Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Dee, put me down for Some Girls Bite and I'll even send it back to you when I'm done (and as a bonus I'll throw in the Lori Foster When You Dare as a bonus. As for the actual drawing, I'll take whichever is not a historical, is the best book, and is not Twilight.

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments lol at Jim...4 of the 7 are non-historical/non-twilight...fantasy/urban fantasy or HTTB (hoity toighty thinkin books ;) )


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Well Dee, what would you suggest? but I'm also serious about borrowing your Some Girls Bite. (I'm off most of next week and can probably get it read in a day or two if you send it to me then.)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments i'll try to get some girls bite out this pm if you want - send me your address ;)

I liked the Nora ones but they are a bit dated now; if you go for the Kitty one, it is the second in a series, so you'd need to find/get the first..

How sweet:-) I'm moving to NYC in two weeks, unless I get eaten by a lion first, which almost happened this morning: imagine me face to face with a lion eating a carcass 20 feet away and you'll get the idea, lol.. Then my brother was like "so, did you take a picture?" - oh, yeah, because that was the first thing that came to my head, lol! (still in shock, sorry.. I'm over-sharing a little, lol)

Anyhow, CONGRATS DAFFODIL!!!


message 615: by Debbie (new)

Debbie  (db_debber) | 2757 comments wow, what a story - no such thing as over sharing when it comes to something like that. Just glad you are ok.


message 616: by Penney (new)

Penney (pschoener) | 3553 comments Soooo..... Did you get a picture???
Just kidding Melanie ;-)

Were you in a vehicle or on foot, cuz the 'on foot' thing would be really, really bad.

Thx, me too:-)
Lions just love me, I'm telling you!! I was stalked on horseback as well today, but that was slightly less freaky.. I did however discover a talent as a sprinter this morning (which, fyi, is the worse thing to do if this happens to you!)


message 618: by Penney (new)

Penney (pschoener) | 3553 comments Holy crap Melanie! At least you'll be ready for NYC :)

On foot... Vehicles I'm used to because of the safaris, horses I can deal with, but on foot, I was almost peeing my pants: this is when you realize how ingrained your survival instinct is, lol.. I was running back to our cottage, all while thinking I should not be running, why am I running... lol.. But all's well that ends well.. Except for the part that the whole freakin' pride (of 19 lions) is now 100 yards from the footpath:-) (thank goodness for golf carts which miraculously appeared this afternoon, lol)

And NYC will be a cakewalk after this, lol

Daffodil (daffodil--ripcranberry) | 1058 comments Well, it's not quite morning, but I do have a book list. I ended up working across the street in the warehouse today, in the hot warehouse I might add, instead of at my desk in the air conditioned office. Busy time at work, though and everyone kind of pitches in elsewhere if needed. Didn't even get on the computer 'til I got to the library this evening. 8}

I was wanting to draw on Friday, but this is a little later than I planned to list. So, I will draw a name at 12 Noon, Central, U.S. on Monday, August 15. I will ship anywhere.

message 634: by Tuğçe (new)

Tuğçe Gökırmak (tugcenidasevin) I have read the rules and trying to understand by reading some of the messages but too long to read all, can you please shortly explain this to me? I want to be in but actually I am not sure if anyone will be willing to send anything to Istanbul/Turkey. And are e-books also included I have quite hundreds of ebooks in pdf files I can send.


message 635: by Tuğçe (new)

Tuğçe Gökırmak (tugcenidasevin) And Wow! What an experience Melanie... Glad you are ok.


message 636: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments Tugce Nida - basically, someone posts a list of books that they are willing to get rid of - they will choose if they want to limit sending to the US or international.

they set a time period, and at the end of that, they draw a random name out of a hat (or something like that) and post the winner...the winner then lists the next set of books

they need to be print - you technically can't share ebooks

The basic idea is a free raffle for a book (paper, not ebook. Too many different ereaders to make that an option). The person who posts the books says where they will ship to, usually international (Turkey would be included), or just the USA. A winner is chosen, and that person PMs the poster their address so the book can be sent (some do bundles of books , but you do not have to).

Then, the person who won now holds the raffle, deciding how long to hold it, what books they are offering, and where they can send them. So the process continues.

The shipper pays the postage.
