Bought for secret Santa 2021

Merry Christmas

Ex Library book

This is the dispatch note that I received, It made me giggle and as this is a site that like history of our books, I thought I'd include it.

(Your book(s) wanted to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?)

Holy moly! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over half a million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Dunfermline, Scotland already!

I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Jane Eyre (drama queen) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?

Will be posted out for Secret Santa 2021

Thank you Santa for this Wishlist book. I read a lot of this series years ago and am looking to revisiting these books.

I read a lot of these years ago and I don't remember this one. A trip to the Arctic with stubborn Yorkshiremen hunting whales, treachery and a French privateer thrown in, makes for a good read. Enjoyed it.

Happy Christmas. I meant to to send you this a while ago, but it got mislaid. Hope you haven't read it.

What a lovely surprise. Many thanks for sharing I look forward to reading it.
