Thanks for joining!

On its way to spaceystacey.

Received in the post yesterday. Will be reading during the month of October.


I just love the character off ODD and the way he speaks.


08/31/2009 Updated to say that I had offered tori58 Forever Odd that I had just received in the post this month. She stated that she would pass as she had never received Odd Hours :-(. I know that she had sent me her address several times, I know that there was a search for me about the address and Pm's getting through about 6 months ago.

Book was posted out to the next reader around March/April.

*****re-edited to add: When this book was finally received by Tori58 she sent me several pm's all in anger about not wanting the book, wanting to make sure I did not send her Forever Odd and to make sure that I understood that she was annoyed at having to send a book on that she did not request and had no time to read. I had written back to her at each time. I did ask her to check the postmark to verify when the postoffice recorded the book as being sent off. I received no response to this request.

This book arrived with considerable water damage. If spaceystacey had pm'd me before sending it to me MONTHS after I sent her my address, I could have told her that I don't have time to read it nor do I have any interest at this point in time. So now I'm stuck mailing on a book that I didn't want and did not read.

Arrived safely! I have 2 other books to read before I can get started on this, but am looking forward to reading it very soon, and will get it moving along again ASAP.

Update: Odd Thomas is such a loveable character, and while this was not my favorite of the 'Oddie' books, it was still an enjoyable read.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

After several attempts (through PMs and forum 'ISO' thread), I haven't been able to get ahold of sarradee, so the book is now moving along to the next in line, oi-reader.
