Looking for used book sales? Bookfinder
I would like to take some space to acknowledge the role of the Nancy Drew series in developing my love of reading and my all-time favorite author, Pearl S. Buck.
To Trade or Not To Trade? Anything on my available or tbr shelf I'd be willing to trade (US Only).
Places where I have sent or released books:
All 50 States + District of Columbia
ITALIA! Peru! Puerto Rico! St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands! Ukraine!
That's probably enough lists. Thanks for stopping by. :)
