Fall exerts the same cleaning pull upon me that spring does. If I purge in every direction, simplify, streamline then all will fall beautifully into place. I steadfastly believe this. And my print junkie habits really create the most clutter in my life. The only type of clutter with which I am (unfortunately) comfortable. But new fall book releases are choice this year so some things must go. I gave to friends, co-workers, libraries but also saved six to give away here.
If you would like a chance to claim one of these titles, please leave a comment here by close of day tomorrow (Monday). If you are the only one interested in that book, it is yours. If more than one person is interested in a title, my children will hold a raffle to determine the winner. They love doing this so please do not be polite, and defer to the first person that mentions the book you really want. Sorry but just US residents this time around. No time for customs forms these days unfortunately.
