Christmas in the Mailbox - and GoodReads disappointment




I came home and had this waiting for me in my mailbox! I was going to read Wedding Season after I finished Under the Duvet, but I think this book may have changed my mind for me. The print is TEENY though. I should probably wait for me to get my glasses. 

However, I must complain about Lens Crafters for a moment. At least the Lens Crafters that I went to in the local mall. I went to pick out new frames and then have them make the glasses. I found the most amazing pair of frames - and I stood around waiting for over 20 minutes waiting for someone to help me. There were 2 people working out in the front, and there were way too many customers for those 2 people. Even though I know this, I would have appreciated even a small tidbit of acknowledgement that I was there, waiting for them to assist me. I was a customer - one that was going to be paying. At minute 21 I left. I wasn't going to spend any more time sitting there (well, standing there) waiting to at least be acknowledged that I was in their store. (And my frames were NOT cheap. ---well, not what I would consider cheap. There were $165.50, plus what I'd have to pay them to make the lenses and then put them in the frames.) It just agitated me that they could let their customers stand there looking foolish for such long periods of time. There were other customers in the store who were there prior to me stepping foot in the store, and they hadn't been acknowledged, either. 

Goodreads has disappointed me right now. I sent out a bunch of books on their bookswap - 3 different orders to one person. I got an email saying that she hadn't received the other 2 packages. There's also no tracking on them. So I don't know what I'm supposed to tell her. I did send them out, and they haven't been returned to me. I hope that in the next few days they get to her.
