Mod Announcement: Please slow down on sending books to LM.
Hi guys!
As of 12/28/2024, I have verified that 30 books have been sent to LM. It is not verified if he has received them yet, but there are at least that many waiting for him PLUS the probably hundreds of other books that haven't been documented in this subreddit.
Please visit the What books have been sent to LM? thread to see what has been sent.
I am going to very gently ask that we as a community slow down on sending him books because he has plenty of reading material right now PLUS I received this email from the prison yesterday:
My worry is that one of two things is going to happen:
- LM is going to have to spend his commissary money to send these books to a friend or family member or
- LM will have to make the difficult choice to just throw them away because he cannot store them.
I think it is so lovely and SO generous that so many people want to help him and give him gifts and I do want to thank the people who have already sent books - you are phenomenal!! Let's just bottle that energy up for a month or two and then resume sending books. If you would like some guidelines on how to send either letters, photos, or money, please check out the Mail to LM Master Post.
If you have any thoughts on this - let me know!
