I wanted to let you all know that I will be leaving PBS soon. I can't seem to stop ordering books. I am on vaction and have been going though my books getting rid of books I know . I will either not read or it will be a long while before I will read them. I have bags and bags of books I am getting rid of.Things are getting out of hand. I need to leave so I can read the books that I have left. I do not want to keep ordering books and keep them from someone who may read them right away.

I have some books on the way to me and have to send out some books.I have taken all the books off my shelf and my wishlist. I have found someone who is coming to take the books I not longer want on Monday.I really need to get this part of my life under control. I have a small apt and cannot have all these books here.I will miss all of you but I need to do this.I have been so unhappy lately with my book addiciton so out of control. I am happy again finally takeing  a step to get back control.

Gene I still am looking for the book The wreck of the medusa and will still exchange with you if you still want too.

Jen: I still will take the two books from you.They wiil be the last books I get from here but if someone else really wants the two books Please let them have them.

I will still be here for a little while longer.Until I receive the books I have on the way and send out the books that I need to send out.And till all the books I have sent out are received.

I will miss all of you but this is something I need to do.

Anne

We will really miss you, Anne! :(

(((HUGS)))

I'm all sad now!  :(  I will miss you Anne.  Good luck with everything you do!!

Felicia and Debbie: Thank you. I will miss you too.Good Luck to both of you.

Anne

Oh Anne, you will be missed.

So sorry to hear you're leaving, Anne. I hope our paths cross again some day. If it's not too much trouble I am still interested in trading the medusa books.

Genie

We will miss you Anne!  Maybe someday, you will find your way back to us.

Good luck Anne! We will miss you.

Thank you Miimi,Genie,Daphne and Tangerine- I will miss all of you too:(

Tangerine: I am reading Duma Key too. How do you like it?

I hope you will still stop in and chit chat with us, Anne!  Let us know what you are reading and what you think of it.

Michelle: I think I am going to close my account once I received all the books and mine are recieved. I will miss everyone but need to be away and try to read some of the books I have here..

Anne---We will miss you Anne!  Maybe someday, you will find your way back to us.

ITA! And I think I just sent you a book. When you are feeling ready, please do come back to us!

I'll miss you too, Anne! Stay in touch!

I just finished Duma Key and I really liked it.

Definitely come back when you get your TBR under control! We'll miss you in August's BOM discussion. I still hope you read and enjoy Black Ships!

Take care Anne!  I wish you all the best.

Colleen,Valli ,Jen and Cheryl: I will be here for a little while longer. I just sent  out books today and I am still waiting for books to come to me. I think I may stay till we read the August book since I already bought it. I took all the books off my book shelf and wishlist. I have someone coming to pick up a lot of my books on Monday. After the books are gone  I will sort my bookshelf so I can start to get the books I have left read.

Good luck Anne!  Hope you come back someday!

Thank you Holly  I will still be here for a  little while.

Oh I am just so sad. Anne, please keep in touch via email. I think of you as a good friend even though we haven't met. We've shared some great discussions and I will sorely miss your input on the forums and just chatting.

Marci:Thank you I feel you are a good friend also.Let keep in touch by email. I will be here till at least Sept. Till all the books I have sent out are received.Also I want to take part in the August BOM discussion before I leave.I am happy with the though that I will finally be able to start to read some of the books I have here.Because I do not have the room to store so many books and am in school. I need to stop getting so many books for a while.

I'm really glad that you'll be here for the August book of the month. It wouldn't feel the same without our Anne! I'm really proud of you though. You saw a problem and you are taking steps to correct it which is something not everyone is strong enough to do. I'm not! I know that I have a ridiculous amount of books now, but I keep requesting more any time a new one catches my eye. I read as much as possible and post just about everything, but they still keep piling up. I need to learn a lesson from you!

Thanks Valli I am glad I will be here too.Jen has promised to help keep me under control lol. I feel so much better now that I have all the books together.When they are picked up on Monday.I will be so happy.

I'm proud of Anne too but I am just really bummed out because I enjoy her presence and contribution to our HF community and she has been a huge part of my enjoyable PBS experience.

I think we need to throw an online going away party....
