Children need books too
I haven’t posted about charities in awhile and now seems like the perfect time. I’ve found a charity called Bring Me a Book. It is all about giving literacy to children; it’s pricey (ranging from $200 to $800), but you also have the option of donating a dollar amount of your choice.
If you’d like to [...]

How do I???

Off Subject
I’m going off subject with this post, but oh my God! Don’t let your five year old watch Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. My daughter just about had a break down when the wolf ate Peter’s duck. (I screamed, then laughed.) There’s also a part where a soldier throws Peter in a trash can [...]

Today I was blog hopping and I [...]

A home for books
Over the course of the week, I asked questions about what to do with books I didn’t want to keep. I received excellent suggestions: giving them to Goodwill, used bookstores, nursing homes, libraries and hospitals. The winner, in my eyes, is a foundation that Rene Lyons, author of the Templar series, suggested and started in [...]

Books that aren’t keepers
What do you do with them? I seem to be on a quest this month. I want to know people’s opinions about books. I hate giving stuff to Goodwill and the homeless shelter because they sell the stuff. I want to give books to someone or place that loves books as much as I do. [...]

ARC’s after release
I feel like I’ve asked this before, but I can’t find a post about it. After you’ve read an ARC what do you do with it? The ones I really enjoyed, I’ll buy a copy of.
Is it okay to give ARC’s away to other people? Can I raffle them off or is that wrong? I’m [...]
