I've spent this weekend cooking and packing. Busy, busy, busy. Each week I have been putting my college textbooks out for anyone who wants them. I've also been packing bags and bags of books which my son takes to a friend of his who loves reading and loves about everything that I do. Hubby used to joke that I could start my own bookstore, and I never realized how right he was. And I still have lots of books left. These include some of my special books that I have loved with all of my heart. I know they cannot all come with me, so some I have been placing on my Kindle and others are just sitting there.
These books are too special to set out on the curb, and since I have decided to give them away, I would rather give them to someone special...and that is you, my dear readers. I've books on fairies, astrology, Native American, Celtic, Shamanism, spirituality, mythology, angels, etc. I have 'some' non-fiction, but not many. If you will email privately with your address and your interests, if I have what you wish, I will get the book out to you in week or so....as soon as I can get my son to the post office. It may be three weeks, but if I have, it is yours.
Those who dare give nothing
Are left with less than nothing;
Dear heart, you give me everything,
Which leaves you more than everything-
Though those who dare give nothing
Might judge it left you less than nothing.
Giving you everything,
I too, who once had nothing,
Am left with more than everything
As gifts for those with nothing
Who need, if not our everything,
At least a loving something.

I am definitely emailing you, Mary.
ReplyDeleteA generous offer, Mary! I'm trying to keep my own book shelves at a minimum these days though.
ReplyDeleteOh what a generous thing to do! I will not be emailing, because I, too, have enough books to open my own bookstore! But I think I will follow your example and pass on some of my lovely friends to new hands...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and generous idea Mary.
ReplyDeleteThere will be alot of happy readers out there that will value your books like you do. :0)
(((hugs)))
Oh my...I've tried to comment on here a few times and something, either blogger itself or life, has kept me mutted! I've not been a good blogger this past summer and have missed you. Sounds like you're finallyb moving?? GREAT! Now I need to take time and see if it's true; visit some past posts.
ReplyDeleteBooks? Sure! I'll email you where to send some, but I'm headed to Delaware for a week so lets wait a bit...
More in a message.
So glad to be back here:)
I have returned and I see a wonderful transformation in your spirit.
ReplyDeleteYou are embracing the change
and freely giving things that have great meaning to you.
This is what happens when we embrace change.
It is a brand new beginning for you and hubby.
Trying to play catch up here and find out if you have found a new
home yet. I hope so.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Something wonderful for Mary
who is well-deserving of a grand beautiful new home.
hugs and blessings Sharon
