Special edition riddances: making others happy!

As you can see, I'm participating in the Holiday Wishlist meme, but I come off as too greedy and picky, so I'm not going to get anything off my list. That said, I can make others happy by scanning the lists in the Holiday Wishlist community and sending items to those who desire them. The following riddances have been sent off to a far better life with people who requested them on their wishlists:

1 copy of The Phantom Tollbooth
1 copy of Red As Blood: Tales from the Sisters Grimmer
1 package of origami paper


1 riddance was donated:
1 comforter
Total 4 riddances

Not A Cough In A Carload: Images from the Tobacco Industry's Campaign to Hide the Hazards of Smoking

This beautiful collection of ads, centering on U.S. ads from the 1930s through the 1950s, portrays the tobacco industry's cover-up of their drug's deadly effects on users. Note how the manufacturers target especially vulnerable populations such as teenagers, college students, women and people of color. Bastards.

Reprints of old Romantic and Gothic novels and short stories

Available from Zittaw Press. I'm very keen on their scholarly edition of Varney the Vampire, or The Beast of Blood.

Riddances special edition: trading books

I discovered Paperback Swap, and it is the BESTEST site ever!! You can post books you don't want, which other users can then request of you. You send these books for the price of postage, in turn receiving credits that you can redeem for books posted by other users. I'm very excited because I posted the requisite 10 initial books that I wanted to get rid of, and, already, within hours, 5 of them have been claimed. Good riddance!!!

1 copy of Breaking Dawn
1 copy of The Spanish Pearl
1 copy of The Dictionary of Imaginary Places
1 copy of Between Women: Friendship, Desire, and Marriage in Victorian England
1 copy of Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess Worshippers and Other Pagans in America Today

Total 5 riddances
Grand total 126 riddances
