Now…bring on the books!

goodbye babies, off to a new home!

So I said I would announce the winners on Saturday, and then I got busy and well…you know how that goes. But I’ve been looking at these books everyday and every day they’ve been screaming for me to get them out. So without further adieu…THE WINNERS of my FIRST Book Surprise!

So ladies, be on the look out for an email asking for your addresses so I can send you a book.

For those who weren’t picked, fear not…this is only the first instalment. I’ve got A LOT of books that need good homes.

Stay tuned!

goodbye babies, off to a new home!

So I have a lot of books. I love to read. Love walking into my local Borders, looking around, and walking home with a book. Books are like my kryptonite. My crack. I love getting lost in words, reading and writing. Devouring them. But once I’m done I rarely reread them. The mystery is gone. I know the ending, nothing is a surprise anymore. You’d think the library would be a good solution for my book addiction, but it’s something about owning a book. Supporting the author’s dream. I feel as though maybe if I support them now, my book (providing I ever finish it) won’t be such a flop later.

My bookshelves runneth over.

I simply have no more room. I won’t even take a picture of my bookshelf, it’s too embarrassing. Books stuffed so tight into each and every space. Stacked on top of each other, no rhyme or reason to its organization. It’s a book free-for-all in there and I need more space.

Unfortunately for me (but fortunately for you), I have NO more space. I’ve toyed with the idea of buying another bookshelf, but that would only make this book addiction worse. So I’ve come to the grim conclusion that I’ve got to part with some of my babies—I mean books. But this is good…for you at least.

I’ve thought about selling them to a used bookstore, selling them on Amazon, or just donating them, but I’d like my books to have a good home. So, I thought about it, and I decided to pass them onto you. This stack is but a mere sampling. After much sorting and hemming and hawing, these are the books I’m able to part with now (and just sorting THESE was a struggle). Some of them were free, most I paid GOOD money for. All of them are in great condition and a lot of them are fabulous reads (I’ve reviewed some on this here site).

SO here’s how it will work:

• If you want a book, leave a comment.
• Tell me a little bit about what you like to read.
• I will then select a book I think you might like and surprise you with it! (you can’t pick the book you want. It’s more fun this way, no?)
• In the interest of my pocketbook, I’m going to only pick 5 folks (randomly) to surprise this time around (since I’m covering shipping costs), but if you want me to send you one on YOUR dime, email me. We can make it happen.
• All I ask is that you read the book, and once done…pass it onto someone else.

People don’t read enough anymore and the English teacher in me wants to do something about it. So…leave a comment, get a book, read it and pass it on.

ps: you cannot have my Baldwin, poem anthologies, Hurston, or my bell hooks. Everything else is up for grabs.
