| The Loot! |
The really did leave with boxes and bags of books. A couple friends took four boxes between them. Others took bags, and I even gave them extra bags. Then, I took collector plates right off the wall and handed them to a friend. Anything not to have to move things!

Lesa, someone could open up a mini-library with all those books. You know the roadside ones you see in pictures - converted telephone booths, etc. It's a good thing to have these pictures. It pained me to give many of my books away. The last time I did that I took a few pictures. I don't really look at the pictures, but I felt better somehow, about it. You're such a generous person.
Mini-library! That's a great idea, Nancy. I'm going to take a few of the books to a co-worker who has a mini-library. Actually, I have a few places those leftover books can go, but it just takes time to get rid of them. And, I feel bad saying "get rid of" books! I really want them to have good homes. (smile)
What time should I be there to go through the remainders?
I used to donate all my ARCS to a library in my area. They had a monthly giveaway and were so happy to get them.
But now I have a book buddy at my dermatologist office. I have light treatments once a week so she gets an ARC a week. I told that they cannot be sold but can be given away. Now those books are circulating through the whole office!
Gee the remains pile looks so tempting.
Kathy & Carol,
You two would be welcome anytime to go through the remains.
Oh, I'm terrible when it comes to getting rid of books. I have to do it in small increments and it's never very many at a time. I usually donate them to Goodwill, but, a book party sounds like fun. I'd love to hear comments and see what people pick out. Even though I'm not moving (not yet, anyway) I may take your idea and run with it!
What a great idea! Friends, food and books - doesn't get any better.
You're both right! Loved the book party. I may have to do it again sometime, and NOT move!
Help!! I have three grandaughters 12-16 who are voracious readers of all sorts of books. Need some recently published books or a good place to look for good ideas. Older one has been reading adult books for awhile.
Thanks, if you have the time during this busy move of yours.
