Pimp your Inventory - November 2009

I have a copy of a highly-wishlisted book by Kim Harrison: Where Demons Dare: http://www.librarything.com/work/3271666/43348660 which I haven't posted as yet so members here could ask first. I am willing to post overseas and it is in quite good condition with a very small used-book store stamp on the first page.

I also have a hardback copy of Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens - Oxford University Press edition. It is so old it doesn't have an ISBN and it is in good condition except for slight tear on first page and is coming away from the spine on the first part only.

As well I have a copy of Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner ISBN: 0140147470, in very good condition.

edit Nov 7: all mooched

Leave a message on my profile if you are interested in mooching any of these - I am willing to send all of them overseas.
add: it is very late here (Australia) and I am going to bed now, so don't worry if it is a few hours before I answer. :)

I just added What I Meant by Marie Lamba over the weekend. It is a nice, hardcover, young adult, contemporary story if anyone is interested. The rest of my inventory is here:

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/jenine

There are two books that in my inventory that I'm just waiting on pay day to send out and are unmoochable.

Re-post from October:

I've just posted 7 magazine bundles, each one contains more than one new and unread magazine (I can't keep up with my subscriptions). The bundles include Glow, Family Circle, Parents, Disney Family Fun, Chatelaine and Chickadee magazines.

I was planning to put up this edition of Golden Fool later: http://bookmooch.com/detail/0553582453, but it's on a handful of wishlists and I wanted to give LTers first chance. It's in good condition with some shelfwear and one major crease in the spine. There aren't any creases otherwise, which I find perplexing. The book doesn't fall open at the crease.

I'm also planning to put up some random issues of School Psychology Review, once I figure out how I'm going to hand-enter them. In the meantime, the rest of my inventory is too tiny and boring to pimp. :)

edit: Er. Hand-entered books aren't deletable once they're in the system, are they? I maybe a little bit wrote the wrong volume number for one thing and didn't catch it before I submitted the entry. Fail, self.

I have several Morland Dynasty novels to offer.

This month I'll be putting up:

Her Royal Spyness, by Rhys Bowen.

Becoming Queen by Kate Williams.
The story of how young Victoria ascended her throne. A good read, imho.

Mary Tudor: The First Queen, by Linda Porter.
A very enjoyable biography of England's first, and most misunderstood, queen.

Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley (Pride & Prejudice Continues), by Linda Berdoll.
An imagined sequence to Pride and Prejudice.

Lyonesse: Suldrun's Garden, by Jack Vance
Historical fantasy, well written - which is pretty rare in books like that when you think about it. Inventive and beautiful.

I ship worldwide, let me know if you're interested.

hi - I'd like to mooch mary tudor if you don't mind shipping it to japan? if it's helpful for you I can mooch another one too. thank you very much (lunar on bm)

I'm trying to clear out my inventory so everything is 2 for 1 through November. Come by and see if there is anything you'd like :)

http://bookmooch.com/inventory/kittybee

I'd like to mooch Her Royal Spyness if you still have it.

Thank you!

I'll be overseas from early December for two months so I'll be putting my account on vacation around the 27th of November, so mooch now! :D

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/moniica

I listed a copy of The Naked Civil Servant last night that I'm hoping someone in the US or Canada will mooch. Last week I had an expensive bunch of international mooches to send out, so I'm (sadly) having to turn down a lot of requests.
http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/litclique

I'm about to list a few books on BM, I was going to list them last month but money got tight, so now I offer them to my fellow LTers first:

1) Fear and Trembling by Robert Blotch (the touchstone doesn't work for the book title.)
ISBN#0812515854
2) The Science of Discworld by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen
(The touchstone for this one leads to the last book and this is the first.)
ISBN#0091886570
3) Blossom by Andrew Vachss ISBN#0804107513
4) Past Pretense by Sharon Gwyn Short ISBN#0449149153
5) Bridge to Terabithis by Katherine Paterson ISBN#9780545003350 (movie-tie-in
version)

If you're intrested drop a line on my page and I'll reserve before listing they'll all go up regardless by Sunday evening.

