Spinifex- I have now received Nine Days a Queen that I am angeling for you. I have posted it to my inventory (turtlegirl) as Angel Book #9.

I won't be asking you to angel -- well, at least not for this book! The book owner rejected all her pending mooches then took all her books and left!

posted by SunnyLola at 7:54 pm (EST) on Nov 4, 2009

Thanks for the offer to angel! I did email the book owner and suggested that whoever gave her that information had probably tried to sell her the most expensive postage option. I also asked whether she would re-list the book if I were to find an angel, but I haven't heard back from her yet. I'll be sure to contact you if she agrees to that :-)

I have now received Revenge of the Rose and The Sudbury School Murders that I angelled for you. I am turtlegirl on BM. They on reserved for you, posted as Angel Books 3 and 4.

thanks.

Hi Spinifex,
The owner of Mary, Bloody Mary: A Young Royals Book has not logged in now for more than a month and their inventory has gone on vacation, I don't think this is going to be a successful mooch. Do you want me to list the other book I mooched you and leave this one or do you still want to wait?

I have the ARC of A Fatal Waltz now and I've posted it to BookMooch reserved in your name.

I'm actually sending far larger piles in USPS flat-rate boxes at the moment, so no real worries. :)

I would be interested in the fairytale book, I did my russian A level coursework on fairytales:) I know what you mean about all the children's books being translations, I had the same problem when i went to Russia on a school trip.

posted by Rubbah at 12:28 pm (EST) on Sep 5, 2009

Thank you! That's very nice :)
I thought they sold them individually (at least, that's what I saw on the Russian website), but maybe they only did in the past.

posted by mene at 4:58 am (EST) on Sep 5, 2009

Spinifex- the book is now reserved for me. When I went to mooch it, the condition notes say it is a paperback ARC. Is that okay with you?

Kristin

posted by kmhyle at 4:41 pm (EST) on Sep 2, 2009

Spinifex- It's still reserved in your name, so I emailed the owner to change it to me.

Kristin

posted by kmhyle at 12:25 pm (EST) on Sep 2, 2009

It's fine. I didn't see her reply before I commented, as I was trying to check on my pending if I still had books for you. :)

posted by infiniteletters at 9:32 am (EST) on Sep 2, 2009

Hi Spinifex,
Just to let you know that your book Signora Da Vinci has arrived. Let me know if/when you don't want to wait any longer for the second book you asked me to mooch :)

Hi Spinifex,
Thanks so much for all your angel help - and if I can return the favour, if ever needed, from down here, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Spinifex,
Have mooched the copy from Leeta, I will cross my fingers as she has some requests from August 10/11th that she hasn't yet replied to and hasn't logged into her account for 16 days.

Happy mooching!

Hi Spinifex!
Second Glance has arrived today and is up on bookmooch for you. Happy mooching!

Hi Spinifex
Unbelievable - that's amazing, considering they hadn't been marked 'accepted'; let alone 'sent'. LOL!!! (I happened to check your profile the other day and had thought that transaction probably "weren't happening" -hehe!) And I was sad for your book too!
I don't mind the damage; I will mend it whenever it arrives.
THANK YOU!!
Happy Holidays (??) or if not, 'enjoy overseas". :)

Thanks so much for 'angel' mooching The Music of Chance by Paul Auster for me.
FYI - my BM id and username are Lman too.

Thanks, that made me smile. Sad, but true.

I'm reading the "restored" edition of my favorite book, A Moveable Feast. I hope you are taking advantage of both the time of year and your location to occasionally sit outside a cafe with a book and either a citron presse (can't do the accents) or a cold glass of white wine. I'm going to do the Southern equivalent this afternoon--sit on the deck under the trees with a glass of iced tea.

There was a contentious discussion on another forum (999 Challenge) and as it heated up, all I could remember was your comment that it's all fine as long as no one brings up nazis. No one did, although the term "holy war" was used.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 11:49 am (EST) on Aug 11, 2009

Hi,

I'd be interested in Scent of Sake if it's still available.

Thanks!

posted by Miela at 2:28 pm (EST) on Aug 10, 2009

It took a while, but The Beckoning Silence has finally arrived, and I've posted it for you.

Thanks Spinifex,

If you would reserve "When Gods die" for me it would be very much appreciated.

All the Best

No problem, whenever you get to it is fine. Thanks so very much. I hope Berlin is a holiday.

All the best,

If someone hasn't beaten me too it would you reserve "What Angels Fear" for me? I go by Excelis on bookmooch.

posted by goancrow at 1:45 pm (EST) on Jul 31, 2009

Ha! That's right--I was leaving for a week and wanted to get everything in the mail before I went. I skipped a few steps there. Still, I'm glad it arrived and I'll reserve it for you on BookMooch. Perfect reading for a hot, hot day.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 2:44 pm (EST) on Jul 13, 2009

I just got an email from the sender of The Beckoning Silence saying that she won't be able to mail it until the week after next - hope that won't be a problem for you.

posted by kineocarr at 2:51 pm (EST) on Jul 10, 2009

BookMooch is down for awhile and I'm going off to the wilds of Florida (actually the beaches and pools of Florida) for a week, so I mailed the book to you today.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 7:54 pm (EST) on Jun 30, 2009

"No Shortcuts to the Top" is finally here and I've reserved it for you on BookMooch. I'm fascinated by high-altitude climbing, mainly because I can't imagine loving something so painful and difficult. And it's a perfect hot weather book!

posted by RidgewayGirl at 3:04 pm (EST) on Jun 28, 2009

Ah, I see Heather got it for you. On an English monarch reading kick?

posted by infiniteletters at 7:27 pm (EST) on Jun 27, 2009

Sorry, it's gone. I hope another Angel got it for you?

posted by infiniteletters at 7:16 pm (EST) on Jun 27, 2009

Hi Spinifex,

That's fine- thank you so much for trying! Yes, it is annoying, especially when these people list heavily wishlisted books, it makes you feel like they set out with the intent to con people...

