Free Books!

First things first. I have a job! I am working at Books-A-Million (hence forward known as BAM). The prospect of a paycheck is pretty exciting. Also, the man I interviewed with seemed really nice...a good guy, so I think this will be a good experience.

Now, to the books. Most of them will be free, but I do expect a little cash for shipping. I will be cross-posting this to my livejournal and will keep it updated as people claim books. First a picture, then a list (I tried to sort by genre):

Some of them, you see, I am asking a little bit of money for. Mainly because shipping for those will be higher. Ask for as many books as you like, first come, first serve. If you know me, you know I take care of my books. The school books may have a little writing, but nothing obtrusive. All of the books are in very good condition, though The Gulag Archipelago and the Collected Poems of Millay were bought used and show a little wear.

I'm giving them away because, as most of you also know, I love my books. I want to share that love and make sure they go to a good home with people that won't use them as cupholders or to even out tables.

OOoooh. Books!

I promise not to use your books as coasters, or as building materials. I can't say that my cat won't use them as pillows, however.

Could I have the Narnia set? I'd be glad to paypal you shipping.

Can I suggest a title to try, if you enjoy fantasy by authors like Stephen Lawhead and C.S.Lewis?
"Outcasts Of Skagaray" is an action adventure fantasy, written with Christian focus. For a free preview, you can read sample chapters on www.threeswans.com.au I would love it if you read and enjoyed my book but whatever the case I greet you and invite you to visit my blog if you wish. It is http://threeswans.blogspot.com Best wishes
