Subtitled : Ho-lee Mo-lee that scared me at first!
Well, I just a package and a letter in the mail. The package excited me, but the letter startled me. The front top corner had something about a vehicle and so I opened it and my heart started racing.
Had my identity been stolen?
It was talking about a warranty on a car that I don't own. I did a check online to find out they were a scammer but I had a family member read the letter as well to confirm.
My nerves were too frayed and I wanted a second opinion.
With that mess sorted, I opened my package and you will see the books that I received in the picture.
(I also signed up for Book Of The Month Club, I know naughty me!)
Anyway, The Creeper part of this discussion refers to a friend request I got on facebook. Apparently friends with my brother in law (who doesnt' know any better and adds people on facebook all the time I think).
I deleted the request and maybe I should send my brother in law a message letting him know.

I don't have a car either. Nor do I have a license. I've driven before though, just not something I am comfortable with doing.
Yes, I really need to organize them, but then a lot more needs to be done before I can get to that.
I get some weird requests from time to time. I'm sure this requester is either not a real person, or is just a creep.

@Courage7 I've got that book by my side. I pick it up every once in awhile. I'm reading another one at the same time, a little novella.
I vacuumed today. I told myself I would accomplish rearranging my dresser, vacuuming and starting a load of laundry.
Don't hire me to do your cleaning, it won't get done.
Don't get me wrong, I do clean, it just never gets done when I say it will.

Yes, so many of them. I still don't have things anywhere near where I'm comfortable with taking a picture. There's too much of a mess. I also need to do the cataloging of all of these books, putting them in the order I want.
I get friend requests from other countries sometimes, but it's very rare.

@JustBhem It's just a matter of how I want to do it. Should I sort them by genre or alphabetically by author?

I know you can sort your books, Amber.

I get those car warranty letters all the time and they go straight into the shredder.
Looks like you got some good books

Yeah, but this was the first I had gotten and it was a bit disconcerting. Yup, I've really got these shelves filling up.

I was just glad to receive the books today, the tracking wasn't up to date on them.
Yeah, I'm also glad that the scare is over.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Enjoy reading all your good books. I have a good book I want to read if I ever get the time.

@RubyHawk I am still trying to get through this one book. It is getting pretty interesting though, and I am thinking of writing a mid-way review of it since I am halfway through with it.
I think tomorrow I should dedicate a few hours to just reading.

Most friend requests came to my attention a few years later, so they wouldn't be offended if I ignored them.

I don't get alerted to all the ones that come through, and this includes the messages. This one I saw and promptly declined.
