Okay, its my turn to mail out a book! Basically, how this works is Heidi and I will make a list of participants that are interested--I will ship it out to the first person on the list, then when that person is done, they will ship it to the next person on the list, etc. I would suggest sending a PM to the person when you need their address for shipping. At this point, I think its US and Canada, because shipping charges are so much to send a book overseas.


It’s 1950, and as the French Quarter of New Orleans simmers with secrets, seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine is silently stirring a pot of her own. Known among locals as the daughter of a brothel prostitute, Josie wants more out of life than the Big Easy has to offer.

She devises a plan get out, but a mysterious death in the Quarter leaves Josie tangled in an investigation that will challenge her allegiance to her mother, her conscience, and Willie Woodley, the brusque madam on Conti Street. Josie is caught between the dream of an elite college and a clandestine underworld. New Orleans lures her in her quest for truth, dangling temptation at every turn, and escalating to the ultimate test.

With characters as captivating as those in her internationally bestselling novel Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys skillfully creates a rich story of secrets, lies, and the haunting reminder that decisions can shape our destiny.

I would ask that anyone who is interested be 100% certain and if possible a regular poster here because I truly want this to work this time. Also, as you will be expected to mail the book to the next person so there will be some monetary costs for shipping to keep in mind. Anyway I hope I get some takers on this and can come up with an awesome list of places to mail my book. All I ask is that once you get it you put a blurb on here to let us know it arrived and it would rock if you would also place a post card or note in the book before you mail it so I can take pictures of them all when I get the book back *crosses fingers* so everyone can see them. If you are interested (PLEASE BE SERIOUS) put your name here and where you live so I can start a list. WOOT!

I joined in last year's book "around the world" and it was exciting to pull out "the book" and see everyone's postcards/swag they included! Plus the book was a great read!!

I hope it goes well too!! *crossing fingers* thank you for sharing your books !! I'm pretty excited to read this one.

Yay!!!!!

OOOPs, so sorry Darcy, I'll add you in!!

for people in Ontario. should we list from where in ontario we are from? i mean if we're all from toronto we could just meet and give the book and save the money. only an idea.

Bluemoon, you guys sure can message each other, if its easier to meet in person, that's up to you guys!

Just posting for any newbies to this, ignore if you've done this before:
When you are done with your read, you'll just look at the next person on the list, and message them to get their address to mail to them!
If its been a week and they still haven't contacted you back, let me know please!
And to everyone else, try to keep up on this thread as much as possible so you know when you are coming up!

Oooh, I'm right in the middle this time. I'll get to see what "treasures" folks put in first hand. This is exciting.

I was next to last the last time and I had so much fun looking at all the treasures! :)

:D

well im from toronto. i was just saying for peolple to put where they are from ontario since ontario is pretty big. its a waste for us to send to peterborough then toronto and then peterborough again.

If you guys need to switch it up a bit, that's fine by me!

Just added in the famous David Estes, WOOT!!!

Yay!! I'm first (does a little dance) haha
