Mail Call: Cereal Box
Yep, my friend Mary sent me a cereal box full of books. When she told me this, I thought she was joking.
She wasn’t.
She didn’t even bother to cover it in brown paper from a grocery bag, like I would have done. Nope. Just tossed the books in, slapped a label on, and went to town with the tape.
I now know what cereal my friend eats for breakfast. This will be important if she ever comes to visit.
In the meantime, let me tell you about the books:
Tales from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Highway, by Marley Brant
gods behaving badly, by Marie Phillips
But enough about Me, by Jancee Dunn
AND
Paul is Undead, by Alan Goldsher
Be sure to check in at The Story Siren and The Printed Page for more Mailbox stuffings. Books are meant to be talked about (especially mine!).
I love that your friend used a cereal box to mail your books
Great idea!

Good for you!
I don’t mind receiving books even if those are wrapped in newspaper!
Here is mine!

Was that the 18 oz size or those new 9 oz boxes you don’t get much in. Interesting use of packaging. Have a great week, Tootsie.
July 19th, 2010 at 4:10 pmIf it wasn’t 18 ounces, Kaye, it was BIGGER. That was a LOT of cereal that had once lived in that box!

I guess your friend likes to recycle
Love the cover of gods behaving badly!
Happy reading!
July 19th, 2010 at 8:40 pmHow fun! What was the cereal? LOL!
Great mailbox…
July 19th, 2010 at 9:40 pmIt was an organic cereal. It looked pretty good, actually… I should have written down what it was and hunted it up at my local stores.
July 20th, 2010 at 8:00 amTales From the Rock and Roll Highway looks good.
July 26th, 2010 at 12:35 amOooh, Gods Behaving Badly is excellent! Intelligent and edgy and heart-warming all at once. And a Greek friend informed me that it was all too plausible
