I've reserved 2 for you - I hope that's ok?

posted by readingwithtea at 2:51 am (EST) on Apr 20, 2011

Spinifex,
I have created a listing, Angel Book #10, for Lords of the NOrth that I am angeling but have not received. I also created 2 blank listings, Angel Book #6 and 1 if you'd like to use for future mooches. The easiest thing to do would be to mooch directly from the recommendation emails.

Spinifex,

I have NOT received Falls the Shadow that I am angeling for you, although it has been marked Sent to me. However, in order to allow you to mooch it for 2 points, I have posted it to my inventory (turtlegirl on BM) as Angel Book #5 reserved for you.

Kristin

Wow! That was a surprise, I'd given up on that one!!

Will pop over to your BM and Mooch now.

Thankyou so much :)

You're very welcome. I'm excited to start angelling on a moderate basis. The moochee looks very reputable, so I'm sure it will work.

God's Englishman (the Cromwell biog) arrived today - it's in pretty poor condition (2 sections are loose, although bound at least in their sections) but there were no condition notes as far as I can remember.
Anyway I will put it up for you. Hopefully you will be able to fix it with glue.

posted by readingwithtea at 4:25 pm (EST) on Jan 14, 2011

sorry, I missed that in your request.(think I need new glasses...lol)

but just to let you know: the owner of "The founding Brothers" has not yet responded to our request which we made for an angel mooch on Dec. 21st. I'll send him/her a reminder, but at this point, i don't think we are going to get a response.

Thanks anyhow, I agree, that would be just about the stinkiest package in the pile. thank goodness the real Roquefort(and other French cheese) is allowed to be imported from France to our grocery stores here.
I think there must be a cheese gene in the French genetic make-up, which all of my grandchildren inherited from their grandfather. Although I love cheeses, those kids are crazy for everything from simple "la vache qui rit" to camenbert and brie. So many American children are picky... don't like vegetables, prefer only hamburgers and fries, steaks, etc. I recently saw a news segment on the preparation of meals for French public schools and was amazed at the varied and elegant menus!!!

Our mooch request for "The Historian" has been accepted, I hope it arrives in a timely manner. I'll let you know .
In the meantime I hope you have a happy holiday season (not too too busy)- a first Christmas for little Blanche!

The Boat has arrived! I'm still waiting to see if my mooch of High Exposure will be accepted. Let's give that one a few more days--his record is spotty, with bursts of sending books out and long stretches of ignoring BookMooch.

Well, the mooch was accepted, along with 36 others, so maybe it will all work flawlessly.

I managed to find a nice hardcover edition, so I've put up my trade paperback copy of The Broken Shore for mooching. It's on your wishlist, so I've reserved it for you in case you want it.

Hi, sorry I didn't answer earlier, been a busy week with workers disturbing my peace and quiet, but the remodeling is going well and I LOVE the new tile and roomy walk-in shower!! We're now starting on the master bath, after which some serious painting in the rest of the house, and I'll have a brand new house, lol.
so glad little Blanche is thriving. that is such a cute age, and the nice thing about 3 to 6 months, is they learn so fast, are so social, laughing and smiling and responding, yet... when you put her down, she stays there. Watch out when she learns to crawl and later to walk, you won't have a free minute when she is awake!!
I so loved my time with my children when they were babies, and the grandchildren too. Now I guess i'll have to wait a few years before there are any more babies in my life, since my oldest grandchild is only 18 and just started university last year.
Hope your summer has been a good one. how much longer before you have to return to work?

posted by GlendaHam at 9:39 pm (EST) on Aug 18, 2010

You're very welcome. I'm glad I can help. I am having a very busy summer with some work being done around my house. I realize how much like a "hermit" I have become. I just can't seem to get anything accomplished with two rooms in disarray and workers are coming in and out and part of the house seems like wrecking truck passed through. It will be worth it in the end, but such a hassle. (remodeling and updating bathrooms and part of the kitchen).
I hope your summer is going well, I read your post about being on vacation with nothing to read. Darn! Don't you just hate when that happens? Hugs to you and the "mini-Spini" Blanche.

Hi, Juliette,
No Problem... I understand. It may be a while before you will have the time and energy to start posting and sending out books.
My summer has certainly been a busy one, with organizing my books, remodeling my bathroom, and growing my summer vegetable garden. I had so many books scattered throughout the house, that I hired a computer-savvy neighborhood teenager to input the books into an Excel data file, and I have been shocked to realize that with the SFF collection my neighbor passed on to me, my TBR and my reference books, she has already logged in more than 500 books and she hasn't even started on the French and Spanish books!!
I could easily read a book every few days and have enough books to last me a couple of years without mooching any more!
Unfortunately good books keep popping up and I cannot resist!!
Chat with you soon, hugs to you and little Blanche!

