Hello! I’m donating all these books to the library, but thought I’d offer them to friends and friends of friends first. Just send me a note telling me which one(s) you want and we can coordinate a meet-up/drop-off.

I’ll be donating whatever is left by April 14 so I have room to stock up at the Spring 2024 Book Sale at George Mason Regional Library Apr 18-21!
