Forgot to pick. Either one is fine, but if I have to pick: I’ll go for nice.

They haven’t actually been free. But when our library has a book sale, on the last day, it is all you can pack in a paper sack for $2 (it used to be $1–inflation.) I’d stand in line with my sack and once inside, it was like one of the wedding dress basement sales. Anyway, if you shake the bag and pack them just right, I one time got 65 books in one bag.

Oh my gosh…total dork here. Would do almost anything (legal) for books! Dork factor…hmm. Ah, I probably have no shame, lol. Tell me what dorkiness you’d like to see and I’d probably do it for books!

I’m all about the naughty set. Fun contest!

I work at a library. When books are being discarded, the boxes have to go through my department before going to the dumpster. My friends and I are always looking through the discards to see if there is anything we want, or looks too good to be discarded. Neat giveaway, I think I’ll go with the naughty batch, I’ve already read some of the nice ones.

If I worked on the 4th floor and saw the boxes of new books first, I’d probably be like the mouse Gus Gus from Cinderella and have a pile of books up to my forehead. I’d do all kinds of dorky things for free books- just tell me what to do . Thanks for having a great giveaway filled with free books and if I won I would love to have the Feeling Nice batch .

Going back to the 70′s, the dorkiest thing had to be when I was in Jr. High school and my friends all wanted to go to the mall. I fibbed and said that I had to babysit, when in reality, I wanted to stay home to read the Super Romance that I was into. Uh, Naughty! No contest!

Wishing I had a job on the fourth floor!! Sounds like a fun time. I had a job as a librian and loved being surrounded by books. As far as the naughty or nice books…..gotta be naughty sometime!!!

I’m not sure if dorky is the right phrase but this past May I drove 5 hours each way to go to the Bookfair at the RT Convention in Orlando. And actually – that wasn’t for FREE books! So – maybe dorky is going an hour to my favorite Book Exchange store where they always have two tables of free books to look through!
I would like the “feeling nice” set! Thanks!