Hi Spinifex

I'm afraid my angel mooch for you for 'Lucky' has been rejected. This was her reason:
"hi im sorry im not actually living in australia at the moment, so i do not have the books with me. i only just re-activated my account yesterday and havent had the chance to take the books down yet. sorry again."
She has now changed the country on her profile to China and removed all books from her inventory.

Sorry it didn't work out.

As you know, I received Royal Harlot quite awhile ago. The owner of Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War cancelled the mooch. Sorry! I'm still waiting on Easy Spanish Phrase Book. It was supposedly sent early February but I haven't received it. I've contacted the owner and requested he double check that he actually sent it but if he has, it might be lost. I will keep you updated!

i have four children, all born in different countries (Claire in Juvisy sur Orge (when her father was in the french airforce stationed at Le Bourget), Magali in El Biar (Algerie), Gregory in Vitoria,Alava, Spain and Marc in the USA.) and now I have 10 grandchildren, all born in the USA. (And obviously that is the main reason I live in the USA instead of my beloved France... I would miss them so much!!)

I'll see if my grandchildren have some books that they have outgrown and we'll start a little biblioteque pour la petite Spinifex.

And thanks again for all the "smooches" It is really my pleasure to be able to send you books!!

I was a French translator and interpreter for a number of years, and ended my "illustrious" career as assistant to the Attache culturel a l'Ambassade de France a Los Angeles,planning retrospectives of French cinema, artistic exchanges between museums and counseling Amerian students who wanted to study in France. Having dual nationality could be a plus when we see what is happening in American politics today... lol

I appreciate it, but don't go to a lot of trouble. I am coming to France in April, and plan to do some "serious" book shopping, so I would also appreciate any suggestions for an old "francophone" lady who hasnt kept up much with what is happening on the French literature scene for a while. I did manage to obtain some of J.M.G. Le Clezio's books and to be honest, I don't think he wrote anything so innovative that merited receiving last year's Nobel Prize for literature... lol

I just read some of your other messages, I didn't realize you were "expecting" congratulations! Any special little baby things/books you like me to send or bring to France??

I think I wrote the last message before my coffee. I completely forgot that when you request a book, it shows up as reserved for the requester so of course, the Spanish book is currently reserved for you. I feel slightly silly. Anyways, I shall keep an eye on it. The reservation expires in three days so I really hope I can snatch it up for then!

Sorry about any confusion :)

posted by RebeccaAnn at 6:00 pm (EST) on Jan 31, 2010

I mooched the second book you requested (I can't remember the name off the top of my head but Germs was in the title :P ). If you're still interested in the second, smaller book (I think it was a Spanish phrase book), feel free to switch the reservation to my name and I'll mooch it for you :)

posted by RebeccaAnn at 11:37 am (EST) on Jan 31, 2010

He has not rejected it so it is still reserved under your name. I'll keep an eye on it for the next few days and, when your reservation runs out, I'll try and snatch it :)

BM Angel Update: I'm angeling Pop Internationalism by Paul Krugman for you. The book has yet to even be accepted and the owner has 55 pending requests and has only successfully sent out one book. She hasn't been on BM in 26 days and, probably because of canceled mooches, her account has been put on vacation. I don't know how likely it is I'll be getting this book. I've sent her reminders and emails with no response. Would you like me to keep trying? If you'd like, I could send you Royal Harlot, the other book I have for you, so you could at least get that one, and then I can keep attempting to mooch Pop Internationalism. I also have no problem canceling. Sorry for all of this!

Umm...BTW why did I get a 2-1 deal??? That was so nice, but I don't know why, as I wanted both of them, and I also wanted to help postage vs points costs, and I wasn't angling for a deal, and you had written 3-1! I was going to give them back till I almost did a back-flip when I saw the number you have already. So I will thank you graciously; and accept them in the spirit they were given! But not necessary...I hope I can return the kindness one day.

And I am quite pleased to have found this series.. you can tell me your opinion, that would be nice.

Don't worry about notes etc...if you put the book up for mooching, and it is still on my wish-list I will try for it - you have far more important things to worry about this year! :)

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'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.

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.

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. :)

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

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.

posted by RidgewayGirl at 4:02 pm (EST) on Apr 20, 2009

I'm hovering...

posted by RidgewayGirl at 4:00 pm (EST) on Apr 20, 2009

let's try. Give me the member's name and the title so that I can hover over her inventory.

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

posted by thegreattim at 6:52 am (EST) on Apr 3, 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!
