We have a book shelf .. Leave them there, it's all good.

Oh that's good, if there's a book shelf.

I must say I am impressed with your organisation, Dancing Queen!

[Dancing Queen]

Thanks, Loulou - I heard cats for a living which tends to make me an over-organizer with multiple back-up contingency plans always in place

Chefsmith - fantastic, I will leave my (and any others who do not want to go home with avid-readers or current owners) extra books at O'Connors for all to enjoy!

Looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple hours!!!

Such a nice event and so much fun! It was nice to meet many of you, reconnect with others and spend some good time talking and bookswapping with everyone. Plus we had so many books, and luckily, enough people too! Thanks to the staff at O'Connors for being great hosts as well!

The few leftover books that did not need to go back to anyone were sent with a nice girl from Books for Life who joined our group. Books for Life sounds like a quality organization that accepts donations of used books, sells them and then gives 90% of their profits to charity.

Thanks for organizing! It was fun, and now I have something to read for the summer. And it isn't Will Self
