The last giftable post was like 6 pages long and I hate being at the end of such a long list so I'm starting a new one, any one else can post their giftable books along with mine here also, be sure to come to edit and cross them off as they get requested.

I have many books on my shelf that I consider giftable. They have each been read no more than once, have no spine creases, appear brand new and have what I consider to be only mild shelf wear (if any), unless noted:


Charm School - Susan Wiggs - paperback


The Horsemasters Daughter - susan wiggs - paperback

 

Seduction of a Proper Gentleman - Victoria Alexander - paperback (brand new never read!)

 

Never Lie to a Lady - Liz Carlyle - paperback

 

The Devil Who Tamed Her - Johanna Lindsey - paperback

 

Never Deceive a Duke - Liz Carlyle - paperback

 

Dark Rival - Brenda Joyce - paperback (Brand new never read!

 

The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever - Julia Quinn - paperback


the book of scandal - Julia London


The wedding challenge - Candace Camp


the davinci code - dan brown - paperback


to distraction - stephanie laurens - paperback


A ladys secret - Jo Beverly


A lady of his own - stephanie laurens - paperback


a dangerous love - brenda joyce


the englisher - beverly lewis - paperback


Queenmaker: A novel of King Davids Queen - India Edgehill


A Good Yarn - Debbie Macomber

The other boleyn girl - philippa gregory (this one has a black mark along the bottom of the pages, like someone just dragged a marker across the bottom of the book, visible from the outside, bottom of the book, not on the inside of the pages, the book is in otherwise like new condition.)

Maximum Ride 3 - Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports - James Patterson (this book has a very small tear in the front cover but in otherwise excellent giftable condition)

These books are like new and in very giftable condition. Let me know if there's anything there that interests you.

Ok, third time trying to post this will hopefully be the charm...

Audiobook on cassette, brand new, still in original plastic:

Living the 7 Habits: Applications and Insights - Stephen R. Covey

 

Hardbacks:

Tales from the Arabian Nights - Retold by Gregory C. Aaron, Illustrated by Edmund Dulac ***This is a mini-book.  Great for a stocking-stuffer!  If you see something else on my shelf that you would like, I will throw this one in for free.

Amnesiascope - Steve Erickson

Wilderness: A Novel - Dennis Danvers

 

Wirebound hardback (It has a spiral notebook style binding, but the binding is covered by a hardback cover.)

Spa: refreshing rituals for body and soul - Leslie Wolski  ***This is a gift book published by The Body Shop.  Great to include as part of a gift basket. 

 

Paperbacks:

Slam - Lewis Shiner

The Memory Keeper's Daughter - Kim Edwards

*Wear Clean Underwear: Business Wisdom from Mom, Timeless advice from the ultimate CEO - Rhonda Abrams

*The Year of Fog - Michelle Redmond

Right Wing, Wrong Bird: Why the Tactics of the Religious Right Won't Fly with Most Christian Conservatives - Joel C. Hunter

 

Books with a * in front of them are great books that I almost kept to read again.  Highly recommended.

 

I may add some romance novels later.  I have a whole box on my shelf here that I never read, but I don't remember if they are just postable or actually giftable quality.
