I have ton's of books I read and have been giving them away at hospital waiting rooms and my sons doctor office since october. Figured I might as well expand it here and offer to my r.s. family as well. If your like me, a advid reader, have a love for books but find that in your area used book stores are not close to home, or you fit in the group of people that cannot afford to buy books, then this is for you!
QUALIFICATIONS:
You must be low income
Must be open to all different authors and different Categories: fiction, horror,true stories, etc.
** Books will be marked FREE,so they may not be sold after your done reading them, but you can post them free for exact shipping when your done reading them for other board members here to enjoy. Or you can Pif and leave them at doctors offices, hosptials, shelters..where ever someone would enjoy a good book.
Must be a member of this board and have feedback.
** And that's it! E-mail me your mailing info if interested, will go down the list in the order received so everyone will have a chance to enjoy free books, I will pick a different person each month and ship out 1 to 2 books to that person, depending on how much funds I have available and also depends on weight of book(hardcover books will cost me more to ship).Yes, I am paying the shipping.
Why I am doing this? Because I would like to share my love for reading with others, and I feel very blessed that although I do not have a used bookstore close to home, or have a library within walking distance, I do find great deals on books online from time to time so I can keep reading books. I read at least 2 books a month and find it so relaxing and my "me" time.

I would have to walk 4 long city blocks + take a bus. So to do the library does'nt work for me so I have to buy my books, figured there are others like me that can't get to the books for whatever reason.

I read everyday, especially when I'm on the treadmill for 70 minutes. I have so many books I bought that I have yet to read and wish there were more hours in the day. I only read non-fiction and I'm learning something new everyday. Knowledge is Power!! Sharon:)
