| Newk | Libertine101 | "Newk is one of my fave Aussie BCers and I had the pleasure of meeting him too. He has sent me various RABCKs over time but just recently, he sent me another which included a box of chocolates to help cheer me up - something I have been in sore need of since my partner broke up with me. *hugs to newk*" -Libertine101- |
| Hootnoodle | Kz4ufo | "I'd like to nominate "hootnoodle" for the RABCK Round-up. I received a surprise package from hootnoodle that not only made my day, but it included a book I cannot even find at my local library! She is one of the most dedicated BookCrossers I know and it is such a pleasure to know her." -Kz4ufo- |
| Pashmack | FizzFred | "I would love to nominate Pashmack for your RABCK Round-up. She found out that I was looking for foreign coins for the toothfairy to give my kids and generously send 3 beautiful coins from Iran. We have mostly European coins so it was really nice to get some from the Middle East! I am trying to teach my kids about geography and different cultures and pashmack has really helped." -FizzFred- |
| Antof9 | BlueAmazon | "Antof9 goes above and beyond always. Recently she BOUGHT a hardback copy of The History of Love, registered it, and sent it to me because she thought I would like it! What a fabulous BXer! I already know who I'm going to RABCK to, because, in the spirit of Antof9, I have to pay it forward!!" -BlueAmazon- |
| Spark | WingedMan | "I would like to suggest Spark, for many reasons, that she will understand. She's a wonderful person!" -WingedMan- |
| Beteljooz | Libertine101 | "Beteljooz has shown me kindness and amazing generosity. I
am not sure if he will want it made public or not (I hope he does) but his
latest RABCK to me involved a gift certificate from the BC supply store. I
have been having a hard time getting a credit card and so could not order
online from the BCer store. I have been eyeing off something in the Store
and now I can get it, thanks to his thoughtfulness and generosity! All in all, I have been blessed time and time over by any wonderful BCers around the world!" -Libertine101- |
| SerenityBlue | WingedMan | "SerenityBlue is a very kind and caring BC'er. She's always reaching out to do something for others. She's a very special person and her friendship means a lot to me." -WingedMan- |
| Constantweader | Libertine101 | "Seems you better keep constantweader's name up on there on a permanent basis! She has struck again! :) Two suprise rabcks with a kitty theme for me, to help me cheer up a bit. How sweet of her!" -Libertine101- |
| NWPassage | Libertine101 | "I'd like to nominate nwpassage. Justgot in the mail, not one but THREE suprise rabcks from my WishList from her! They came at a time when I was feeling very very low. I don't know how they do it, but BCers have the most amazing timing. This act of kindness brought some light and cheer into my day." -Libertine101- |
| Jamesmum | Bluenoser | "I'd like to nominate 'jamesmum' for your RABCK Round-up.
I first "met" her on-line when she offered to send me a heavy hardcover
book as a RABCK. Last year when she was visiting her mother here in Nova
Scotia we met face-to-face and again she gave me some wonderful books. This Spring she heard that friends of mine (cafe-eymet)in the tiny town of Eymet, in France, were starting a bilingual OBCZ in their cyber-café and wonderful jamesmum sent 45 books in an international media mail bag to stock the OBCZ shelves. In April this year she left 2 RABCKs for me to pick up at her mother's house. Now she is back in Nova Scotia, again with RABCKs for me, and has invited a couple of us to a mini meet-up at her mother's beautiful B&B. Jamesmum has become a true friend as well as a feeder of my addiction." -Bluenoser- |
| MarciNYC | Libertine101 | "MarciNYC has shown me kindness and generosity several times over. And she has done it again with a suprise rabck. Its great when you get a book sent to you without any warning, and it happens to be a book you have never heard of, though by the looks of it, you know will interest you greatly. Thanks Marci!!" -Libertine101- |
| Sonia23 | Libertine101 | "Sonia23 who sent me a CD of Nick Cave's music to listen to, along with the most lovely card and message inside. Thanks so much!" -Libertine101- |
| Ozone-Nut | Libertine101 | "Ozone-nut sent me an rabck to lift my spirits - a book of poems to bring me some hope and cheer. Thank you!" -Libertine101- |
| Garnetfairy | BoosterJ28 | "Garnetfairy and I were paired up for the Birthday RABCK project. Since the pairing, we have enjoyed e-mails back and forth. But she has gone out of her way to hunt down books on my Wish List and send them to me as surprises. She's even made me original, personalized bookplates and sent me an adorable bookmark. -BoosterJ28- |
