About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

Mary has some books to pass on and wondered if you all might like a crack at them. She'll post details below. And, yes, I know it's Tuesday.
Thank you, Christine, for letting me use your blog as a way to pass along books. Most of mine are trade paper (I donate hard covers to the library & I can't read mass market: old eyes) and in pretty good condition. If you see a title you like, let me know & we can arrange a drop-off, perhaps at a favorite local book store.
Here are some titles:
Non-fiction:
Prize Winner of Defiance, OH
Buffalo in the House
Stiff
Complications
American Plague
Salt
The Family that Couldn't Sleep
Zombie Survival Guide
Sex Lives of Cannibals (travel, not porn)
Lucky
Fiction:
Memoirs of a Geisha
Outlander,Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, Fiery Cross,Breath of Snow & Ashes (TC), Echo in the Bone (TC)
Julie & Julia
Kindred
Midwives, Law of Similars, Trans-Sister Radio
Fine Balance
Red Tent
Time Traveller's Wife
Where the Heart Is
Moloka'i
Life of Pi
Slammerkin
YOINK!
I would like Salt and The Red Tent, plz!!!! :D
I'd take Stiff!
@Martha & DRD: done & done. (I was hoping you'd take more, because I'd like to recycle my bookshelves, too.)
Dang, Martha and DRD already got to some I'd like! ;) But I am also interested in Midwives and The Life of Pi, pretty please. :)
May I have Prize Winner, please? I've got an extra copy of my fave, Under the Tuscan Sun--trade ya?
@Lisa: Great! I'll bring your books in when I bring in ones for Martha & DRD.
@Christine: I'd love Under the Tuscan Sun! I'm actually trying to lighten my bookshelves, so I'll consider it a loan. I'll drop Prize Winner by on Wednesday morning.
Book transaction complete. Nice to see you, Mary.
Any other book takers? book traders?
I'd like The Time Traveller's Wife, please. Thank you Thank you!
Cooksin, Can I bring the book to Christine to pass onto you? (I LOVE this book, too. I'm so glad to see my favorites being adopted into good homes.)
Christine, Would you be agreeable to this plan?
Sure, you bet--I work Tues and Thurs nights. Thanks!
Thanks, Mary!
I picked up my package on Saturday, Mary! Thank you so much! I can't wait to curl up and read them! (after I get done playing with the slide rule, haha)
