January 2013 Culling of the Book Shelves

2013 is a big year for me. I’m turning 40 (gasp, swoon) the blog turns 5 in December, and I’m simplifying my life. No more holding onto stuff I’ll never use. And no more holding onto books that realistically, I’ll never get to, or I’ve read and probably won’t crack open again. However, it doesn't mean someone else out there might not want these books, so my loss is your gain. If you’re interested, of course.

This month I am offering up your choice of the following :

The Grail King and Deep Magic by Joy Nash (Two books together)

On the Run by Iris Johansen

Six Seconds by Rick Mofina and Murderers’Club by P.D. Martin

(Two books together. I received them together so I’m giving them away together.)

Cutting Loose by Nadine Dajani

A Circle of Souls by Preetham Grandhi

The Recipe Club by Andrea Israel and Nancy Garfinkel

Here are the rules:

U.S. addresses only and no P.O. Boxes. (sorry!)
Leave a comment on this post with your email and your first and second choice of book(s)
There will be two winners: 1^st place will receive their first choice of book, and 2^nd place will also get their first choice, unless it’s taken, thereby receiving their second choice of book.
Contest runs until midnight, EST, Friday February 1,2013.

Good luck everyone J

You sound like me. I turn 37 in August, my blog turns 4, and I'm allll about simplifying this year. I'm a minimalist by nature (have been since I was 11-12) but this year I'm reallllly going to another level. Digging deep. Isn't the best feeling? *high five*

Good luck.
Awesome contest.

Hi Jenny,
Long time no post for me. Life just got in the way. Now things are more manageable, so I thought I would start blogging Historical Fiction again!
I would love to enter your contest, after all girlfriend you were my blogging inspiration to start with :-). I would love to win Six Seconds and Murder's Club. Stop by my blog I'll be posting now.

Susie! So glad to hear from you! Hope life has calmed down a bit. It can be pesky and messy sometimes. Consider yourself entered, and I can NOT believe I was your inspiration. Thank you :)

I have so many, and I'm never going to get to them. I figure someone else should benefit :)

Oh my, are you sure about The Recipe Club? That made my top reads one year :P
Great idea to pass on books this way though.

Yes, I;m sure. I read it back in 2009, and haven't opened it since. Not that I didn't like it, just won't use it. Was a good book though :)
