BookPurge 2011: WATCH THIS SPACE!

Sometime later today I will be posting the list of Emm and Jonc's Great Book Purge of 2011! :)


For those just tuning in, or playing for the first time, or just curious, here's the deal:

--We have too many books! So we're giving some away! For free!

--No, really, for free. Your payment is that they're out of our hands and into yours. We'll even pay for the mailing costs (within reason, of course...if we're sending to Mongolia, we may need to broker a PayPal deal for the international charges :p) ! If I don't have your mailing address or you've recently moved, let me know via email (joncwriter at yahoo) along with the titles you'd like.

--All books will be "first dibs gets it". You can either claim the book commenting here on LJ or emailing me directly. Although I have no problem if you want to stage a WWE Smackdown on my LJ to fight over a title. ;)

--Once the requests have stopped, we'll be donating the rest of the titles to our local library. So it's not as if they're getting tossed out, either! :)


So yes...watch this space later today for the list! :)

[meme] World Book Day!

(snagged from aberwyn :) )

What I'm reading: Currently reading Frank Brady's Orson Welles biog, Citizen Welles.

What I'm writing: Revising A Division of Souls and doing a damn good job of it! :)

Nearest book to Computer: That would be my bookcase o' reference, so...that would be the Barbara Ann Kipfer's Flip Dictionary that I got through WD Books...still a great reference, since my caffeine-addled brain tends to forget simple words now and again. :)

The book I love most: Hmm, good question. Probably Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves?

Last book I got as a gift: Richard Neer's FM: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio, which I got for Christmas, after losing my old copy years ago. A very interesting read.

Last book I gave as a gift: The Just Bento Cookbook I gave emmalyon for Christmas. :)

What I'll read next: After reading kateelliott's Crossroads trilogy (I just finished it last night), I'm taking in some shorter standalones to get through the TBR pile. In my bag is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which I haven't read since high school.

Emm and Jonc's Great Book Purge of 2011!

Hey all! Thanks for waiting! Below this here cut you'll see all the goodness we're giving away starting RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND. Feel free to let me or Emm know which books you would like, and we'll put them aside to send your way!

You can let us know by doing one of the following:

Don't forget to give me your mailing address if I don't have it already or if it's recently changed.

THE RULES
As stated earlier today:

--No, really, for free. Your payment is that they're out of our hands and into yours. We'll even pay for the mailing costs (within reason, of course...if we're sending to Mongolia, we may need to broker a PayPal deal for the international charges :p) ! If I don't have your mailing address or you've recently moved, let me know via email (joncwriter at yahoo) along with the titles you'd like.

I will be coming back to this post every now and again to update it, crossing off titles that are called for, and in a few days I'll repost the edited list.


SO! Have at it!
