15 Free Books for June

My book problem post encouraged me to clean out at least 15 titles that I’ve had for too long and no longer have any desire to read.

Leave a comment, tell me which book you want and I’ll get the book to you for FREE either by mail or personally if I’ll see you soon.  The first one to request each book wins. Once you’ve ‘won’ the book I can get your shipping address if I need it.  Also, you can come back and get a free book every month if you want.  These have all been read a time or two.

    This is so sweet of you! I’m not allowed to actively acquire any more books at the moment (um…except for the library sale I’m attending this weekend…ahem…ooops), but I think it’s so cool you’re giving away so many books. Someday, when I have the spare change for all that postage, I hope to do something similar. I think it’d be easier for me to let go of books if I knew they were going to good homes!
