Michelle, the Bookshelf Stalker > Status Update

So I sent my friend some books (in Michigan). She asked that I secured the box because her postal worker kept putting the boxes on the wet/snowy front porch. Well I "secured" it! I got this note- "Thanks Michelle for the books, it took 2 days, five swear words, and lots of creative slicing through the box without hitting the books but I managed to open the box". OOOPPPS, maybe less tape next time?
