Libertine101 | "With the recent break up of my 11 year relationship with my bf, a lot of
BCers have stepped up and offered me a lot of support via email, PMs and
snail mail. To know there are people around the world who are thinking of you and caring about your wellbeing can make all the difference - especially now, having found myself living alone for the first time in my life." -Libertine101- |
| Jessibud | Ceili | "I would like to nominate jessibud for the RABCK roundup. During some dark days at the beginning of this year she sent me a little inspirational book by Mary Engelbreit. Jessibud and I had not communicated before this and I was very touched by her message of encouragement. It brought a bit of sunshine to a difficult time. " -Ceili- |
| Shadie | Jessibud | "May I nominate Shadie for your next rabck roundup? Her
Teacher Rabck (September 2004) was one of the most generous acts I've seen! I
contributed my little bit to her for it, of course, but really, the idea of what she is doing
as well as the tremendous amount of organization it must involve, is truly the definition of
*rabck*.
What a generous and thoughtful project it is!" -Jessibud- |
| Antof9 | AmyMS88 | "I would like to nominate the super wonderful Antof9 for the RABCK roundup. She saw a LJ post I made whining about the lack of dark chocolate M&M's and immediately offered to send me some. Wow, I thought, how great is that?! Well, today, I got a package containing *****SIX****** giant bags of both plain and peanut plus a book about chocolate and a Jane Austen book to help me with my goal of reading more classics. I was completely speechless. Then I was completely stuffed. She rocks!!!" -AmyMS88- |
| GreyFlank | Siriradha | "I feel particularly blessed by the people I connected with in last year's
Secret Pal program. Although the exchange is officially over, I'm still
getting surprises in the mail! Just recently, Greyflank (who sent me wonderful packages for months on end) sent me a book that he spotted on my wishlist. How nice of him to pass along one of the funniest books I've ever read, Me Talk Pretty One Day!" -Siriradha- |
| KZ4UFO | Siriradha | " KZ4UFO (to whom I sent packages during the Secret Pal program) turned the tables on me by sending hand-crafted gifts as well as a book of encouragement when our family found out my beloved FIL's lung cancer had returned." -Siriradha- |
 |
Greyflank | "Knowing my love of vampires and fantasy set against the modern world, this person, who prefers to remain anonymous, sent me a big box of Linda Hamilton books. The whole series of books about ANITA BLAKE, VAMPIRE HUNTER looking crisp and clean, obviously fresh from the bookstore's shelves. For no reason other than she's a neat person who thinks I'm somehow deserving." -Greyflank- |
| PhantomReader42 | Greyflank | " This wonderful BXer not only helped out with a donation to the Get My Mother-In-Law Back To Florida drive, but he always seems to have an eye out for nifty things he could send my way. A Saddle Club Movie Video, audio books, and bookmarks are just some of the things he sent me for no reason other than wanted to." -Greyflank- |
| Bluenoser | Owlet | " I would like to nominate the lovely Bluenoser, who keeps providing me with copies of the ABC-series by Sue Grafton, I think she has sent me most of the letters I have! The last one was "F is for Fugitive", with "G" on its way." -Owlet- |
| Dutch-flybaby | Owlet | "I would like to nominate Dutch-flybaby, who sent me a book with questions one can have about pregnancy, just out of the blue! (My baby is due in October.) I thought it was really sweet of her to have thought about that." -Owlet-" |
| SecurityBlanket | BoosterJ28 EmpireIns2 |
"We won the OBCZ Sweepstakes (I am also EmpireIns2, my OBCZ's bookshelf) and SecurityBlanket went waaaaaaaaay above and beyond by shipping us a box of 28 books!" -BoosterJ28- |
