FREE BOOKS!
So it came to my attention today that I had limited bookshelf space. They caused me to do a rather extensive clean out. I have two stacks of books that I no longer want. They're not all BAD reads, but most of them are more books I read when 14 or 15 and have realized that I no longer love them as much as I used to, and have no desire to read them again. So, these books will be donated to the church or the library booksales. I figured that some of you might want to try them out. I mean, they're FREE, so if you want any of the following books, just leave a comment and they're yours.
Oh and I'd apprecaite it if only people I know in real life comment cause I don't have the cash to ship any of these. And if you're a UMF student, please let me know before Friday so I can bring them to school with me.
All books are at least decent quality, some are as good as new.
