Merry (Belated) Christmas and a Happy New Year! I got Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert from my youngest sister Angel on Christmas morning and Steve Erikson's Midnight Tides from the staff here in the PCH when I got back.

Hey there! Hope things are going better for you.

Did you happen to get your package I sent? Just wanted to make sure that it made its way into the right hands.....

I would make some inquiries with the Powers That Be down there and let them know that a package with your name on it [spoilers: it's books] was delivered for you on Monday, January 6th at 10:26 A.M. Hopefully they were just careless and forgot to inform you!

What address did you send it to and is there a tracking number? They haven’t been able to find it yet.

176 State Route 901, Coal Township, PA 17866

Marshallton, PA 17740

Tracking ID: 9341989718106236277999

That is the address I have used the last time or two that I sent stuff, so who knows what could have happened.

They still haven’t turned up yet. I’ll keep you informed.

I reported it to Amazon as missing and will get a refund, but that doesn't help you much.

Are there any other books you might be interested in as a gift?

If you don’t mind my asking, what were the ones you tried to send me? I would have liked to have them as a surprise, but….

“Count Zero” by William Gibson? That was on my “soon to read” list, but I can just as easily buy it on my Kindle.

It was the Witcher Series, actually. I wanted you to review it for me lol

But anyway, that is a good choice and one I will look into as soon as possible. I'll make sure to keep you up-to-date about anything headed your way from now on since we are in a 'Whisperer In Darkness'-esque scenario with missing parcels. Have you ever read anything else by Gibson?
