Everyone loves free books, right? Well, I know I do, and since I’ve got a huge stack of books in my apartment that are seeking a loving home, I want to share them with you. These books are duplicates of review copies, advance reading copies and uncorrected proofs as well as some books that I purchased. All books are in excellent (like new) shape, unless otherwise noted. I am offering them to you several times per week for the next few months, free of charge, although I will ask you to pay the cost of the shipping envelope and postage for mailing each book to you. Below the jump is a list of books that I am offering to you on a first-come first-sent basis;

The House on Fortune Street: A Novel by Margot Livesey. Review copy. Hardback (the cover is different from what you see for the paperback shown on the Amazon page). I liked this book, but didn’t get the review to a state where I wanted to share it.

If you want any of these books (or CDs), let me know which ones (in comments) and I’ll send you email asking for your address so I can get these books (or CDs, or both) shipped ASAP. I will be giving away a similar number of books every few days for the next couple months until they have all been dispersed to new homes. All unclaimed books will be donated to the NYPL. Any claimed books that I do not have mailing addresses for within 7 days of them first being spoken for will be offered to my readers once again.
