Friday the 13th

In spirit of the marked day I thought I would search for a suggested reading list.  Spooky and superstition themed these classics would also work well with Halloween evenings in.

Good Reads Friday the 13th suggested read list.

The Giving Spot

Matadors Pizza was slow moving at first but has picked up and in the best way.  When I first glanced I thought nothing had moved and I was preparing to pick up the books and take them to my car when a book caught my eye.  Go ask Alice by Anonymous.  One of my favorite books and a great song (white rabbit).  

My copy was passed on to a cousin and then victim to a house fire.  Eager to review its pages again I snatched it up with a smile that not only were people donating, they were donating quality items.  I scanned the shelf more closely and found more additions and noticed a few missing.  Some even looked like they had additional wear - as if already taken and returned which is wonderful.  I plan to return Go ask Alice when I'm finished with it, which is a pristine copy.

Looking Slow

Medical reasons have kept me inside for some time now but I am hoping to leave today if all goes well.  However my errands won't take me by any of our drop points so I won't be able to look in on them and update the community on what is available there.  I would like to start a new drop point today but I don't have enough books for donation right now.  Only one waits to be donated (see image on right).  It looks like November may be a slow month but I had expected a lull in my participation come winter months.  

There is a box of paperbacks waiting to be read that my mother has started on so I expect more books soon and will deliver them as soon as possible.  Hopefully I will soon have enough books to replenish drop points as well as create a new one.  

I am going to visit a friend on my errands and will ask her if she has any books laying around she would like to donate.
