Okay... I posted in the main meet-up thread about how I'm weeding out Mt. TBR (some are dups and some I'll just never get around to reading) and I'm going to be offering up a TON of books to those going and those that also go to the Canada meet-ups since Morsie/Chronic have offered to pass those on. So, this thread is for everyone going to post what they are bringing and offer up books to others. I'll be adding to my list of offers very regularly over the next several weeks so please check my post regularly and claim as many as you want (I'm serious as I'm probably going to wild release the leftovers). I am checking wishlists first before posting here so I have several already set aside for various people coming and will add those to this post later as well.

hi Cindi :waves:

:lmao: But... we should have a lighter load coming back and so far no one is claiming any others. :shrug:

Here are the books that I could bring if anyone wants to claim them. If you'd like to claim one, let me know and I'll put a post-it with your name on the book. If a book isn't claimed, I don't plan to bring it. (I'll add to the list as I go through my TBR pile - I hope to get many more read between now and the meetup; I'll indicate which ones have been added when I do)

Ooh if I come could you put me down for the Diary of V books? I read the first one a couple years ago not knowing it was a trilogy, and I've wanted to finish the series ever since. The first one leaves you hanging!

Im not that organized yet :angry: :blush:

Hi Laura :waves:
I don't think she'll have room for anything but books. :giggle:

oh, i have a box that I'm putting in stuff to bring with me to see if you guys want once I'm there, but that's all, I'm not gonna list 'em, you'll just have to fight over 'em when I get there (if they're anything anyone wants!)

Ap... there is at least one I know of in my list above that is on your w/l... possibly more so be sure to grab 'em. You can always try to talk Cherie into meeting up with you later for a hand-off if you can't come. ;)

that'll probably be my plan too!

Everyone can feel free to browse my AVLs and TBRs. If you see something you'd like I'll put your name on it and bring it with. Otherwise, I'll just bring everything I have AVL at the time.

no one is taking any of the books I'm posting! :cry: :whine: I know they don't all suck... I'm just trying to thin down what I have here. I thought some would be wanted at least. :(

I'll be adding to the list though so keep checking back.

Hey chickie. If you keep adding to the list, can you tick the box to add the modified date to your post when you edit it? That way I know if anything new's been added since I was last here without having to look thru the entire list each time looking for new stuff.

Thankies!! :D

If you don't mind I'd really like Booked to Die. I'm SUPPOSED to be clearing out my shelves, but people keep giving away great books!

Sand :whip:

only 1? :whistle:

k... will try to remember

I haven't looked through any of the book lists yet (and I am jut not organized enough at the moment to make a list of my own)... BUT...

if you want anything from my AVL or TBR, let me know and I'll see what I can do ;)


I'll be adding to this as I start getting myself organized for the trip
Books definitely coming to Columbus:
(Cherie) Stargirl - for Amberkatz's m-bag
(Pepper) The Boggart
(Pepper) The Catsworld Portal
(Pepper) Hatching Magic
(Ri) The Last Summer (of you and me)
(shaunie) Thieves til we die

I'm not going to have the time to go through my books, but if anyone wants anything off my AVL or TBR lists, just let me know and I'll bring it. :D

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I just wish I was coming!

we do too... why aren't you? :whip:

Had already commited to going camping in MI long before this was planned! :cry:

that'll teach you for not checking with us first. :bash:

:j/k:

Seriously though... I hate that you can't make it. Guess it just means we'll have to do it again in the semi-near future. :wink:

I'm not coming - no money and no vacation time. :sigh: :shrug:

But, but... Karen, I've been eyeing "Darkest Desire" for almost a year. Could I pay postage for it or something?

Eek! Very sorry. I have a couple of these still posted on PBS and wouldn't you know it, someone requested the book yesterday. :(

I'm not really going to have time to go through all my books, so please fill free to take a look at my AVL and TBR shelves and I will bring you whatever you want. So far here are the books I will be bringing.

Pepper: Perdido Street Station

Noemena: Forbidden Fruit

Cherie: Sizzling Summer Sweeps Weiner book

I updated my list above to add a few more books in case anyone is interested. :)

Karen, if it's possible, I'd love The Catsworld Portal by Shirley Rousseau Murphy and The Boggart by Susan Cooper.

They're both TBR, I know, so if you can't get to them, I completely understand. :D

And Hatching Magic which I took out of the Teen VBB, just as a reminder. :)





Now people need to go through my AVLs and TBRs and tell me what you want! TBRs particularly... I'm having trouble deciding what to read next! :lol:

Hey Rhonda any chance of getting the two Gemma O'Connor books from an ALS in January?? :hug:

This is just a reminder that people are free to browse my AVL and TBR shelves and message me if anything catches their eye (I'll try my best to bring whatever is asked for to the meetup)

I have a bunch of books that I just got back from my mom too and I'll make sure to journal them tonight so they are back on my shelf

Ya know, for some reason in my head I've been calling your Columbus event the OhBO.

:rofl:

If you see anything with a tbr or available set by me, and you're coming on Sunday, let me know!!! Look forward to seeing people and trading books...


And reading Harry Potter... LOL. :shedevil:

I don't have too many for other people so far, but I'm still extending the offer that any AVLs are up for grabs. TBRs might be hard to get to by then. If I owe you a book that's not on the list, please let me know. Here's my list and I'll update if needed.