If anyone is looking to complete the Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman, I just added to my inventory:

The Subtle Knife(His Dark Materials ; 2) Philip Pullman

Just added half a dozen Shakespeare plays:

Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet - all Penguin Popular Classics 1994 editions, good condition, occasional creases/fading and some have names on the flyleaf.

Julius Caesar - Wordsworth edition, an old second-hand copy, condition not as good as the others but perfectly readable.

I'm about to add the following books to my inventory if anyone is interested:

Let Sleeping Rogues Lie by Sabrina Jeffries
This one was bought new & read once. (Doesn't look read).

Wait Until Midnight by Amanda Quick
This one has some spine creases, a slight bit of spine curvature, and is starting to yellow slightly at the page edges, but is still in decent, readable condition.

Before Sunrise by Diana Palmer
One faint spine crease, otherwise in good condition.

If anyone is interested, my inventory is here:
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0515138622

Edited to add another book

Oh dear, in case anyone hasn't guessed yet, I'm new to this. Have already posted similar things on 2 other threads, will delete them off later.

My bookmooch nickname is Clueless (yes, I'm aware of the irony) and I'll be going to the Post Office on Saturday, so I'd like to take as much as I can with me!

Everything listed is 3 for 2, providing I can fit all 3 books into the one package. Any books after 3 that miraculously fit in the package too will be smooched back.

I've never sent anything abroad, but I will consider it if someone requests something, please just be aware that I'm unsure of the system.

It's mostly YA, childrens and magazines, but there might be other things too.

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/clueless

Hi Clueless! (heh, heh).

And welcome! No need to delete posts, no harm no foul. In fact it's probably better if you don't delete them because the thread stays there forever, but without the post it's confusing for people who see it after the deletion.

You know you can put your Bookmooch link in your LT profile? Under "Also On" connections. That way people can go straight to your BM inventory from your profile.

I'll post it here for good measure!
http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/clueless

(UK)

Good luck!

@19 Thank you, I must look like such a strange person! I thought I'd be able to delete the post then change it, but it doesn't seem to work like that so there's now a weird thread where I have started a topic and said nothing!

I'll add that link into my post too (and try and pick up some common sense on the way!)

It just gets us all intrigued by what controversial thing you must have said and then thought better of :)

@21 Haha, I wish. It's just been the above message slightly reworded differently - originally in a completely seperate topic (because I thought "Pimp My Profile" was like decorating it or something, like "Pimp My Car") then moved to October's PMP (because I forgot which month it was!) I guess the username suits me well.

@ svh_mad Gosh you're fun to have on the forums! LOL

I had noticed that I kept reading the same post in different threads...you will get the hang of it,honest! ;)

I agree with Ally, welcome, and you're fun :)

M.

@23 & 24 Thank you, that's made me feel so welcome! You must be starting to feel a sense of deja vu by now!! Glad though that I'm getting to be known as "fun" and not a complete nutcase!!

Thanks everyone for making me feel so accepted (despite lunatic comments!)

yes, it's right to be concerned about lunatic comments. I'm very careful with my posts, i'd hate to be accused of that.

I just posted all 6 books of Armisted Maupin's Tales of the City series. They're all in good shape, and they all have matching covers.

#26 - yeah, newbies, follow MrAndrew's lead and you can't go wrong :)

No, but they might get lost!! :P

I just added Diana Wynne Jones "Witch Week". http://bookmooch.com/detail/0688155456

Also, in case you missed my copy, there another copy available in the UK - http://bookmooch.com/detail/0007117736

and both copies are gone!

Just in case: I thought I would offer here first, I need to clear some inventory before I injure something.

I am offering a two for one until Friday, then I will probably take them to the Friends of the Free Library over the weekend.

UK based, set to 'ask first'. If you're mooching from another country, please mooch more than one book to make postage cheaper for me.

I'm moving so I'd like to get rid of my inventory before I pack everything up. I only have 18 books, but if anyone wants any, I'm offering them 2 for 1 for all my LT friends. :)

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/sylviao

Ooooh, I've sent you a message about the Anita Blake books!

I have copies of Death with Interruptions by Jose Saramago and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron. I'm going to offer these here first as they are both highly wishlisted.

edit:touchstones don't like me

I'd love Death with Interruptions!

