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."

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

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.)

meara, I generally give my books to the library. Whatever they don't want for the shelves gets sold to raise more money for the library system. Works out pretty well.
