Virtual Book Sale! Come one, come all!

Filed under: The Writing Life — jenny @ 9:53 am

Lorie Ham, of the online magazine Kings River Life, which focuses on life around the Kings River of California, is having a book sale.

There’s little I love more than a book sale. When I was a kid in school the yearly book sale got me through. I can still remember when it came my class’s turn to get to go down to the cafeteria, which had been magically turned into a utopia and cornucopia of books.

Tables usually reserved for the humdrum task of eating (and I love to eat) were now spread with one book after another, each ripe, bursting to be turned over to learn about the world to which a mere four or five dollars would buy transportation.

If any of you feel the same, please support Lorie in a very important quest, and pick up a treat or two for yourself at the same time. Just look over the list below, then contact Lorie at mysteryrat(at)gmail(dot)com to arrange shipping!

Special deals can be made if you purchase several books:
