Great Book Giveaway 2010
Yup. It’s that time again: Time to cull the bookshelves, before I lose the ability to move around the basement without toppling a pile of books.
Since I missed the book donation last year, some of these are leftover, but there is a full box of books from this year added.
Most of these books are used, however, and handful are new and unread, as on multiple occasions I pre-ordered the same book twice (damnit).
As I did last year, I’m giving away these books for free. If you want to repay me postage, (or just be nice) you can get me something from my Amazon wish list or send me a new bookmark (always needs those around here), but really, I need the space.
You want something, mention it in the comments and then e-mail me (random@klishis.com) your address so I can send the books out.

Michelle , I’d like Your Inner Fish and the cookbooks.
January 10th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
They’re yours. Anything else?
January 10th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Michelle, I’d love to try either Faith Hunter or Janny Wurts. Also, I’d love to be less scifi/fantasy only. If you could pick out (1) mystery book that was particularly good, I’d really appreciate the opportunity to read it. There are SO MANY, I never know what to buy.
Oh, and have I mentioned you’re full of awesome? :) Thanks!
January 10th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
The Faith Hunter is yours Shawn, and if no one else wants the Janny Wurts, I’ll send it along as well.
Hmm… as far as the mystery…would you like contemporary or historical? Would you be interested in an anthology? That would let you get a feeling for several authors.
January 10th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Hey Michelle, Kathy and I will take the Mercedes Lackey collection.
I should be in Morgantown one of the next two weekends to get some coal, so I’ll pick them up then.
Okay?
Del
January 10th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
YAY! I look forward to seeing you Del!
January 10th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
OK, I made a command decision Shawn–you’re getting an anthology. :)
January 10th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
As usual, I’d like you to decide what you think I’d like. I’ll be headed to your Amazon wish list as well.
January 10th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
What if I send you something you already have?
January 10th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Hmm… Do I think Nathan wants boinking books, or boink free books?
January 10th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
I don’t think I have any of the books you posted.
Boinking is Boinkerific!
January 10th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
I packed up your box already. I skipped the boinking books for now, because they’re mostly really girly. And wasn’t sure if you were into that. If you are, I can send you the Rachel Caine series. ;)
January 10th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Heheh — just got back to my ‘puter. Yes, an anthology would be great, as I have zero experience going into the proposition. Also, if I had to guess whether I’d like modern or historical mysteries, I’d venture modern would be me cup of tea.
Thanks a ton!

Oh how neat! If they’re still available, I’d love the Rachel Caine series.
January 11th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Ladytink,
E-mail me your address. I’m going to try to get the books out on Saturday (going to the post office this week is Right Out).
January 11th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Hey Michelle, I’ll give: “Last Witchfinder” – Morrow, “Labyrinth” – Kate Moss, “New Comic Fantasy”, and “Murder and other Acts of Literature” a good home.
January 11th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
They’re yours Steve. E-mail me your address!
January 11th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Although disappointed I missed the cookbooks- 5 hour webinar training class got in the way – I’d happily give the rest of the ones pictured with the New Comic Fantasy a home. (hand of flame, heart of stone are also in the same pic)
And I’ll see what you’re wishing for on Amazon, I’ve got to order a couple things for myself this week anyway.
Thank you ma’m. I certainly enjoyed the ones I got last year.
January 11th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
They’re yours Wendy!
And one of the Remy Chandler books came from Eric, so you can enjoy that angle as well!
January 11th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
It was originally from Eric? Geez…I’ll be warped for life. OK, OK, more warped.
Michelle – Please remember to write “Please leave by front door” below the label so they’ll leave it for me. They’re getting better about leaving things, but one never knows.
January 12th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
Holy crap, that’s a big pile of boxes.
If the Faye Kellerman books are still available, I’d like them. I’ve listened to a few as audiobooks and would like to fill in my 16-year gap in the series. Do you want me to tell you which ones I’ve already read, or is it easier to just send the whole lot?
Some time ago I offered you some Diane Mott Davidson books to fill in gaps for Grandmom, but I don’t think you let me know about them. Would you like me to send them?
January 12th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Susan, they’re yours.
Let me know which ones you want, unless you want them all–after all, I often want to read an entire series in order, especially if it’s been awhile.
And, Diane Mott Davidson (I’m making Michael read them off to me right now):
Catering to Nobody
Dying for Chocolate
The Cereal Murders
The Last Suppers
The Grilling Season
Prime Cut
Sticks & Scones
Chopping Spree
Dark Tort
Those are the ones I have so if you can fill any in, Grandmom will be delighted!
And if you think Rachel would like any of those, let me know and I’ll send ‘em to her.
January 12th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
I have only 3 Diane Mott Davidson’s besides the ones you already have. They are: The Main Corpse, Killer Pancake, and Tough Cookie. I’ll send them as soon as there’s a Saturday warm enough that I can stand to walk to the post office — which with any luck will be this Saturday.
The Kellerman’s I already have (as audiobooks) are: Milk and Honey, Day of Atonement, and The Ritual Bath. (Also: Blindman’s Bluff, and The Mercedes Coffin, but I don’t see them in your pile. Too bad I have them as audiobooks, or you could have them.)
The only reason I would take the ones I already have as audiobooks is to keep them together as a set (to pass on to someone else), but since it’s apparently not a complete set, that doesn’t seem as important. There are probably bazillions of them floating around anyway.
And thanks much!
January 12th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Oh! Missed your comment about Rachel. I don’t know if she would like them or not. She doesn’t seem to be too interested in mysteries, as far as I have observed, though.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:05 am
Hi,
If you still have Must Love Hellhounds I’d like that.
January 25th, 2010 at 8:04 am
I like to have BloodRing!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Sorry, all the Faith Hunter books are gone.
January 27th, 2010 at 6:08 am
I would love to have Mary Stewarts :-) Pity I missed the cookbooks and Mercedes Lackeys :-D
