Shall we get on with helping me clear out the duplicate books from my library? Please?
I liked rewarding frequent commenters with more opportunities to have their names drawn from the bucket, so this week I’ll repeat what we did a while back: You’ll have an entry in the next book giveaway for every comment you add to Keepa between now and this coming Thursday evening. Even brief comments that say you enjoyed a post, or that you agree with such-and-such other commenter who said something interesting, add to the sense of community here — so please don’t hesitate to speak up even if you think your comment doesn’t add much. Believe me, it does! (Of course you’re free to disagree, too; just be courteous.)
Here’s what is available to choose from when your name is drawn (an overstruck entry means an earlier winner claimed that book). Note that our most recent winner, JeannineL, hasn’t had the chance to claim her book yet, so one of these titles will be unavailable when our next winner’s name is drawn.

I don’t want any LDS books right now, which makes me sound like an ignorant fool, but I agree with such-and-such other commenter who said something interesting. 🙂
I’m on disability living in a state institution in Wyoming. I love to read, ebook said are ok but nothing can be better than marking and underlining and just loving to hold a real book. I haven’t any money so I hope to win a book, thanks for offering them.
I can’t believe that no one has snapped up David Bokovoy, “Authoring the Old Testament: Genesis–Deuteronomy” yet
If I win, give mine to Wayne.
I think I can come up with a few things for Wayne, too.
If I could get Wayne’s address, I’d happily share a few books. Need to run to the post office this week anyway. Maybe on facebook (is that any safer?)
I’ll write to Wayne and ask, then can share it privately.
You might also ask Wayne more about his tastes in books. He doesn’t need to be inundated with them all at once, but many of us could send him a book occasionally.
I really enjoyed reading this comment thread. There are good people in the Keepa community.
I loved the picture about the Winnipeg elders! I am trying to get 6 current ones to do a pose like their predecessors did just over a hundred years ago
Ardis, have you ever considered just having your apartment declared a branch of the Salt Lake City library system?
