Wow! Great box! It had a stamp on it that it had been opened for inspection, but apparently they didn't find anything but books.
This assortment will test my decision making abiilities:)
Edited to add: I've pm'ed affinity4books for an address.

Mailing today--I'll add delivery confirmation number later...

It's here, it's here! And so many good choices....
This arrived right before I left to visit family for the holidays, so sorry for the delay in journalling. I have bob's address so I should be able to mail it this week. Thanks for including me!

I read and replaced Dead Crazy.
I took out Death, Bones, and Stately Homes, and The Fugitive King (both new authors for me!)
I added Chivalry is Dead by Kate Kingsbury and The George Eliot Murders by Edith Skom.

mailed today to Bob in CA

The box arrived today. Woot! Thank you, affinity4books. And thank you, llama-mama205, for sending this ring out. Shouldn't take me long to get this thing back on the road. Plenty of interesting possibilities in here.

I'll be holding the box hostage until my demands are met, though. 1) An autographed photo of Miss Marple 2) An arranged tea with "Still Life" author Louise Penny 3) "Some Like It Mild" and "Death By Knitting Needle" cozy mystery sayings T-shirts.

I shouldn't think any of those should be a problem.

What? You think I'm not serious?!?!

:)

UPDATE:

I took out:

1) Bootlegger's Daughter / Margaret Maron
2) Murder Most Cozy (9 short stories/9 authors)

I put in:

1) Who Killed the Pinup Queen? / Toni Kelner
2) The Cat Who Lived High / Lilian Jackson Braun
3) Murder Once Removed / Kathleen Kunz **

** What the hey. There was room for one more in the box.

I'll send out the box as soon as I get Ring88's mailing address.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I mailed the box this morning to Ring88.
