Cindy (cindylouyoung) | 105 comments Holli, Beth and everyone else...

I finally got the package at the post office today - our PO doesn't have hours that are convenient for the normal working gal.. like me...

But, I AM SO SURPRISED AND COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED ... the box of books is fantastic - it will certainly keep me busy and reading throughout those days that I am home resting.

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU

You guys are awesome!

love,
Cindy

PS. I have some reading to do now :)

Kristen (kristen120378) Cindy, the DVD I included gave my mom a good laugh while she went through chemo. It's kinda odd, but refreshingly funny - let me know how you like it!





message 3: by Holli (new)

Holli You are so very welcome Cindy and I'm glad you got it. I was starting to get worried about what had happened to it. LOL Glad it made it there in one piece and I hope you enjoy your box of sunshine!!!

Robyn (roxy_nj) | 354 comments I hope you like the books! I have a big question for you.....with a box full of books glaring at you, how are do you ever choose which to read first?
Shake up the box, close your eyes and pull one out like a BINGO ball?
Alphabetical by author? Ooooo or maybe you title just to be different?
Prettiest cover first?
Whichever was on top when you opened the box?

LOL

Cindy (cindylouyoung) | 105 comments Hi Laura & Roxy,

I think I have enough reading for a while LOL -- I am still quite amazed by this surprise. To think I have so many friends from this group - friends that are only made through our online conversations. It really is quite amazing!

So- I think I am going to dive into my book box next (I am a cover art - back blurb) type reader.. I will see which grabs my attention first :)

Kristen - I was showing a friend of mine my surprise box (bragging about it - LOL) and she had seed that movie and said it was great.. can't wait to watch it.

I can't thank you guys enough - you are all angels!

love,
Cindy

Robyn (roxy_nj) | 354 comments You'll have to start a special bookshelf for your box books so we can see what you thought of them! Don't worry I don't think anyone will be upset if you don't like something we sent.


message 11: by Holli (new)

Holli Oh not at all....at least I won't be upset. I just wanted you to know how much you are loved and thought of by all of us!!

message 13: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) | 1445 comments That Holli - she has the heart of "Ten Grinches, plus Two!"

Even bigger and warmer than that!

Glad you're enjoying them, Cindy! Keep feeling the love, girl!


message 14: by Holli (new)

Holli Hey thanks Laura... :)


message 15: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) | 1445 comments I'm glad you took it as a compliment (as it was intended). I love the Grinch and like to randomly quote it around this time of year. Hmm, maybe I should change my avi????

*runs to google*


message 16: by Holli (new)

Holli Of course I took it that way...it was very big sisterish sounding ;)


message 17: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) | 1445 comments Ya like my new Grinchy picture? I love him.


message 18: by Holli (new)

Holli Very cute Laura....

Heidi (heidihetzel-evans) From one bookworm to another-- happy reading... nothing better than a good book to escape!


message 20: by Beth (new)

Beth | 163 comments Glad you enjoyed your box of books Cindy! It was Holli's wonderful idea. I hope you find some new favorites in that collection as you get through this fight - getting RID of that cancer!


Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie (bloominchick) Cindy, I'm sorry I wasn't able to join in this but I am so glad you loved it! More happy surprises are on their way to you!

Kathy  (readr4ever) | 111 comments Cindy, I, too, am sorry that I wasn't around to join in this surprise. I do have you in my thoughts and prayers. COL is a great group from which to gain comfort and strength.

Sandy (sandila) | 75 comments And mine is on it's way in a seperate envelope. You should be getting it any day now. Holli is a sweety for putting this together.


message 24: by Holli (new)

Holli Thanks you guys!! I am so glad that you are sending Cindy (boy that was a weird two words together) your packages. Thank you so much for that!!


Bloomin’Chick (Jo) aka The Eclectic Spoonie (bloominchick) No thanks are needed but appreciated! That's what friends are for! (My happy surprises left yesterday and should also be there in a few days or so!)


message 26: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (cindylouyoung) | 105 comments All I can say is you guys are awesome. It is so nice to get something in the mail other than hospital bills :)...

I am a reading fool! The power outage gave me lots of quality time for reading -- I was in heaven!

Hope that all of you have a very Merry Christmas!

love,
Cindy

Wise Louise (louisewise) I'm looking for a chick lit group, anyone know of any?


Elizabeth (Alaska) Louise, if you go to "Groups" on the menu bar at the top, and put "chick lit" in the search field, I think you will get several hits.
