for all you book lovers

hey guys and girls, i am looking to DISPERSE/TRADE/SELL some of my books. this is a really sad, almost painful process for me, so i will do 10 books at a time. here are the rules
1. first come, first serve. 
2. one book per person - this means 10 people. i doubt even 10 will respond but still. if the book is graphic (sex/violence) i will let you know.
3. you get to choose how to pay for the book - it can be a message (hey, i want this book), it could be a trade (hey, i’ll give you this for this), or it could be bought (i’ll give you this for that book). the only restriction is a maximum price of 8 dollars for buyers. also, i will not ship books. we’ll have to figure out a way for me to give them to you personally.
4. if you do take a book and read it, you must tell me what you thought of it. if you have already read the book, you must tell me why you want it (love the book but lost it, want to give it to a friend who loves the book, whatever) —- **note: parting with books makes me incredibly sad. so i decided to be selfish. if i am going to give out stories - albeit not my own - i want YOUR story in return.  
5. if you ask for a book i have not read yet, give me until the end of winter break so that i may have the chance to read them.
6. you may ask for a book NOT on the list - if i so happen to have it, maybe something will be worked out. 
7. all books gifted to me are OFF limits
