Comment: Dear Cindi, thank you very much for these wonderful goodies and the story if the frogman. - It's fascinating and disturbing at the same time and as someone not being the biggest fan of frogs and toads, you could probablby hear my scream over miles, when meeting one. XD I love this creepy feeling. *g* Thanky a lot for this story and have a wonderful weekend! ^^ 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

Comment: LOVE the Creepy Christmas stationery!! You remember correctly that I am a baker, and I especially look forward to trying the Celtic Cakes and Wassail I too love sending New Years cards - I am never able to send out as many Hanukkah and Christmas cards during the actual seasons as I intend to, and I think New Years cards are a little less expected when thinking of sending/receiving for winter holidays I hope yours are well enjoyed!!

Comment: Dear Cindi, I'm so, so happy about your solstice card! Thank you very much for it, I never got one before in my life and it will have a special spot in my heart! ^-^ Yes, I swapped less than usual the last months, as I started a new history course and learned for example to write "Kurrentschrift", an old German system. It's interssting and I'm sure I will use it to decorate some swaps XD Have a wonderful december! Yours, Maxi

Comment: Hi Cindi, thank you for your letter. I enjoy hearing from you and now am doubly inspired to write more to you. We celebrate solstice with my dance community. 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.

Comment: Dear Cindi, thank you very much for this wonderful swap, I liked it very much and the idea is simply awesome: I liked to write about my habits as well as reading about yours and finding out, that you have similiar problems in just sittung there, doing nothing... It feels like "Hey, you have to do this, this and that, so why are you not even starting with it?! At least read something or clean the dishes." and so I'm still figuring out what to do. :-) At least I'm better at accepting, that I'm unable to multitask. I wish you a wonderful week and a nice autumn! Yours, Maxi

Comment: Absolutely adore those Bibliophile Postcards. Did your note me you have tons of those? If so, I'm up for a private swap for as many as you're willing to offload. I've read some of the titles on the fiction postcard, and own or have read 13 of the 19 nonfiction books on writing. That one I'm going to keep. The other two I'll use as postcards with some Avery labels.

As always it was a little thoughtful package with so many cool details, also thank you for those really cool extras! :) Love those cozy book stickers and the beautiful washi tape! And the envelope is really cool, I really need to read the Nancy Drew books sometime :D Always a treat receiving your swap :) I can really understand your opinion on the shirtless covers, same, I never even bother looking at the blurb of those :D And I'm not a fan of covers that look like the typical boring, plain but strangely and often unfitting to the content artsy "from half a century ago typical German book covers" type, otherwise I'm not that picky, but I love pretty, rather monochromotic colors :D Looking forward to the next swap with you! Best wishes, Ina

Comment: Thank you for the great notecard and postcards. I love the McChord AFB one! I grew up in Olympia, WA. We would see the planes fly over all the time. Even saw a stealth bomber doing touch and goes once. Thank you for the show recs. I’ve only watched Haunting At Hill House.
Response: WE lived in Spokane in 2003-6 and now on this side of the state since 2019. I like it here more. :) We're house hunting now and looked at some in Olympia - looks like such a nice place! We see aircraft ALL. THE. TIME! Both planes and helicopters - even saw a tank on the road once - that was new! We are usually just on Air Force bases. haha Thanks for the heart :)

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: Thank you for your letter, and the stickers. :) Since you asked, lately I have been reading and enjoying a rom com called 'Great Sexpectations' by Kristen Bailey. It's fun. And my favourite cryptids is probably the Mongolian Death Worm, closely followed by the Yeti.

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 :)

Comment: Hello Cindi, Jinn are really a concept that confuses me, too, so thanks for this wonderful swap, as I loved to read your explanations and ideas about these guys! I also know them es the Genie from Disneys Aladin, but never really ot, what they are beside the Disney version... a good marvelmovie about Jinn might be the best solution for this! 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: Hello Cindi, and thanks for your wonderful letter! ^-^ I think I like Jane Austen, because her works were not part of the books I had to read for school. In Germany we had other authors, like "Effi Briest" by Theodor Fontane and I know how much I hated it... ^^° Have a great week! Yours, Maxi
Response: I firmly believe that any book you are forced to read as an assignment will have bad feelings. haha If I were ever assigned Agatha Christie to read in school, I wouldn't even like mysteries now. :( Thankfully, I just ended up disliking Huck Finn! 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 !

