[[[Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. They don't have to be the greatest books you've ever read, just the ones that stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.

Copy these instructions and tag your friends - because I'm interested in seeing what books are in your head. ]]]

threerings, I finally read Folly!!

All hardback, all used but in good to excellent condition. 

I'd like to get rid of these fairly quickly -- by Wednesday of next week if possible, at which time I'll put them up on my Amazon sellers account.

I accept money orders or PayPal. If you're local to DFW, I'll take cash. Shipping is $2.40 per book. If you'd like to buy several items, let me know and I'll see what kind of deal I can cut you. If you're local, I can arrange a pick up and save you the shipping costs as well.

 

 Head behind the cut for listings. I'd like to sell these pretty quick -- I'll leave them here until Monday, when I'll list them on my Amazon sellers account, where the shipping costs run higher. So if you want any of these, and you want a bargain, get 'em while there here! 

PayPal preferred. If you're local, I'll take cash. If you want several items, make an offer and I'll see what I can do for you.

Shipping is $2.40 per book (new media mail rates). If you're local to DFW, we can arrange a pickup and save you the shipping costs.


 

I'll put up a list of the Queer Studies books I need to find homes for tonight. If I could get some of these sold off before the weekend, I'd be super happy -- but if not, that's Ok.

I'll leave them up til Monday, at which point those unsold will be going on my Amazon sellers account.

Keep an eye on this space. 

I'm helping a friend who is clearing out her belongings from her parents' house. She's bequeathed to me a couple large boxes of books, to keep or sell as I see fit. It's a lovely collection, but I cannot keep them all, and will be listing them on Amazon very shortly.

There is an abundance of Queer Studies classics, so I wanted to make an offer here -- if you're interested in getting first dibs (and probably a better price) than through Amazon, drop me a comment and I'll send you the list of what I have. (Or, if there's enough interest, I'll just post it here.) Also, if there's a particular queer studies title you've been looking for, drop me a comment and I'll see if I have it.

Among the titles are Postively Gay, Out For Good, The Lesbian Body, Does Your Mama Know? An Anthology of Black Lesbian Coming Out Stories, and many others.

Trust me when I tell you it pains me that I cannot keep all of these, but I want to send them to good homes.

...where I've been for the last week since returning from Santa Fe, trying to keep my Deathly Hallows experience unspoiled...

I have now finished it...
