Been sending them for years although a little less lately. My ex still sends me postcards when he goes to faraway places, also my old travelling BFF who travels more than I do these days.

I'm fascinated by them as most start out with "book lover" so you limit the amount of men who would write "lovesick 16 year old". Geography is nothing.<br />My vote is for postcards. They can be used for bookmarks, and yet throw a stamp on that puppy and it can travel the world which is really perfect for your book.<br />Every now and again, my husband sends me a postcard, so maybe I just have a weakness for seeing that small private note so public, wondering how many eyes read it before it got to me.<br />-LyraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291389383714567128.post-87372274598774154372012-03-07T06:12:39.468-08:002012-03-07T06:12:39.468-08:00Me too!