Comment: It was great getting to know you better! I'm sorry about your mom. My dad and I don't speak, for many reasons so I get hating ads for holidays! I try to just ignore Father's Day. 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!
Response: I'd never really heard much about black dogs until I watched Supernatural. I guess I focused more on ghosts and the like - or maybe Unsolved Mysteries didn't talk about black dogs. :) That's another source of my paranormal info from younger years. :) Thanks for the heart :)

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! Yours, Maxi

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 :)

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 :)

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 :)

Comment: Dear Cindi, it' not like I "didn't mind" this Poe-style for a letter, I'm over the moon looking at it. Thank you very, very much for this awesome design and the sweet goodies! 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
Response: I"m glad you overcame the worries, too, and joined in so I could 'meet' you. :) Thanks for the heart :)

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 :)

I read it all, but it is a lot to take in all at once. So I will likely be revisiting it over time. I downloaded the PDF as well. Your email was so detailed; mine is shorter, I'm sorry! 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: Thanks for the notecard. One of my favorite things about Netflix is being able to watch a series from beginning to end. I don't watch much typical TV because I hate waiting week to week for the next episode. I am familiar with the Rick Riordan series. My late husband LOVED his stuff. I've read some, but not many. Thanks for the stickers!!
Response: Yes, I thought the benefit to streaming services was to watch a bunch at once. Now I'm noticing that some are going to weekly releases of newer shows - boo! haha I mean, that's just like watching TV - some have commercials too. Oh well. Thanks for the heart :)

We might send cards to friends and give little gifts but mostly it´s jut wishing Happy Valentine´s Day on social media.I think the younger generation might take it more seriously, not my teenagers yet though! They still appreciated the bookmarks!
Response: Over my lifetime I've seen a change in Valentine's day - it used to be more of a couples romantic holiday when I was little, but now it seems more of a friendship day. Ah, evolution. Thanks for the heart!

Sending PCs and letters internationally used to be the same cost in Germany too but they changed that about two years ago. You asked about my favorite King books... I guess I'll name the ones I read more than once: Pet Sematary and Needful Things. And my favorite categories for Trivia Nights are music, movies or celebrities. "Talk" to you soon I hope! (BTW... it's the first InCoWriMo swap that arrived this year!)

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! :)

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

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. :)

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! 🎄😊
Response: So glad you liked the card. The glitter cards ARE pretty, but wow do they make a mess! haha Thanks for the heart & Happy Holidays!

I have never made a pumpkin cheesecake but I love all things pumpkin. I may have to try yours! Happy Thanksgiving!
Response: Pumpkin cheesecake is really amazing (in my opinion!) Can't make it this year - found out my daughter is allergic to dairy, so I'm having to adapt all of our holiday recipes, and I haven't figured out cheesecake yet! Darn it! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for the heart!

You read heaps in September - your 'bad' month for quantity of reading would be my 'amazing' month, haha. I believe Darcy Coates is Australian, my friend has also been devouring her books, so will have to check them out :)
Response: I think I did read that Darcy Coates is from Australia. She does a great job of making the setting very universal - places, terms, etc, the books could be in just about any country. She has a LOT of books, too! Thanks for the heart :)

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 :)

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!

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!

(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))

Comment: Got the journal and just glancing through it so far. Thanks! It looks great! I am stunned by the fact that those brochures were just - somewhere? - for over a year. 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: 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 :)

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 :)

Comment: No need to apologize! I do feel trapped by my own list sometimes, but I still haven't felt compelled to get rid of them, as I do want to tackle all of them eventually, and sometimes the only motivation I have to read is to meet the monthly deadlines. 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.
Response: Yes, your support does count! :) It just got to be a lot to balance and manage, just didn't work right now. That's the problem with hosting. But eventually it will all work out. :) Thanks for the heart and for understanding!