I've reserved it for you, 40

Thank you!

Mare - is Shadow of the Wind still available? I need it for bookclub in the spring!

Michelle, yup its still free. I'll reserve it for you today.

Thanks so much, Mare. That is just wonderful. Won't have to buy it from amazon now :)

I've posted several books this afternoon, mostly science fiction. However, I found a nice (gift quality) boxed set of four Ruth Rendall mass-market paperback mysteries. Contact me through BookMooch email if interested. I'll be listing them there as four separate books.

***Outside North America***
will send to any country but must ask for all four mooches

***Canada/Mexico***

***USA***
will refund 1 point

First come, first served.

Sins of the Fathers
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0345342534
Wolf to the Slaughter
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0345345207
Death Notes

Speaker of Mandarin
http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0345302745
(edited to include links to books and to revise that the books have been added to my inventory)

I just listed an interesting book that I thought would appeal to lovers of political and historical fiction. White Ghost Girls takes place in Hong Kong during the Vietnam War. It's a short read (under 200 pages) and IMHO, I thought it was quite good. My copy is an ARC in good condition.

http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/0802170188

edited for punctuation

I added several Isaac Asimov Foundation books:
Second Foundation
Foundation's Edge
Foundation and Earth
Forward the Foundation

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/sauscony

Due to a huge mooching spree, I'm a bit lower on points than I like to be, so I thought I would "pimp my inventory" again. I have a bit of everything, and some specials. I also have three Diane Duane books that are in great condition that I never thought would sit in my inventory for long. She's a great fantasy/sci-fi author. I've also finished my classes for the fall semester, so I have posted a few books from my classes, mainly surrounding Canadian labour and Unions.

My inventory can be found at http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/mareofthesea

I added some previously mooched books to my inventory, plus I will be adding more this weekend http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/averitasm

happy turkey day everyone

Currently, all I have is America We Deserve by Donald Trump

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/drizzlegirl

Happy Thanksgiving, to all US LT'ers. Happy Thursday to everyone else. :-D

Just posted Deadline by John Dunning. (of the Bookman series fame) A good, quick read.

http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/iwillrejoice

~~~

Mooched!

>52 iwillrejoice:

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
I just mooched the Dunning - hope it is OK to send to me. :)

#53 - Lman,

It sure is. Thanks for the mooch! =D

*ahem* I've just re-posted a BookMooch Journal, Gay Pride. Thought I'd give you all a heads-up, since it doesn't currently seem to be on any wishlists (that makes me sad).

I had waaaay too much fun doing my entry. lol

http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/BM123242278242333546

Just added a handful of romances, mostly Harlequin Blaze.

(This might post twice, it looks like the first one didn't go through.....)

I just added The Country Girls trilogy by Edna O Brien (The country Girls, girl with green eyes, girls in their married bliss).
Also a book of scripts from the BBC series Absolutely Fabulous
And a book about The Amazons (the female warriors rather than the river or the website I am horribly addicted to) MOOOCHED! That was quick
Finally I have a book about the Neo-Nazi movement in germany by Michael Schmidt. Slighted dated but I enjoyed it-it has been on my inventory for a year which is a bit sad.

I am hoping to move house soon and we wont have space for all my books AND both children so I will be listing on bookmooch everything that doesnt sell on Amazon (I am not yet ready to list the children, the oldest starts school in January and the youngest is a chubby baby who has just learnt to smile so I'm keeping them for the moment). I need to get rid of at least one of my eight bookcases otherwise child number 2 wont be able to have a cot-sadly he is just too big for a drawer now (joke!)

I have a copy in very good condition of "The Sudbury School Murders" by Ashley Gardner, a mystery that takes place in Regency England.
http://www.amazon.com/Sudbury-Murders-Mystery-Regency-England/dp/0425203611/ref=...

Let me know if you're interested, I ship worldwide.

60> Me! Me! Please, please, pleeeaase! I receive worldwide. :)

lol!

I love it! :)

@: lol, ok, it's yours. I've reserved it for you.

It's time to start the December thread but I don't know how to do it proper. Anyway, I've just added a dozen mystery books by Ruth Rendell. I will send worldwide for these. Please take a look at:
