Now I really CAN go twice as high!

After long, long, LONG last, my Reading Rainbow kickstarter rewards FINALLY arrived. How "lucky" am I that my package was one of the last ones to be mailed out? From their status email, about my rewards: "[they are] at the very tail end of shipping!" (italics theirs). I felt more like they were teasing me than informing me in a happy way.

As one of my rewards was a 2015 calendar, getting it mid-February was something of an issue. It had originally been promised to be here before Christmas.

Oh well. This probably sounds grumpier than I am about it. I'm totally in love with the mug (I brought it in to work so I can show it off here), and the calendar is really spiffy (has tons of authors' birthdays and book-related holidays in it). Plus I have a car decal, magnet, and some bookmarks. (Not sure what I'll do with the decal, I've never put a non-official sticker on my car before.)

Oh huh, my calendar tells me that Levar Burton's birthday is on President's Day. Learn something new every day!

Butterfly in the sky
I can go twice as high
Take a look
It's in a book
A Reading Rainbow~

FWIW, I still don't have my rewards. I keep forgetting about it until I get a Kickstarter status update from them. :)

Ack! Mine came last night, and if I'm the tail end, yours have to be coming really soon. Strange that we're both in the last dribs and drabs of the shipments.

In their last update, they said you could email in for a status request, so maybe try that? It took them maybe two weeks to reply, so I'd hope you'd have your package before then, but might be a good thing to do anyway.

How awesome. I loved reading rainbow. I still remember my delight when they did books that I read. And years later the same with my kids.

Same! And it was a good way to find new books, too. I'm glad they're bringing it back (sort of) for the current generation.