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 :)

Comment: First of all, thanks for hosting this swap! I really liked the ‘ghosts’ theme of yours. Horror isn’t my usual genre, so I always like seeing what interests people about it. I’m definitely adding some of your favorites to my to-read list. (My favorite horror author is probably Joe Hill.) 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? I'm still haunted by Heart Shaped Box - but it was a GOOD story, not just scary! Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Wow, talk about special effects. I'm in the hospital right now for my son. He had an allergic reaction. 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.
Response: I hope your son is ok! Allergic reactions are no fun. I've spent a LOT of time in hospital waiting rooms with my kids. Really, hope you both are doing much better now. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: I enjoyed your letter very much and love, love, love the Tim Holtz people. Thank you! Can't wait to use them. Duma Key is one of my favorite books. If you can, get the audio version. 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 :)

Comment: Thank you for the lovely letter and card! (I love dolly parton- she's a LEGEND) I hope the huge amount of letters you wrote in April didn't put you off letter writing! I had a lot of fun, but I'm definitely giving myself a bit of a break! 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 :)

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 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.

Comment: Wow, what a fun family project. ^_^ I agree with you, forcing to read books isn't the way to go. I never really liked the book I had to read in school. It has only been until recently I began enjoying reading, because I wanted to read books. I have the same book on my TBR, but not sure when I'll start it. I first got Shakespeare on my plate :o

Comment: Thank you for such a lovely letter, it was a true pleasure to read. I'm often asked if Phoenix is my legal name, it is! I'm named after the mythical bird of fire and rebirth. I think you have a very pretty name and I've not actually seen your name around much. Best wishes.
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

Comment: Thank you for the postcard :) It seems as if Mother Nature is making up for our lack of snow last year by really hitting us hard this year. We've got around a total of 18 inches of snow since it's all began (various storms)

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 :)

Comment: Thank you for sharing. I adored the book and I thought the series to be quite fitting. It is a good thing Gaiman was the show runner himself. Also David Tennant was born to play Crowley.
Response: I adore David Tennant (and must talk about him too much b/c my husband gave me a framed drawing of Tennant as a birthday gift, which was a bit of a shock!) and I can't wait to see him play Crowley. 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. :)

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.

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

Comment: Hi Cindi, Yes it is tough to calculate these stats at the end of month and year but thank you for calling us forward to do them. One of my odd favorites is following economics and funny statistics to see what they tell us about people, communities, and things. 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.
Response: I do have a love for statistics, but I'm terrible at keeping track of everything. Which no one seems to believe about me. I love organization and planning, but I'm rotten at keeping track of things! Oh well. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the heart! :)

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!

It doesn't make a difference to me, if your Christmas card is from last year. I haven't seen this type card before & I love it! Thank you too for the yummy recipes! I love to cook & bake! I will definitely try the Christmas Morning breakfast one & most definitely without Sausage, yuck! Will try the ham in it. I already have Snickerdoodle & Fantasy fudge recipe. But don't have the Hot buttered rum cookies. I loved all! Happy New Year to you & yours!

Just like you said, it also made me realized how privileged I am to have all my basic needs covered, and that I'm allowed to stay at home when so many people don't have that chance and must risk their health and deal with equally stressed people every day. I hope you all have a very Happy and promising New Year,!

Comment: Probably a stupid question, but is the Bedknob and Broomstick book, the book where the Disney movie was based upon? Either way, it'll end up on my TBR. ^_^ Thanks for sharing.
Response: Yes, it is! It's a little different from the movie, of course, and finding the book was HARD. But it was interesting to read. It was always a favorite movie as a kid, though hard to find or watch. (growing up before streaming and DVD's was rough!) Thanks for the heart :)

But he was laying on the table because it was warm, not for the books. :) Our dog, actually, is the 'book hound' here - she loves to sniff any and all books - and mail - that come into the house! She's even 'stolen' books or mail from me to super-sniff them. She's an odd one! Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: It sounds like you had an interesting month of reading! 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!

