The Great Winter Book Giveaway

[jon_chaisson]

emmalyon and I are getting rid of a handful of books, just as we did a few years ago, and we'd love to give them to you if you want them! We'll take care of all the shipping and whatnot (Media Mail ROCKS), all we ask is your address if we don't have it already. You can either post here or email me at joncwriter (at) livejournal (dot) com (it gets dropped in my Yahoo account) with what you want, and eventually (yeah, we're bad that way) we'll mail it out to you!

I was telling a friend just yesterday that I was going to get rid of some of my books. Perhaps once I get my list assembled, you might be interested in a trade? ;^D

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Tempting, though at the moment our aim is to get rid of books, not accumulate more! :p

Although I am curious as to what books you might have... :)

[nimisha.livejournal.com]

I'll have to get the list assembled. I'd like to get rid of most of them, but you know the favorites have to stay for rereads.

[nimisha.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I would like to reserve the two P.K. Dick books, if I may. I'll send an addy :^D

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Done and done! :)

[nimisha.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :^D

hey, books! wouldja look at that!

[qahawthorne.livejournal.com]

Wow, you guys are great! Not like I didn't know that before, but still.

Well, to take part of you generosity, Zed and I would like:

Applebaum, Anne--Gulag: A History
Bernstein, Jeremy--Oppenheimer: Portrait of an Enigma
Clinton, Hillary Rodham--Living History
Connor, James--Kepler's Witch: An Astronomer's Discovery of Cosmic Order...
Fields, Bertram--Royal Blood: Richard III and the Mystery of the Princes
Grant, Michael--The Ancient Mediterranean
Harvey, Brett--The Fifties: A Woman's Oral History
Joyce, James--A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Ozment, Steven--A Mighty Fortress: A New History of the German People
Turchi, Peter--Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer

Is that too much? No, seriously, too many?

And I'll e-mail you guys Zed's address, since you probably have one of mine, but his makes for easiest shipping.

Re: hey, books! wouldja look at that!

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

That's totally fine. The more the better! :p

I will say that the copy of Joyce's Portrait is one I picked up for 50c somewhere and it's obviously someone's study copy as there are notes all over it. Just thought you'd like to know beforehand! ;)

Re: hey, books! wouldja look at that!

[qahawthorne.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's a free book, right? So I'm no worse off if I hate it! But thanks for the heads up.

You guys rock. Give Emm a hug fo me! I owe her a package...shoot. Yeah I still haven't mailed anything Christmas, but for 4 gifts. I am full of teh suck, ah well!

Re: hey, books! wouldja look at that!

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

That's okay! Emm sez that she threw a few small presents for you and kaisilverwolf as well! :)

Re: hey, books! wouldja look at that!

[qahawthorne.livejournal.com]

fantastic!

Just sent you the address. Let me know if you don't get it! My keyboard's a little, oh, what's the word, crappy? And thus inconsistently sticks on certain letters, bah.

Re: hey, books! wouldja look at that!

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

NOthing yet, but then again, Yahoo is known for its delayed reactions now and again. ;)

[vg-ford.livejournal.com]

I'd be interested in the two Stitch 'n Bitch books and the Golden Compass.

Let me know.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Not a problem! I'll set them aside for you.

Speaking of books, wasn't I supposed to order a few of your books from you at some point? I seem to have forgotten all about that...

[vg-ford.livejournal.com]

I have copies of all of them - including the Author's Grimoire, which is the one that's what to do after you've finished the book. :)

Email me at vg_ford at yahoo dot com and we'll talk. ;)

[temaranight.livejournal.com]

Bookhenge! :)

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

bonniers wins for having the longest list of the evening! :)

Other people already requested the Ozment, Stoller and Turchi books, but I can send everything else! :)

Re: Bookhenge! :)

[bonniers.livejournal.com]

Uh, sorry? :)

Not all of them are for me. The Regan is going directly to youngest son, who is currently playing Assassin's Creed. He's curious about the actual history they're using. The rest will probably eventually make their way to my daughter and thence into the ESPN reading circles :)

Do you have my snail mail? I don't remember if I gave it to you when you still lived out here.

Re: Bookhenge! :)

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Well, at least they're going to a good home! :)

And no, I don't think I ever got your snail mail. Send it along and I'll try to mail them out soon. :)

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

I would love the "Book of the Short Sun" by Gene Wolfe but that's the only one I see off the top of my head that I want. I would love to take some time tomorrow and google some of the others to see what looks interesting. But keep the Gene Wolfe for me please. :D

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Still available, I'll put it aside! :)

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

Okay I just started my research and I would also love:
Rowland, Laura Joh--The Assassin's Touch. I wanted 'Calculating God' but I see someone grabbed it! Sadness. lol

[liret.livejournal.com]

I would love to have any of these:

Carroll, James--Constantine's Sword: A History
Erickson, Carolly--The Girl from Botany Bay
McCrumb, Sharyn--Bimbos of the Death Sun
Knight, E.E.--The Vampire Earth Book I: Way of the Wolf
Knight, E.E.--The Vampire Earth Book II: Choice of the Cat

Friesner, Esther--Majyk By Hook or Crook
Lethem, Jonathan--Gun, with Occasional Music
Penman, Sharon Kay--Dragon's Lair

This is very generous of you. THank you! I should think about doing something similar. Goodness knows my husband thinks we have too many books.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Not a problem! Glad we're getting rid of all of these! That is, we're creating room for more... ;)

Am pulling them now, and will probably mail them soon, perhaps this weekend.

Don't forget to email me your address! ;)