Anyway, let's give them the benefit of the doubt and as you say wait a couple of weeks, and then I'll put it back on my wishlist.

Thanks again for your help!

Stef

Thank you, Spinifex! I've just mooched it. No rush - take your time and send it by slowest boat!

If you are still interested in The Man in The Moss, let me know and I'll list it and reserve it for you. I won't be able to ship overseas for another week or so, I hope that is not a problem.

posted by jeri889 at 11:08 am (EST) on May 29, 2009

Your book is here and reserved for you on BookMooch. It's in fantastic shape.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 1:37 pm (EST) on May 11, 2009

oops, sorry! I didn't mean to send you on a seek-and-find mission -- I fully intended to include her email address. Anyway, obviously you found the connection -- I guess I should finish my coffee before I try writing emails early in the morning.

posted by SunnyLola at 6:58 pm (EST) on May 1, 2009

I've heard from the owner of the Afghan Campaign and she says she'll happily send it to me. Yay!

posted by RidgewayGirl at 4:58 pm (EST) on Apr 29, 2009

There has been no word from the owner of The Afghan Campaign and she hasn't been on the site for a few weeks. I'll give her a few more days, but I don't think she's participating anymore.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 3:23 pm (EST) on Apr 27, 2009

Mooched the Real Estate book for you!

posted by infiniteletters at 12:08 pm (EST) on Apr 26, 2009

De rien! LT Authors can be a real mess -- I have a "David Mitchell" in my list I've never even heard of! He just happens to share his name with the famous British author. I would like to get rid of him, but can't without deleting the "real" DM's books. :D

And thank you for your kind words! I know what you mean about the war, so I don't have too many books about battles or geo-politics. What I'm really interested in is how WWI ushered in Modernism (hence all the poetry!). I'm also interested in how the war led into the 1920s, as my other great love is the Lost Generation...which was based in your beautiful city, of course!

P.S. I like the lack of 'rhyme and reason' in your library! It looks like you have many wonderful and varied interests -- it must be a pleasure to browse through. :)

Bonjour Spinifex,

I saw your question on "Aide en Français" -- because I read French better than I write it, I thought I would leave you a comment rather than try to post in mangled French! :D David Liss is on your list because you have his book A Conspiracy of Paper. The only way to keep him from showing up in your Member Connections is to delete his book from your library.

Bonne chance,
m.

P.S. You have a great library! :)

posted by mountebank at 10:46 am (EST) on Apr 26, 2009

Wow, that was really speedy! Both are now officially mooched. Thanks so much!

posted by SunnyLola at 7:49 am (EST) on Apr 24, 2009

I'm sorry. I missed the timeframe. :/

I should have told you to have more people watching around then.

posted by infiniteletters at 7:37 pm (EST) on Apr 20, 2009

Yes, I'm sure life can be terrible, living as you are in the most beautiful city in the world as you do! Especially now that spring is here.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 4:51 pm (EST) on Apr 20, 2009

Wowza, we have roughly the same number of books, but you have some serious space constraints. Do you have bookshelves in the bathroom? I just redecorated our tiniest bathroom and managed to put in a wee shelf that fits four books with loo rolls as bookends.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 4:21 pm (EST) on Apr 20, 2009

I've mooched it! I'll keep you up to date on its progress.

Thanks so much spinifex. I appreciate the angel mooch very much... or to be perfectly honest, my wife does! She's the pastry chef. :-)

"The Climb" is reserved for you on BookMooch.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 12:25 pm (EST) on Mar 7, 2009

Ha! I have 915 books on my wishlist. By any metric, this is excessive! Now, 1/3 are German language children's books (which come up in English all the time) because my children are bilingual, but have much more reading material in English, but even 600 is surely enough?

I do feel a little bad that you sent me an exciting book and I didn't get the book you wanted! I have a copy of "The Climb" by Anatoli Boukreev that I've been debating putting up on BookMooch. Shall I reserve it for you?

posted by RidgewayGirl at 6:14 pm (EST) on Mar 6, 2009

The owner of the Mosquito War just rejected my mooch. He can't find the book. His apology was very nicely worded. Please feel free to ask me to get any books you want from insular Americans, especially since I just got the book you sent me and it looks much more fun than it did in the review I read. You're in the 12th! You are far from my old (and tiny) room!

posted by RidgewayGirl at 3:35 pm (EST) on Mar 6, 2009

Hi, I mooched "The Mosquito War" for you. Would you send me a reply here on LT and mention that I've mooched that title for you so that I don't forget who I've mooched it for? Thanks.

Incidentally, I am sooo jealous of you living in Paris. I lived there for a year (well, in Boulogne-Billancourt) and miss it. I've been back for visits, but it's an entirely different thing to be a tourist.
