Like many agents and editors, I donated an auction item. I promised to be a "personal shopper" and pick out a basket of agency-repped books for the winner. But I sort of couldn't stop myself and basket turned into a huge box, filled with a baker's dozen agency books & arcs (plus a handful of others I couldn't resist throwing in, but didn't make it in this shot.)
I checked with the winner to be sure that I wasn't giving her things she'd already read, so several of my original choices have been switched out and new items added. Finally today I am MAKING myself put this in the mail before I choose yet more books to put in.I sort of wish I could have won it! ;-)

I can't believe how much money was raised.
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive pile. Lucky auction winner.
There is already an arc of Mermaid's Mirror why I no have *cries*
ReplyDeleteBecause, MARTHA, I only had one and I gave it to THE AUCTION WINNER.
ReplyDeleteIt's called A GOOD CAUSE and CHARITY, etc.
I'll try and find you another. ;)
That is fantastic that so much money was raised. What a wonderful box of books for the winner as well! My book club is reading Harmonic Feedback in July :)
