I have a lot of books to get rid of - Including some really amazing ones, and some really embarrassing ones (don't judge me, most of these aren't mine ;-P) Fiction, chick lit, health, Jewish novels, Jewish non-fiction, books about disability, etc. Prices are negotiable - esp if you order more than one. Seriously.... make me an offer! I need cash but I also need to get this box of books out of my house. Swaps (of books or other goods) considered. Any money from these books go to helping pay my pile of medical bills, so consider it a mitzvah!

Also: I am not usually a reader of mysteries but I am completely hooked on
Faye Kellerman's detective mysteries about an Orthodox Jewish detective and his family and the cases he works on (some of which have Jewish themes, some of which don't). They read well as novels, even if you're not a mystery addict. I have a whole bunch of these I'd like to sell, and I'd love to get a buck or two for each book but I'm flexible. The titles I have are:
-Ritual Bath
-Sacred & Profane
-Grievous Sin
-Sanctuary
-Milk and Honey
-The Mercedes Coffin (one of the most recent)
-Jupiter's Bones
-The Forgotten
-False Prophet
Believe me, if you read one you will be hooked and will want them all!
