Book Chat

Welcome to Book Chat!

Instead of being about a particular book, author or genre this group is about books and reading in general. Discussions have covered a wide variety of topics, from bookmarks, to book type preference (paperback, hardcover or trade paperback) to book-to-movie tie-ins, to where and when you read and even what started...more »

    Discussion Book Raffle

    I have more books in my collection than my house can hold and if I want to keep adding new books some of my old friends must go. So, I've decided to hold a book raffle - of sorts - every month and send my book-friends to new homes.

    Once a month I will start a new raffle discussion. I will ask a question and anyone who answers during the month will get their name placed in a jar. At the end of the month I will draw one name out and that person will recieve the book.

    I do take good care of my books so they are in really nice shape and I have a wide variety of genres to choose from.

    Starting January 09 the discussions will run from the first day of the month to the last day of the month when the name will be chosen. Please keep in mind whether you win or not will not depend on your answer and anyone who participates in the discussion will get the same chance to win as everyone else participating.

    To kickstart the raffle discussions I will be running the first one from November 20 through December 15 so watch for that discussion coming up soon!

    You're welcome. I couldn't think of a better thing to do with my books then to share them with those who obviously share my love of reading.

      I mentioned this in another post, but I'll put it here, too!
      (So forgive my duplications!)

      I am from Port Orchard, WA . It is across the water from Seattle- just an hour ferry ride. I absolutely love it here. It is a gorgeous area.
