  Christmas In July Sign ups

  Ok I'm putting poor Round Robin out of it's misery since noone voted for it:( If you'd like to participate in Christmas in July please sign up from now til the 15th of June.

  1) If you sign up, please make sure you are committed to playing and sending a book to your gift recipiant. We had 29 people play last time and only had two who didn't get a thing, and one of those was lost in the mail. So that is a pretty good record.

  2) When you mail your book please Email me so I know.

  3) When you sign up please send me your home address to Captaintjf@aol.com. Even if you participated last time, please resend your name, address and shelfari name to me.

  Thank you in advance!!

    In July everyone will be paired. It's like a Secret Santa but in July! Say you got me (You won't I won't be playing) yu go to my Wish list see if I want a book you may have or a simular author. And then you send it to me. It's a gently loved book that will get a new home:)

    I hate to disappoint you but I am Gayle, I don't know where my mother got the spelling from and as she is no longer with us I can't ask her. She told me she just heard the namebeing called when she was expecting me and liked it. Real nice way to get a name, I have always wanted to have a different name, I have Five younger sisters and they all got better names ( Kathryn, Barbara, Judith, Christine and Joan). I had one brother (William) after my dad. I guess being the oldest, she got the nuttiest out of her system and picked family names for the rest) Or maybe I should look at it as I am SPECIAL, now that makes me feel better!!

    I know what you mean about the name, I have 3 sisters, Debbie, Laurie, and Faith. My brothers were William (after my dad) and Robert. I am named after Gale Storm, the actress that played in "My Little Margie." I am also the oldest. Boy have I dated myself or what! I bet there are many who have never heard of this show! Thanks for sharing, Gayle.

    Gale Storm, I remember her, so we are both showing our age!! I thing it was the spelling I hated the most. All of my girlfriends could get any kind of ID jewelery off the rack, so to speak, but not me. I had to wait for my birthday or Christmas because it had to be ordered from the jeweler. What a bummer that was!! But I hope I am finally over the bad feeling and getting on with life with a sunny outlook.

  I just sent you my information. Forgot to add my Shelfari name in the email, but I think you will figure it out.....
  Can't wait to get my person's name so I can go book shopping on my bookcase! I especially like going to my person's shelf and hoping they have something on the TBR list that I have sitting on my shelf. If not, I have been known to go to the second hand bookstore to find a copy of something I really want to give.
  Thank you so much for doing this.

  I'm doing it!

  I have to update my "wish list" but can we also go by what people like to read? Do you try to match people that like the same stuff up?? I am doing a "chain" letter book swap with my aunt, and I have no way of knowing if I am sending the person something they would really like to read or not, a little weird, no?

  Just curious!

  Hi, Tenia and everybody!

  Whew! I just updated my wish list, although I am sure I will find things I left off or I bought over the year and forgot to remove. Yikes!!!! Well, at least now it kinda sorta more-or-less maybe matches my paperbackswap.com wish list and some of my reminder list...and then some. LOL!

  Tenia, are you going to send us our Secret Reader in the email? I kind of need to know about when you might do that because I am so behind on my email right now that I am doing a lot of mass deletes. But, I don't want to miss the infro...and disappoint someone.
