Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Call and ask schools or libraries if they need them?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Or a senior center? Or a prison? Anywhere people spend a lot of unscheduled time, really....

Better than Goodwill be a Friends of the Library book sale. Much better chance of them finding a good home.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Half-price books?

Hmm, looks like there is a "Books to Prisoners" group in Seattle, but they want you to donate $35 per box of books because they ship them to prisoners and say that costs $70 a box. Um, ok. Found an article on another local group, but not sure if they take books, so I emailed them. I figure for me it would be seriously cruel and unusual punishment to lock me up without books, so...yeah.

Yeah, that $35 fee is kinda wtf.

The only problem with half-price books is the likelihood of leaving with as many books as you arrive with.

Books to Prisoners Olympia does not charge to accept donations BTW, so the Seattle chapter is being "special".

Check and see if any of the youth shelters take book donations. Oooh, see if Lambert House does! (They're a queer and trans youth shelter/community center.)
