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.

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."

meara, you can also call the YMCA and see if they want them for their Welcome Centers. Or you can get some boy scout or girl scout to make you a Little Free Library as their service project and you can slowly release them into the wild. It'll take longer, but oh so fun.
Or you can call a teacher at your local high school and ask if she would take book donations for a classroom library, or drop them by the front office of a school. Or a tribal school.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If Lambert House takes donations, I think they are a really good new home for books.

Punishingly Intricate
As a kid/teenager I would've KILLED to get a huge number of books like this, but I don't think I know any locally who would want them?

What Kat said! We've given our friend who's a hs English teacher in Bmore City a bunch of books & graphic novels for her classroom library and the kids LOVE it!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well.
That was the hottest hot mess I have ever read in my life.
And I've read Twilight.

You finish Allegiant? (Also, did you get my email this morning?)

Yes and yes. And I'm very sad about the latter. A person in our party bowed out today so my friend and I are trying to decide if we're going to make it down or try to sell the tickets. Either way, we now have two tickets available.

Let me know if you come down and have time to stop for coffee or ice cream or whatnot. We have LOTS of whatnot.
And Allegiant, what the hell, right? Such a hot mess.

I'm hoping time for dinner. AND ALSO SOME WHATNOT.
As for Allegiant - I just don't even know. I'm so annoyed by it, I feel like I can't even process it.
