I finished Lost in the Wild and sent it on to someone else. What a fantastic way to share books with people who have so much in common! It says alot about the type of people who frequent this site when you can send something to a total stranger and know, that at some point, you'll get your property back!!

That said, I would like to offer one of my books. It's Root Beer Lady - the story of Dorothy Molter.

Let's do this the same way that Lost in the Wild is going around. When you finish it, seek out someone else who would like to read it. Also, leave a little note on the inside covers - preferably on a sticky-note but I wouldn't care if you write right on the inside cover.

Other than that, please treat the book as if it is yours. I'd like to be able to read it again someday.

Who's first??

Steve

Steve, be careful not to get caught sending that book to rojoyo. He lives in Ky and there are some hefty fines imposed for importing books there!

That's true...we only have three in the whole state...but that's only because we had to give our coloring books to those folks in Ohio to use...the fewer the words the better. Too funny...good thread.

RoJoYo,
I would like to request the book after you. Send me an email when you are finished with it (in our member directory) and I will send you the address.
Thanks Bloomingtonsteve for starting this book.

Hi Steve,

I received the other book today. I was thinking that we should start another book on the rounds, but could not think of which one. Good choice.

Cheers,

Grizzlygator

I have a copy of the Root Beer Lady also. I can also share it if you like and it doesn't create a problem with 2 copies going around. I wish I had read it before our last trip since we stopped at her island. it is a good quick read.

Going to Knife for the first time with three other Dads and four 8-9 year old boys in June. I would love to share with them the Dorothy Molter story. If I can, I would love to get in line to pass it on. Thanks.
 
02/14/2007 02:28PM  
Boppa...the book is on its way. Enjoy. I guess it becomes your job also to look up into the thread and to see who is in line for it next. RoJoYo Bob

I have lost track of where I was in this thread. I thought I was up after Boppa but it sounds like someone else is ahead of me. So, I am up for the next copy available. Thanks, Kanot
 
02/16/2007 11:58AM  
Whoops, Kanot, my error, you are indeed next in line once I have it and read it, it will be sent to you. PolishPaddler may be next. Sorry for the confusion.

(Says to everyone)"You're welcome!". I love the story of Dorothy and wonder if us med could live like she did!

Please send the book back to me ASAP. There's a neighbor who'd really like to read it in the next month.

I finished Root Beer Lady Bloomington Steve, would you like me to send it back to you or pass it on the the next and last person in line Jjmonk? I know that you said you want it back for a neighbor.

Let me know.
