Haha, we have three or four copies of LWW too. Actually we have at least three complete sets of the CoN, all random different editions.
Hmm, if we all had wishlists, then perhaps if someone saw a copy of a
book someone wanted at a thrift shop or yard sale, then we could buy it
to trade! So, like, we'd all have our own post in the thread, and we'd
keep it edited with what books we have and what books we are looking
for.
I was thinking that too. If you post any particular titles I'll be on the lookout for them.
ForeverFan might be interested in the Roy Rogers stuff if you want to PM her, she's really into that.
Found some stuff I could be persuaded to part with (shock of shocks) and/or have two copies of. I think I am becoming less attached to my books than I used to be...
Lyddie by Katherine Paterson--HF about a Massachusetts mill girl. No objectionable content that I remember. A little worn, I got it used.
The Giver--as mentioned. Fairly good condition. Might have a couple library stickers. Nothing bad in it really although a few parts are a bit disturbing. YA dystopia/futuristic/technically-sci-fi-but-not-really
The South Beach Diet--LOL, this was my mum's donation when I was really into Bookmooch, but there are ten thousand something copies listed so no one wanted it. TAKE IT! (Actually, don't, 'cause it's really heavy. It can just rot on my shelf XD)
Dragon Spell by Donita K. Paul (autographed!) Won that in last year's Read-a-thon actually, so it would be cool to give it to another Incredibook-er. It's Christian fantasy. Like new.
The Hobbit--I don't remember if I have two copies of this or if I gave one to my brother. Will check.
Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner--I love these books.
They're a lot more clever than I realised when I read them at age eight! One of the books has some very slight water damage and some poem or something someone wrote in the front. Pretty good condition otherwise, but used.
Various L.M. Montgomery books
A bunch of Orphan Train Adventures by Joan Lowery Nixon (HF)
Half Magic by Edward Eager--one of those four-kids-have-an-adventure Nesbitish classicish type books. No objectionable content that I remember. The magic in question is typical fairy tale/fantasy magic. Nothing dark.
Mattimeo, Mariel of Redwall, and Mossflower. Kind of beat up. One (I think it's Mattimeo) is held together by a rubber band. Good books though, and all the pages are there. (I think :P) YA fantasy, not Christian but Christian worldview.
Papa's Wife and Papa's Daughter--story of a Swedish immigrant family. Sort of beat up. No objectionable content in the first, haven't read the second.
The Story of the Von Trapp Family Singers--old copy with tacky 70s cover, but it's a great story.
Vienna Prelude--Pre-WWII HF. Christian.
I also have a lot of classics like The Secret Garden and Little Women and Peter Pan and Oliver Twist, and a bunch of Frank Peretti novels (The Darkness books, Prophet, The Oath), that I don't have two copies of but wouldn't mind trading because they're so easy to find in used bookstores around here. I have some writing books but I don't remember the titles--I'll check when I get home.
If anyone has a copy of The New Treasure Seekers, I claim it!
Re. BookMooch: I don't remember having to post ten books right away...I was on there forever before I ever sent or mooched anything. You do get 1/10th of a point for every book you list, though (so you could list ten, mooch one, and then unlist your ten). In practise it's a lot more flexible than the description makes it sound--you can always put in your profile that it might be a while before you can send things (I did, as I can only get over the border to the American post office every few weeks) and people usually don't mind. *end shameless promotion*
Re. knitting: I was thinking probably a tuque and/or black fingerless gloves, is that doable? (Assuming you want any of the above books of course, which you probably don't. ;))
