Journal Entry 7 by bobbarama from Carlsbad, California USA on Monday, January 04, 2010

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.
