Try to offer up something you're almost certain will be snatched up. (Don't feel bad if it's not....just refresh with something new!) :drool:

I'm gonna try with:

"The Rice Mother" - Rani Manicka

U.S. preferred (it's hardcover)

Don't you hate it when you have to refresh your own relay....?! :doh: LOL!

Okay....second try....

"The Forest Lover" - Susan Vreeland

This one's hardcover, w/ some mild book damage, but perfectly readable. U.S. preferred.

Pming you now for "The Rice Mother". I don't know how I missed this relay! The book sounds like something I'd really enjoy!!

Here's my offer: "Possession" by A.S. Byatt

I accept posessions and am offering

Stiff ,the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.It is next on my tbr list.

U.S. shipping only

Omigod, you don't know how long I've been trying to snag "Stiff," oldreader. I keep seeing it pop up on BookMooch but someone always manages to grab it before I can.

May I please have it? I'll PM you with my address.

Now, to put something up in its place....how about:

"Blue Dahlia" by Nora Roberts (I haven't listed it on BC yet but I will).

Is this okay? I'm kind of out-of-the-loop as far as popular books go, so please - someone tell me if this is a has-been book. You won't hurt my feelings as I'd like to know. It's dated 2004 - not too outdated, but I'll gladly replace it if it's deemed undesirable.

Also: how long before you should replace a book on these new relays? Could someone please tell me? Thanks.

Okay, if the last book is not really desirable, I'll replace it with:

Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs (this is TBR, but it shouldn't take me too long)