Comment: Loved your letter and I identify with SO much of it! I love the outdoors too and have horrible allergies, so the peace that I get from it is tempered greatly by my need for Benadryl. LOL And I love the afghan. Hubs and I were just talking about how they were such a thing when we were kids but people don't tend to have them as much now and I think they're so comforting! 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 :)

Especially knowing it's out of your comfort zone =) I'm delaying my re-read for next year, because a few weeks ago I received the other 2 books by the author, so I'm planning to do a Clarke-fest, maybe in summer ^_^
Response: Taking my time with the book probably would have been a better idea - and probably a different yet (this one is getting to me!). But I do plan to re-read it again in a few years, because it was quite well written! Thank you for the suggestion. :)

Comment: I feel slightly guilty for the book that slowed everything down, but I'm glad you could mixed it up with other things! Still, you did very good progress on your list, and hopefully will have lighter reads for the remaining months!
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! :)

Response: I wish Evanovich would go back to the Wicked series she started a few years ago. I liked that one, but she only got 3 books into it. I think maybe she could end Stephanie and continue with something else and people would still automatically buy them. I mean, look at Nora Roberts! haha!

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 :)

And I've wanted to go to the Stanley Hotel ever since I found out The Shining was based on it :) Thanks for a great swap!
Response: I don't think I've ever actually read an Anne Rice book. We did watch the movies based on the books, but I just never liked vampires enough to read the books. And yes- I'd love to visit the Stanley Hotel too! Thanks for a great swap and for the heart :)

Comment: I've never read a "bodice-ripper either" growing up my mom mostly read sci-fi, but my first intro into "romance" was the Twilight series, then I got into fan fic, which if you've read it can get quite dirty, lol then I read Fifty Shades, which TBH is a horrible romance book, then read Shophie Kinsella, and then I got into Christina Lauren who's one of my current romance favs
Response: You know, I'd forgotten that in high school I didn't read romance, but I did read VC Andrews books - not age appropriate! haha Some of the romance books really are just not thought out well. Thanks for the heart :)

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!
Response: Glad you liked what I sent. :) Glad you "Let it go!" and it worked for you! Thanks for the heart :)

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 =)

Comment: Hi! I'm pretty sure Emily Dickinson is the first female poet most of us heard about, and unfortunately the only one for a long time. I sure hope that changes for future generations. 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: Thank you Cindi. I haven't read one of Elizabeth George's books in a really long time and I'm not sure why that is. Anyway I gave the TV series a shot and really didn't like it at all. I did think that the books were so much better. You have the opposite idea. Interesting. Perhaps I'll give the TV series another try. While this whole covid -19 thing is a complete nightmare, I will admit that I rather like having some real free time.

I agree that sometimes blind-picking stuff to meet a challenge can leave you really unsatisfied with what you're reading.
Response: I'm SO jealous of kids these days - they are getting the BEST books! Not that there weren't good middle grade and YA books 'back in my day' but there just seem to be SO many more now. I really enjoyed Sal & Gabi & the next book is on my wish list now! :)

Comment: I'm sorry you were disappointed by the book! But, as you said, at least you accomplished to cross it off your list. Maybe, if this series goes on, the odd numbered books are the ones to avoid and the even numbered books are the ones to read? Not sure if you'd like to give them another chance, though xD
Response: Yes, it was sad to not enjoy the book when I'd been looking forward to it. But it's off my shelf - and I didn't have to pay for it! Bonus! :) haha I guess the next book will prove or disprove my suspicion. We'll see! :)

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: 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: 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!

Comment: That's a ton of reading this year! Sometimes it's good to step back and make sure you read what you want and not what you think you should. It was such a relief to me to drop about 40 books from my TBR list this year that I just decided I don't want to read after all. :)
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: 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.

