Thanks for BD wishes for our son and for prayers and caring form my Dad. Dad has been in ICU since Saturday night. Some visits he is alert but others he is disoriented. He is not happy about being in the hospital and stuck in the bed. All we can do is encourage him to get rest and get stronger. I extended my stay in South Florida through this weekend then I will return home. Continued prayers are
appreciated.
I think I'll be adding a new group of books in the next week or two.
Thank you to all who entered June 15 Pick.

I have finally updated the intro and Entry paragraphs here:
If you saw the pictures posted of
my bookshelves
and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include
the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find
deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by these Friday
Pick Giveaways.
I started Friday Pick in November 27, 2009 and in two years I posted 26 groups of 16 books to find new homes! (March 2012)
I have periodically update the lists - deleting those won. You can still go to the
Friday Pick list link to see older posts and the older lists book pictures if you want!
I am happy to say that so far about 373 books have found new homes! YAY. I have to update my print out to check the exact number sent out - a few were never claimed.
Note rules here regarding international entries.
Because
postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00
book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes &
Noble, Borders, ARe, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze,
etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors
your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or
note your choice of gift card.
I learned that The Book Depository does not ship to everywhere. The
postage for some of the books to far away places runs between $5.00 and
$6.00 and up. Since I would award $5.00 for The Book Depository to an
international winner, as an alternative you may choose a smaller book
and we will hope the postage will not exceed $6.00. If the postage is
more, or if you want to pick a larger book and you are willing to pay
any extra postage beyond the $6.00 I will work with you on that. This
may not make a difference to many but if it helps one or two of you
to give one of my books a home that will make me happy too. :o)
TO ENTER:
Leave a comment and tell me WHICH BOOK you would like to get from the Friday Pick lists.
CUT OFF TIME IS THURSDAY NIGHTS AT 10:00 PM CENTRAL so I do not have to stay up past midnight to do the winner post!
I will randomly pick two winners to announce Friday mornings with the next Pick post.
Automatic
wins are those who requested the book four times and I did not note
other people asking for that book during those weeks.
WINNERS PLEASE CHECK THE WIN POST ON FRIDAYS AND fill in the
Winner's Acceptance Form or email me
at
mesreads@gmail.com. [I will confirm receipt of the addresses- well I
realize I haven't always done this. But if you filled out the form and
don't get the book within two weeks nudge me with an email please!] If I
have the winners e-mail I will send a reminder in a week or so....
Thanks for helping these books find new homes!!
Repeating this helpful blog tip: You can right click on a link and you will be

Pick #10
The Third Twin by Ken Follett (spine creased)
This short audio packs a good chilling punch. I was immediately pulled into the story and waiting to find out the connections. It quickly became clear that a certain book was cursed, bringing death to those who opened it and perhaps even to those who only handled it. Then the nature of the book and the history are revealed as Moe, a round bellied, rather unattractive and unemployed reporter begins to chase down the story. Moe discovers a connection to a second book, the mob and a murderous bounty hunter. Moe has a chance to become a hero and redeem his writing career. But will he survive the experience?
