bouteillebleu: (Reading)
It has come to my attention that being unemployed means I do not have as much money coming in every month as before. It has also come to my attention that I have about three large bookshelves' worth of books and there are some I have bought and never read and will never read, or have read the first fifty pages of and will not finish.

So!

I'm going to be putting the books in this list up on Amazon Marketplace fairly soon (or selling them to the book stall at the market if the Amazon price is appalling), but first, if you want to buy any of these directly, please comment. £1-£3 each is about all I'm hoping for, but every little helps.

I also have a copy of Shade's Children by Garth Nix which is apparently "not for sale or requotation", but available free (well, cost of postage :) to a good home.

EDIT: Shade's Children is now gone, as are a few of the books. Going to list some more by 4pm.
