to fight pretty hard and get really, really nasty with the school to get what he needs. We have to go through the whole thing again now. Oh well! :)

Response: Ha! You're the first person to NOT say how cute they are! They are cute, until you trip and fall in one of their holes. :/ They are very destructive. In other parts of the state, they are hunted, but here we're not allowed to do them any damage. I've actually filled in their holes with cement and it doesn't deter them!

He was anxiously awaiting his postcard and you didn't make him wait long. He liked the card and he liked this swap, but wants me to remember he isn't collecting postcards :) He liked writing a postcard to someone and seeing what someone sent to him. Thank you for making this a great swap. I used a USAFwife, too!!

Response: I'm glad he liked it! :) Tell him he doesn't have to collect them to enjoy them. ;) haha My kids collect EVERYTHING. I wish they'd let go of some stuff. :) I'll probably host another swap like this in a month or so. I try to do as many kid things as I can. :)

Comment: Got my candies! I love salt water taffy and all the royal chews. Best mail surprise ever!

Response: Glad you liked what I sent. I guess I focused too much on 'sour'! Should have sent more chewy stuff. ;)

Comment: Thank you so very much! James just loves the coloring books and crayons. When he seen the crayons he yelled SpiderMan! Thanks as well about the sweet letter it meant a lot to me.

Response: I'm glad he liked what I sent. :) My oldest son LOVED Spiderman when he was younger, so I guess that influenced me. :)

Comment: Hi Cindi!! Thanks so much for the wonderful stickers!! You did a great job. One thing tho----you need to put the exact name of the swap on your notes. ie: Sticker envie #2 for this one. You put 30 + stickers and it took me forever to find you, as I am in many sticker swaps. But it's all good, just next time put it the way exact way it is listed. Hugs and welcome aboard, Karyn

Response: OK, thanks! I thought I've been doing that, but things escape me! haha Glad you liked the stickers! And thanks for the heart. :)
