Martha's Bookshelf***Friday Pick Giveaway April 7, 2017

Happy Friday!
This week progressed fairly well. Hubby and I had a one night out Wednesday. He decided to take the motorcoach out to get washed by rain and then called me to meet him at a local campground. I picked him up to zip down the road for take out dinner and stop by the house to pick up basics like towels, glasses, dog food and a change of clothes. It was fun until I suffered a terrible allergic reaction, sneezing and itchy eyes, when I tried to go to sleep. Instead of getting extra sleep, since we didn't have the computers, I was up sneezing for three hours.

I did get the books out this week but not the Gift Card wins as I forgot to bring the papers home last weekend. I plan to do those this weekend now. Thanks again for being patient!

Our weather has been warm with some rain and wind. Tonight it dipped to the 50s.

TO ENTER FRIDAY PICK

US Entrants: Leave a comment and tell me WHICH BOOK you would like to get from the Friday Pick lists.

If you saw the pictures posted of my bookshelves and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by these Friday Pick Giveaways.

I started Friday Pick on November 27, 2009 and in almost seven years I have posted 68 groups of 16 (1,088) books to find new homes! (as of November 4, 2016).

I am happy to say that so far about 1,049+ books have found new homes! YAY. I have to update my print out to check the exact number sent out - a few were never claimed. I periodically update the lists - deleting those won. You can still go to the Friday Pick list link to see older posts and the older lists book pictures if you want!

Note rules here regarding international entries.
Because postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00 book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, ARe, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze, etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or note your choice of gift card.

I learned that The Book Depository does not ship to everywhere. The postage for some of the books to far away places runs between $7.00 and $10.00 and up. Since I would award $5.00 for The Book Depository to an international winner, as an alternative you may choose a smaller book and we will hope the postage will not exceed $6.00. If the postage is more, or if you want to pick a larger book and you are willing to pay any extra postage beyond the $6.00 I will work with you on that. This may not make a difference to many but if it helps one or two of you to give one of my books a home that will make me happy too. :o)

Repeating this helpful blog tip: You can right click on a link and you will be given the choice to open the link in a new window or tab so you do not navigate away from the screen you are on!! I use this all the time!
