Your giveaway post was so funny that I've been a follower ever since.<br /><br />Now I'm in your debt. I'll be culling some books before I make the move back across the ocean next year so I'll have to see if there are any you would like.<br /><br />Thanks!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-35311343319741030292012-10-18T10:48:29.489+01:002012-10-18T10:48:29.489+01:00I'm so late to this but YAY AND CONGRATS!:-) I...I'm so late to this but YAY AND CONGRATS!:-) I wont even with the books cos i've barely read a page since little one arrived,but 500 posts is awesome!

Good week for you.<br /><br />I would love your copy of The Mill On The Floss by George Eliot. I hope you find a new lovely cover of all of these books!<br /><br />klmickelsen at gmail dot comKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-41606676794890911512012-10-17T07:09:36.977+01:002012-10-17T07:09:36.977+01:00Yes please! :) brieanafraser at gmail dot com.

Upgrading books is very important, and it's waaaay cheaper than doing it with, say, a phone or a computer. You knows its true!<br /><br />Don't feel crap since I'm offering them and all! I was finding them last night and I felt bad just giving them to people I didn't know (ie a charity shop) so I thought I'd offer them here first and send some of them to good homes! SO you can totally have The Scarlet Letter. The book, not the actual letter. You don't want that.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-2402281867346713052012-10-16T16:00:20.161+01:002012-10-16T16:00:20.161+01:00Thank youuuu!

I realised I'd ALMOST squeaked up to 400 followers, and I'm about to hit 500 posts, so there shall be giveaway-age when the time comes. Maybe my 500th post should be a sappy ramble about the wonder of blogging *hic* and all the awesome books *hic hic* and all the lovely peoples *sobs*... Also, I TOTALLY UPGRADE STUFF TOO. Even if it's just a nice shiny copy of THE SAME EDITION but mine's gone a bit dead. I'm trying to stop doing it but I can't help myself! <br /><br />I feel a bit crap saying I WANT ONE OF YOUR BOOKS SO SEND IT TO ME PLEASE, like I'm making an imperious gesture and maybe clicking my fingers like a dickhead in a restaurant... but I WOULD kinda like to try The Scarlet Letter... Do you have my email? You must have my email!
