Hi All!

There's a huge book sale coming up around my house this weekend. I'm going to be looking for Diana Blayne/Diana Plamer oldies. Does anyone have any hard to finds that want me to look for?

Just let me know!

Went to the book sale, but didn't find as much as I usually do. Actually ended up buying more nonfiction than romance!

Did find a Susan Kyle, After Midnight - that I didn't mind rereading.

Sorry for the late post about it, but I forgot since my haul wasn't that great.

[Bargainbooks]

Liquidating my entire collection of romance books:
I had over 1200 now I only have 157. Yay!

If anyone is interested the titles and authors are listed on the webpage.

Hmm. That's tempting. Why are you getting rid of your books, i fyou don't mind me asking?

[Bargainbooks]

I don't mind at all!

Mainly because we're supposed to be moving and so I need to lighten what I'm taking with me. I sold just about all my extra printers (about 5) on Amazon and so the books were the next step.

The other reason is I'm trying to develop a more active lifestyle, I'm 26 and right now I find it more interesting to curl up and read a good book than to go out.

So with a job that's mainly desk work and then curling up in my free time - I've packed on some excess pounds that I want to take off and having such a huge collection of books that I enjoy is much more tempting than getting on my bike or the numerous other exercise machines staring at me right now!

And I've tried the whole reading while exercising, but I get so involved with the book that I stop excercising and sit on the chaise. LOL

I guess it's all leading up to a lifestyle change for me!

So those are the major two reasons.

Is there anyway to make it an irresistible offer for you!?! :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

It's a great offer. I probably shouldn't be buying so many books, but I'm thinking about buying them all the same. ;)

[Bargainbooks]

Great!

Have you read Diana Palmer's Nora yet?

There are three books I haven't included:
Diana Palmer Nora - brand new - only read once
Diana Palmer Lawless - Ex Library Hardcover
Diana Palmer Desparado - Ex Library Hardcover

I'll throw those in the box too - if you like!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

I have all the DPs, but thanks anyway. Maybe there is a good home for those. I'll think on it some more.

[Bargainbooks]

No problem!

You know I sometimes wonder If I'm going to be able to remain book free though! There's still a few more oldies that I really want to read and haven't been able to find yet and I love book sales so...

I'm going to have to try very hard to abstain or at least never let my books pile up into the hundreds again!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

I admire you tremendously. I honestly don't think I could do what you're doing. I can't even refrain from buying more books. But then, books make me happy and they aren't hurting anyone. I'm paying my bills and I help the environment in other ways (along with buying lots of used books), so I don't think it's bad to have a book collection. But at the same time, I can see your reasons for liquidating yours. We all have different needs in life.

[Bargainbooks]

Thanks!

Definitely going to give it a good try! As they say, the thought is father to the deed...

I'll at least try until I get some pounds off! LOL

OMG, I'm backtracking already!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

You can do it!

[Melanie♥]

They sure are tempting at $34.....I still have about 60 left to read out of the last bundle I bought from you.....

[willaful]

I'm tempted too, but have so many too many books already! Though they *help* keep me active - I go to the gym with a book every day. :-)

[Bargainbooks]

Thanks all for taking a look!

Not resisting temptation is why I had books piled up around my house! It was so funny watching the leaning towers until I figured out a better way to store them all. LOL

I have seriously tried to do the reading while doing cardio but it doesn't work for me at least not for romance books - while at UNI I could defintely study notes for class - but no reading for enjoyment. Got too distracted and forgot why I was on the machine!

[willaful]

Me, I'm amazed by people who can study while they exercise! I don't think I'd ever absorb the material. Also, I'd be insufficiently distracted, i.e. bored. Romances work just right for me, thank goodness.

[Melanie♥]

OK, Bargain, I caved and bought your books! Would love it if you would throw in the DPs =))

[Bargainbooks]

Thanks Mel!

okay, I'm officially on my no romance book diet. I caved yesterday and bought five books and realised that I had a problem (LOL)- could barely stick to my Word on that for one day! My Word is very important to me so...

So now it's imperative - I have to prove something to myself!

I didn't buy any today though! Yay! - Although, I was no where near a book store so maybe that had something to do with it. :)


Here goes!

Bargain, If you get desperate, I will be happy to "lend" you something.....that is NOT buying =)

[Bargainbooks]

Thanks Mel I really appreciate it!

Don't be surprised though if I start quoting stuff from Song of Solomon in desperation!

Pretty romantic book right - and since I already own several copies of The Bible... LOL

Hey it's not fiction, but I think I have a great imagination - just might work!

I used to study on the exercise machine. I like to read on the elliptical trainer. My back was bothering me and I was sick before that, so I haven't been to the gym in a few weeks. I want to get back into going.

Thanks Mel for buying the books, so I can't. I was mighty tempted.

[Melanie♥]

Dr. D, Happy to share some of them with you! I know I have NO room to store them, so maybe I can ship them off to you as I read them LOL!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

LOL. That's why I hesitated to buy them. I am running out of space on my bookshelves, and since I'm on the road and have no life, I tend to hang out at the bookstores way too much.

If there are some good ones in there, I may consider borrowing them. :)

[Bargainbooks]

That's what I'm going to start doing - the next time I buy books, I'm going to read them and pass them on - no more hoarding for me!

So, I baked cookies yesterday - not a complete disaster. LOL

Good taste, but no form.
Going to share them with my animal friends!
Will try exercising today.

[Bargainbooks]

Danielle,

I pray you feel much better very soon.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Oh, thanks Bargainbooks. I'll be alright. The light is at the end of the tunnel. :)

--I am feeling the insane urge to do some baking. I think I will be baking a lot around Christmas time.

[Bargainbooks]
