Another story from my family
Not about books.
My son went to Russia and then on to China..using Trans Sibarian rail.He got to China an it as was warmer he no longer needed to use his heavy parka(The one I sewed all the zips and velcro on)He put it on a bench on the underground. My son is 6fy 3ins..An hour later he saw a small man wearing this coat...not even near where he left it..Make a good scene in a film .
Back to books.

MA, there is an international club for leaving books in public places for others to find. I'm a member, but have only released one book. I've received only one book, also...
CHECK IT OUT - Here's a link: http://www.bookcrossing.com/ ... I'm still a member: reeder/TX.

gmis, I love that concept. I joined, but never did it. One of these days... I have so many books. I think I'd get a kick out of it.

How come you've only done it once? Just wondering... Did you like it.

Yes this is what my daughter read about then left them while on holiday
MA

dotsie, I just have the hardest time giving up my books!
It'd be easier for me to leave my kitchen ware... anyone need a spatula?

goms, I hoard books too.

My computer guy was here one day and I was feeling so stupid because he kept talking to me about what he was doing and I was clueless. I said, "I'm sorry, I feel so stupid, but I can't follow you."

He replied, "Have you read all those books there (pointing to the shelves in my office)?

"Yup, most of 'em."

"Then you can't be stupid. I probably don't know much about what's in them if they have to do with women. HOw are you suppose to know all about computers if you don't read about them."

Point well taken.

I have too mnay books about, for and by women! But I can't part with them.

Wow I've not checked in here in a week! You guys are the best and no worries about sending things to the UK or Europe, you just get a lot more time to look forward to the books arrival.
Ok, so hopefully the PM thing is straightened out, you do it each time something is offered.
There will be other offerings besides books so keep checking.
I love the leaving a book in the hotel idea.
This week's winner is--------Ladyjane!!!!!
Steve the cat is sleeping but he picked her name right around 6pm but I"ve been busy and he didn't want to hang around waiting on me.
So ladyjane, PM me with your snail mail address and off it will go on Tuesday. Congratulations!!! Hope you enjoy the book and I suspect you'll pass it on.
I'm going to post the new offering in a separate post.

Way to go LJ....I want some of your mojo girl...you've been realllll lucky here lately. You going to Vegas?

Well, I'll be!!!! Just checked this and I'm feeling a lot lucky to say the least.....for a woman who's won very, very little until now. Awesome! Okay, JJ, I'll start a contest to send some mojo weekly! And by the way, I'll pass this on when I'm done...no more hoarding books!

Ok wimmens, it's a new week and a new give away.
This week I've got a brandy new, never used, Hypnotherapy CD from Peak Potentials titled, Hypnotherapy for Inner Power & Self Confidence. It's never been used because someone gave me a set I already owned.
It's not a subliminal so you'll hear every message. There is a short intro to Hypnotherapy, the message or meditation, a short intro to affirmations and then about 10 minutes worth of affirmations.
Peaks does a good job and at the very least it is a relaxing way to spend a half hour. I believe there is great benefit from meditation CDs, especially for those of us who have a hard time quieting the mind alone.
So bring on the PMs, Steve the cat is looking forward once again to playing his part and impartially picking a winner.
Best
