What ever happened with the Book Exchange? Updates?

I sent my book out and all my letters. This was a whiiiile ago- about 7 weeks.

I got 2 books back in return (the cost of which probably equaled two thirds of the book I sent but eh I don't wanna complain tooo much, lol).

I have a feeling that some people thought u just send the letter and hope for the best rather than sending it to people who you already explained it to and definitely wanted to participate....

What happened with you guys?

I also got 2 books back. I kinda expected that I wouldn’t get all 36. I did however think I would get more then 2. So I just think of it as I got 2 books for the price of 1. The one book I got, I already had and it didn’t come with a gift receipt and the other one was a really cute dinosaur bedtime book.


ETA: I mailed my letter also about 6-7 weeks ago.

ITA with this. before i mailed letters out i asked everyone and explained what it entailed before i sent out the letter. i'm not sure if those people did the same.

i sent my letter out about 4-5 weeks ago and i've received 2 books. i think the person who sent it to me will benefit because i sent it to ppl who were interested. boo. Chat Icon

I never got any letter in the mail so I though the whole thing was done :(
If you can send me another letter I'll send a book out tomorrow :)

Was I supposed to send you a letter? I sent out 7- thought I got everyone who responded to me.

Unfortunately, I don't have the letter anymore.

Also, one of the two that I got back did not have a gift receipt.

I sent it out about 2 weeks ago and nothing yet. I checked with 4 of the 6 people and then I just sent it to two other people. We'll see.

Me either, I just assumed you already had enough people. I should have asked, I'm sorry.
