I have a copy of Auschwitz by Laurnece Rees http://www.paperbackswap.com/Auschwitz-New-History-Laurence-Rees/book/1586483579/ available for 1 credit. The book's cover and approximately 55 total pages (about 15-17 pages at the beginning, including an introduction and 38 pages when the chapters start) are wavy but in no way is the book's readability compromised.  There are currently 3 wishers. Please PM me.

I have a copy of The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton.  Some of the pages are slightly "wavy" along the upper outside edge. Then again near the back of the book are some wavy pages. It shows no water lines. The text is undamaged & completely readable. I believe there are 102 members currently wishing for this book. I would like to have a credit please. 

I also have a copy of A Place Called Wiregrass by Michael Morris.  There is a small water spot about 1" long at the bottom of the 1st 15 or so pages. The text is completely undamaged & readable. While this book is not wishlisted, it's probably the best book I've read in a long time. Loved it. I would like to have 1 credit for this book as well.

I have 1 copy of The Virgin of Flames by Chris Abani

It is on 1 wishlist!

Review:  In the Virgin of Flames Abani gives us a lyrical, daring portrait of a city and its inhabitants struggling to find their place between darkness and the sublime. Black, a mural artist, is a modern-day Hamlet searching for answers to the riddle of his past, fighting to create a whole from its fragments. This conflict is mirrored in the topography of Los Angeles, where the holy and grotesque combine in a city that reflects the struggles of post-9/11 America. Abani does not provide easy answers to any of this. Instead, he shows us characters that navigate violence and despair but retain the ability to truly care about one another and a city where, despite its urban malaise and constant veil of smoke and ash, people sing joyously in the streets. From its vivid dreamscapes to its gritty realism, Abani's novel will leave the reader breathless at the beauties and complexities of life.

Free with any book from my shelf, or 1 credit!

I have a hardcover unpostable copy of "There Are Things I Want You to Know" about Stieg Larsson and Me by Eva Gabrielsson (isbn 9781609803636); the book is about the author's close relationship with the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.  There are currently 14 wishers for the hardcover version.

The book was damaged by the USPS.  It appears to have been caught in some kind of machine.  The top left front cover and top right back cover, including the spine, looks as though something took a bite out of it.  There's a deep groove in the back cover, and the top part of the first few pages near the spine is gone, eaten by the "machine."  Despite all this, the book is entirely readable; none of the text has been harmed.  (I did my own very preliminary "patch job" using a strip of mailing tape and a piece of paper to cover part of the front).

I'm asking one credit - or free with an order of any two books from my shelf.

Thanks for looking!

Jill

I have a hardback copy of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot (372 wishers) that is unpostable.  It looks like a critter got ahold of the bottom part  and the edges of the binding of the book with some chew marks present on the binding, however, the dust jacket is intact.  There is also some minor fluid damage but the text is not obscured in any way.   I would like one credit for this book to defray postage.   

 

I  also have some paperback ARCs of Wish Listed titles, (mostly Christian fiction)  all in excellent condition.   Would like one credit for each or free with an order from my shelf.

Avenged by Janice Cantore - 42 wishers

Your Heart's Desire by Sheri Rose Shepherd - 6 wishers

Skip Rock Shallows by Jan Watson - 24 wishers

Deployed by Mel Odom - 16 wishers

24/6 by Matthew Skleeth - 15 wishers

ollow Me by David Platt - 66 wishers

Impact Player by Bobby Richardson - 2 wishers

I also still have a hardback copy of A Love of Her Own by Maggie Brendan (Heart of the West #3) which the ISBN on the book does not match the one in the system. This book has 13 wishers for the paperback version and 8 wishers for the hardback version. It is in postable condition but the ISBN is not the same as listed.

I have an unpostable copy of The Girl's Still Got It: Take a Walk with Ruth and the God Who Rocked Her World by Liz Curtis Higgs.  It has some writing in it, and the front lower right corner got a little munched by the P.O. machines.  There are 53 members wishing for this book.

I also have The Love Dare, written by Stephen and Alex Kendrick as a companion to their movie "Fireproof."  It has absolutely no writing in it.  It's just a little too worn for me to feel comfortable posting it.  This is similar to wishlisted books of the same title.

I will send either book or both books with any order from my bookshelf.  Please PM if you're interested.  I'm also a Boxer, so if you want to add either or both of these to a BoB swap, we can do that, too!

Happy reading!

~Jori

Hi, I have a copy of Nauti Temptress by Lora Leigh (207 wishers).  Many of the pages are slightly wrinkled (humidity, I think).  Asking one credit.
