Big huge book give-away.

[veek.livejournal.com]

I have books to give away. I want to get them out of my house as soon as possible. Have at the list, first come first serve, I'll be happy to leave the books on my porch clearly labeled. I live at 35 Kidder Ave, corner of Powderhouse Terrace, a purple house that's a 5-7-minute walk from the T.

I'll be going out to run errands around noon to 1pm, but otherwise will be checking for replies regularly and updating as situation warrants. Once I've replied to your comment, you can assume that the books are available for you to pick up on the porch.

(ETA 7:15pm: I'm editing the list down to just the books that haven't been taken, for ease of reading.)

Sorry, I might have misspelled something (or multiple somethings), and I know I'm missing some accents in there, but it's a long list, you know? Also, apologies in advance – there may be a couple of crossed signals somewhere, so if you don't get the book you thought was available, I'm genuinely sorry. Trying to keep it all as straight as possible.

Oh, yay yay yay! Thank you for taking so many of these, and also -- now I feel a lot less lame. I did get you tea, you know, and kept meaning to bring it by, but life got away from me, and then the tea wasn't fresh anymore, and and. And now I get to give you books instead. :)

They're all packed up and have your name on a sticky note inside the bag. I'll put them out tomorrow morning -- or, if you think you'll pick them up before 9, I'll put them out tonight and stick them in our mailbox. Which do you prefer?

[dakotakym.livejournal.com]

No need to feel lame.. I love books!

I won't be by before 9.. more likely sometime 'round 10.

Thank you!

I stopped by a bit after 10 this morning & didn't find the books; I'll return after work 'round 5. (I'll be at Massage Therapy Works in Davis all day today, if you need to reach me.. 617-684-4000. I also left you a note in your mailslot w/ my business card & personal contact info.)

Aaaaaargh! I'm so sorry. :( I had it all ready to go and by the front door, and totally spaced putting it OUT.

It's now out. Sorry again. I may be going to Davis today, depending on how some home projects go; if I do, I'll ping you and maybe bring the books by. Not sure whether that'll happen, though.

It's been that kinda weekend for me, too..
Thanks again for the bookish goodness!
