I found myself posting on my wall and the village group about my dilemma and lo and behold, there were people who answered and 2 of them even got to pick the books today. Book lovers really will find a way especially when it comes to free books.
YES, FREE BOOKS. It did not cost them anything to get my books. Why am I giving it away? Well, its just a way of paying it forward for me. Someone gave me a massive amount of books before and I am just forwarding the favor now.
The world could use a little bit of kindness and it doesn't have to be anything grandiose you know. A simple act of kindness can be like a butterfly effect that will spread more good.
I love the smile on these women. They seemed really happy with the books.
Awww that is amazing and well done you for paying it forward. The women seem really happy to have received the books
ReplyDeleteMy husband is an avid reader. He reads 5 or 6 books a month :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to share your old books with others! I am a book collector but certainly have some I could pass on. I might just do this come spring. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Now you have room on the shelves for new books.
ReplyDeleteI have a huge collection of books. I find it so hard to pass them on but I really should. I always feel like I am going to want to read them again. I juts have to remember there are so many out there I have not gotten to yet, so i should pass on the ones I have read.
ReplyDeleteThis such a wonderful idea! It's so great that you were able to share the books you were passionate about with them!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! Love that you were able to share those books with them!
ReplyDeleteWe do this at our church. Great way to get new books.
ReplyDeleteI've read some of those books that I see there. I remember that Danielle Steel Malice, that was a good book. I read it from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteawesome idea, sharing is caring, and if there is a book included it is even better!

ReplyDeletethat's a great idea! I might read the list soon!
I wouldn't want to give away something that I treasure to people who wouldn't appreciate it. Good job on looking for people who would love those books just as much as you did. I hope they have fun reading!
ReplyDeleteI just donated a ton of my books to a non profit organization here, and I hope others will treasure them as I did!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea, I love reading books too
ReplyDeleteI love when people pay it forward. I just wish more people did it. My father in law would of loved the books. He probably read one every couple days.
ReplyDeleteI am so embarrassed to admit that I haven't read a BOOK in so long - that being said, I just ordered one from AMAZON so... THIS COULD CHANGE very soon!
ReplyDeleteI regularly give books for free, I think it is nice to reward other people with the books that made you happy!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bookworm before. Now, I'm getting busy because of works. Glad to hear about this!
ReplyDeleteThat's very awesome, you have made the ladies very happy. I know you feel great as well.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of books i need to find new homes for. I usually donate them to the local women's shelter.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I don't really buy many books, and I don't re-read books, so the ones I do buy I just donate to the library.

How lovely that things worked out this way! My local grocery store started a lending library which I think is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThough I am not a voracious reader. But, I admire people, who love reading books.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! We have a huge book sale here that people can donate their used books to and the monies go to keep all the local libraries open. I love picking up a few books every year.
ReplyDeleteI started sorting my books as well and give some to my friends. well, to give way to the new ones also :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very nice and seeing their smile is priceless. Keep it up! God is watching.
