Today, I went to the post office and found two pick-up cards. One was from Nivea (this was something I was expecting) and the other was something I wasn't. I picked up the book and opened it to find a beautiful new book slid out of the envelope and into my hands. It was wrapped in a green paper bag and still had the price on it (I didn't really notice how much it was; and automatically took it off). It was a book which had been on my Wish List on Bookcrossing since 2009; 'Owls Do Cry' by Janet Frame, a writer from New Zealand whose only work I have is her biography - 'Wrestling With the Angel' by Michael King - and what a tome of a book that is! It's so densely written, I've found it hard to read.
However, this book was also a part of Mission Bookcrossing - a game I'm playing on Bookcrossing -and I'm happy to say that I'm still active in the game; seeing I got the answer to my clue right!
Thank you Izzy5000 for sending me a brilliant book to read... I can't wait to read to get into it this Winter.
