As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I will be hosting a Used Book Sale Link-up here at Shower of Roses today!! The last Used Book Sale I had really motivated me to continue sorting though our books and I have come up with the items pictured below, to pass on to other homes where they might be used a little more. The embarrassing thing is, even with all the books I’ve boxed to sell, I still have quite a few baskets of books that do not have a home, in addition to all the books that are stored in my closet! (I’m starting to think that the solution, at this point, might just be a couple new bookshelves, since we really don’t have all that many!)

If you are interested in purchasing any of the books listed, please leave a comment with your email address and I will send you your total, with shipping, along with my PayPal info. (If you’d rather not leave your email address, you can email me directly at jessica(dot)showerofroses(at)gmail(dot)com.

Shipping will be $3.50 for 1-2 items and $5.00 for 3 or more, to cover the cost of packaging and media rate in the continental U.S. If you end up ordering a lot of books, or you would like the books mailed elsewhere, I will get back to you with the actual shipping costs.

Thank you for taking a look, and be sure to check the link-up for even more online used book sales!

UPDATE 8/2:  Thank you all for your purchases!  Everything that has been purchased so far has been marked sold and packaged for shipment.   I also just went through and reduced the prices on some of the remaining items.
