<I finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See last night. It was WONDERFUL. I highly recommend it. It was a very interesting look into two women's lives in China in the 1800's. It makes me very grateful to live now and in the US where I have choices in my own life (oh, and my feet don't have to be bound!). Now I've moved on to Wicked by Gregory Macguire. It's great so far.
Scrappy
Jackie, that's why I can't list anything I haven't read yet cause I did that once thinking I'd have plenty of time to read it and wham, it was requested that night.
>>I got a question for you, at PBS, don't they e-mail you that there's been a request for a book?
Yes, they let you know there's been a request, and you tell them either "I can mail now", "I can mail later", or "I can't mail at all"

<Thanks, Dee, that sounds like a perfect read for these hot summer nights!

Re: PBS
"When you're ready to mail the requested book, you print out the wrapper (it has the recipient's address), and notify them that it's on its way."
Uh oh ... my printer's still in the box and I really don't want to use it.
Sorry going to but in. I was relieved to find out on PBS that the wrapper comes up in Acrobat Reader and you print from there. So yes you do see the address before it prints.
Not sure if it was this thread but I'm thinking maybe about when you get a requested book and then it accidentally gets torn or has something wrong with it.
Was odd because after I read that got my first request and was getting ready to mail it out and realized I had written in it. *gasp* It was book that had blank spots to write in. I originally had meant to but was reading away and filled in stuff before I realized what I was doing. Doh! Anyway, I whited the stuff out and went ahead and mailed it. I did write a brief apology and stick it in the book.
One final thing. Are any of you listing hardbacks?
