Free To Good Home: The Giveaway

Books....are....everywhere. Even ones I decided to get rid of long ago. There are piles in every room. There are A) the books I shouldn't have picked up at BEA, B) books I shouldn't have let people send me for review, C) books I shouldn't have purchased, D) books people gave me as gifts that I have no interest in, E) still lesser known ARCs that I've already read and F) random used books that I knew I probably wouldn't like and for some reason let people give to me anyway. They've all accumulated to produce an epic and mind-blowing explosion of books that is beginning to make living at my house among them and the rest of my assorted accumulated stuff a terror.

So fair readers, I am here to ask you a favor. Please take my books. This house is badly in need of a book purge, and my gain can also be your gain. I've chosen a random assortment to present to you in hopes that you'll take them off my hands. Some, I'd prefer went to bloggers because I somewhat mistakenly picked them up at BEA or accepted them as review copies only to find that they're not well suited to me, but I'd still like to see someone review them, even if that someone is not me. Others are fair game for everyone.

I've also decided that I'm not in the mood for a massive comment leaving, Random.org choosing, behemoth of a giveaway, so I'm going the first come first served route. If you see a book on the list and you want it, leave a comment to claim it, then send your snail mail address to toadacious1 at yahoo dot com. One per person please. Please note, all but the "BEA Mistakes" category stand the chance of coming with a Bookcrossing label in them. You, of course, are not required to journal them (even though I would like that), but I'd appreciate it if you would leave the label intact in case you ever happen to give the books away to people who might journal them. If the prospect of the book having a Bookcrossing label in it displeases you, please don't enter.

I love my international friends, but I also love having a few bucks in my checking account, so I will give away books to those outside the U.S., but only 3. Please put your country in your "book claiming" comment so that I will know when to cut off international entries. Also, please note, some books I've made U.S. only right off the bat because they're big heavy hardbacks or otherwise massive.

All right, I think I've covered all the rules and regulations and exceptions to the exceptions. Now, on to the books!

--------------------------
First the BEA mistakes. They look good, but not so good for me.

The first 4 are ARCs of middle grade titles coming in the fall from Little, Brown.

President of the Whole Fifth Grade by Sherri Winston
Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream by Jenny Han
School of Fear: Class Is Not Dismissed! by Gitty Daneshvari
Tumtum and Nutmeg: The Rose Cottage Tales by Emily Bearn

Then, a nice hardback book that came in a tote bag that I didn't know contained a book!

The 72 Names of God by Yehuda Berg

And a book that was pressed into my hands at the last minute that seemed a bit a lot too sci-fi for my tastes...

Redemption Corps (An Imperial Guard Novel) by Rob Sanders
