Justine B. (BooksForever) had to say...

Note**I do Bookcrossing so my books may or may not have bookcrossing stickers inside of them. Please email me if you do not want a bookcrossing sticker in any of the books you get from me.

I MAIL MOST OF MY BOOKS ON MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS.

If you would like to save some money, it's not necessary for you to send books with DC. 9.8 books out of 10 reach me just fine.  I am very quick on acknowledging books as they are received. Usually within the same day if not a few hours after I get them from my mailbox.

*****Most of my books (including childrens books) are in good to excellent shape. That means no tears, tight bindings, close to looking like new or very good condition with minimal wear on spine. I very rarely post any books that have dog ears or cover creasing. If I do, I will notfiy you prior to accepting your order.  I carefully choose my childrens books from places I buy them from before I post them into PBS system.  They frequently have a childs name written on the inside cover. I have decided that kids LOVE to do this! LOL. But are in otherwise pretty good shape.  Thanks for looking!!!!

My books are ALL SMOKE FREE. I have a non-shedding dog, and no other pets,.

I am a 41 year old mom of 3, who loves to read!  As I get older, I find myself becoming more of a avid reader. I have LOVED books since the age of 5 or as soon as I knew what a book was and that I could read it. I remember going to the library in 1st grade and checking out books like "Where The Wild Things Are" and "Harold and the Purple Crayon".  As I got into my teens my mom would take me once a week to pick out books from B. Dalton and buy them for me. I always had a book when my family would go on vacation somewhere.  I'm not sure WHY I became such a lover of books as my brother nor my mom read. My dad occasionally will read a book, but nothing compared to how much and how often as I do. Did I mention that I love to READ??  ha ha.

I own and operate my own hair salon.  I have 3 girls, ages 17, 9 and 11. I am from Las Vegas, but live in Arizona now. My hobbies are reading, learning to crochet and knit and quilt. I love my digital camera. I am hooked on renting movies from NetFlix and catching up on series that  I have missed parts of such as: Friends, The 4400, Las Vegas, Angel, Buffy, CSI, Dawsons Creek, Nip/Tuck, Will & Grace etc.

I love country music and dancing. I also love 80's hair band rock and some pop music.  My favorite authors are: Patricia Cornwell, Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks, Dean Koontz, Stephen King and John Saul.

My favorite genre of books is Chick-Lit although I will read just about anything. My favorite Chick-Lit authors are Wendy Markham, Melissa Senate, Sophie Kinsella and Deborah Blumenthal.
