BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

Wow! Thank you for the fantastic package of goodies! I was not expecting something like this at all! I feel so spoiled! And there's a wishlist book included! Thank you so much!

I'm hoping to do another sci-fi box this year, (unless someone else starts one first which would be great too!) not sure when as I've still some books to read to get anywhere near ready to even start a thread. And I have several non-sci-fi books in my reading queue at the moment. Anyway, the books you sent would make a great addition to a box! Keep an eye out for it; I hope you can join!

The mail carrier jammed the package into the mailbox really well! I had to get some leverage to pull it out! ...some of the stamps didn't survive. :( And that reminds me, thank you for all the fabulous stamps! Those in better shape I'll pass along on the next stamps sweeps. :)

Thank you for this wishlist book! And thank you for the additional comics. (I've already started one of the comics!)

A fast read with some really nice artwork. (Lots of emphasis on Lady Mechanika's bosom.) I'd be interested in seeing where the story goes from here. Lots of fun, tropey characters.

What lovely artwork! Thanks for sharing.

It took me a while to follow the plot (1. I thought the lady in the beginning of Chapter 1 is Lady Mechanika - I thought it was the beginning of the story, and the timeline confuses me, until I found out she's another mechanika 2. A lot of the characters seem to have known each other from before), but once I get that sorted out the story flows smoothly and in a good pace, so I quite enjoy it. Really lovely artwork.

Thanks my friends for sharing such a lovely book.

Passing this on to a BCer that I am so happy to finally meet.

I don't have any samurai stuff, but I think this is pretty close to "Heroes that never thought about being heroes kind of stuff." Hope you enjoy it.

Maybe I would never choose this book from its cover. But when looking inside, it is promising.
Thank you once again azuki, for your generosity. I truly appreciate it.
