Siempre que tengo posibilidad, compro los libros en Better World Books
Hello Diana,
(Your book
asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say
no?)
Holy canasta!
It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any
of over 2 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
Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the
Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to
everyone, but it's time to see the world!
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?
I know the trip
to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've
had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense
novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and
couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a
Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book
shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are
helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.
But hey, enough
about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:
We sent your

Eagerly awaiting our meeting,