Comment: Congrats on getting the unlimited Kindle! If you are interested in mysteries and you haven't checked out Poe, he was a new discovery for me. I never thought that I'd like his work but I found his works less horrible and more intriguing than I had expected!

I don't think either of the books you listened to are quite for me (because I mostly listen at night, I tend to shy away from anything too scary. But I enjoyed reading your descriptions and comments. If you like the BBC Agatha Christie dramatisations, you might also like the BBC Lord Peter Wimsey dramatisations -- I've really enjoyed listening to them.

I'm not very familiar with most American toys or cartoons and other kids' stuff from the 1980's - I don't think I've ever watched any of the shows or movies you mentioned except Garfield. I do love 80's music though! And the penpal ads in teen mags - I wish they still had those! Although I can't imagine willingly sending my home address to be printed in a magazine anymore, who knows what might happen, haha. Thank you for such a fun swap! 💖

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

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 :)

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 :)

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 :)

Comment: Wow, you have travelled here, that's amazing! :) I also enjoyed reading your thoughts on the bullet journal, and finding a postcard was cool too! :)
Response: Yes, I thought that was pretty random! I haven't traveled much outside the US, so it was a happy coincidence. :) Thank you for the heart :)

Comment: Serial was the first podcast I ever listened! And my first incursion in the audio-only format. I also have several of thos records with short stories in them, but I never played them =O
Response: I used to love those 'read along' books with records or cassettes. I guess now Kindle does something like that, but it wouldn't be the same, would it? Sigh .... Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Thanks for the reviews! I have to read Sarah Rayne in e-book form as the print in some of her print books is stupidly small!
Response: Yes, I've experienced that as well. Some libraries have had her ebooks, which is helpful! Glad to know it's not just me who finds some print too small! :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Thank you very much for hosting this swap and your long list of books :) Yet some more books to check out! :D (once I have time) I love you always have some mysteries in your list, there can never be enough suggestions for new mystery books (series) :) I wish you a wonderful week!
Response: Mysteries are so addictive for me! I can't seem to stop. :) I was at the book store over the weekend (always a bad decision - BUT! I went to buy *1* book, and I only bought that *1* book - so achievement! haha!) I saw a special edition of "Murder on the Orient Express" with illustration and extra notes ... oh, it was SO hard not to buy it! Forget that I have the audio version, and ebook version AND a print edition on my shelf! Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Hi Cindi, I enjoyed reading your update. You are definitely making progress although I think all of us are finding it difficult not to keep adding more books to the list! Carry on the good work.
Response: Yes, it is hard not to add to the list. :( I tell myself it's OK to add book TITLES to my list, as long as I don't add physical BOOKS. Right? :) I guess there are worse things to be addicted to than books! Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: Looks like a pretty creepy book! And yes, I have read Shadow of the Wind (as well as other Carlos Ruiz Zafon books) :0)
Response: Yes, it was a bit creepy. I think I'm drawn to those, though. :) I loved Shadow of the Wind so much, I want to read the rest of the series, but I'm afraid they won't be 'as good' and I'll be disappointed .... I keep re-reading Shadow, though. :) Thanks for the heart :)

Comment: I agree with you, this was such a fun swap, made more so by the great card, envelope and stickers that you sent - purrfect for a cat lover such as me! I really hope your library becomes everything it should be, now that the construction is done. All the best, Tracy
Response: Glad you liked the card. :) I 'save' them for special circumstances. :) It felt right for this swap - I love how they're printed inside, and the envelope as well. :) Our library is turning around, slowly. So, fingers crossed. :) THanks for rating and the heart :)

Comment: You were quite busy, Cindi! :-) “The Test” by Sylvain Neuvel sounds very interesting. Will put it on my TBR-list. :-)
Response: Have you read his Themis Files triology? They were SO GOOD, in print and audio. This one was good too, and I was excited to get a copy. :) Thanks for the heart :)
