I'm in the process of moving (UGH UGH UGH) and have way too many books. Not to mention clothes, knickknacks, etc Anyway, I've got every single Susan Conant dog lover's mystery except Bride and Groom and All Shots. They're silly but fun Lots of dog lingo, well-drawn characters and setting, and quite funny. The mystery part is always a bit crap, but a light read nonetheless. My personal favourtie is the Barker Street Regulars. They've been sitting on my shelves for years and are now taking up valuable space, and I'd rather spread the love. I'd be happy to mail one, some, or all to any ODOers who want them! Just let me know. All are trade paperbacks except for Gaits of Heaven. They're all in good shape. Here's the list:

1. A New Leash on Death (1989)
2. Dead and Doggone (1990)
3. A Bite of Death (1991)
4. Paws Before Dying (1991)
5. Bloodlines (1992)
6. Gone to the Dogs (1992)
7. Ruffly Speaking (1994)
8. Black Ribbon (1994)
9. Stud Rites (1996)
10. Animal Appetite (1997)
11. The Barker Street Regulars (1998)
12. Evil Breeding (1999)
13. Creature Discomforts (2000)
14. The Wicked Flea (2002)
15. The Dogfather (2003)
16. Gaits of Heaven (2006)

If you'd like to donate them to Alaskan Malamute Rescue of New England (www.amrone.org), I'll take them. Every fall they do a benefit weekend called Camp N Pack. It's held at a local summer camp and people come from Fri-Sun and do all sorts of events with their dogs (there are all breeds of dogs there but lots of Mals and other Northern Breeds). It's a really fun weekend and this will be my 6th year going and running the agility ring and I have a blast every year. The weekend also features several silent auctions and a raucus live auction on Sat night. Susan Conant is a Mal person and many times she sends donations to the auction. I can take the books and donate them to the auctions if you'd like. All of the money raised that weekend goes to rescue. I'll even give you a FedEx account # so you can ship them to me at no charge to you!

Wow - that's amazing! I'd love to donate them! PM me the address and any other info and I can ship them off by early next week - still unpacking them but should be done by Friday. Great idea!

sent you a pm, but as a P.S. the event isn't until Oct so no rush to mail them!

off-topic, but OOH, you're unpacking already?? does this mean you've moved into the new place?

Yes! And I just got our internet hooked up about 10 minutes ago! I'll post pics soon, but it's a tiny apartment and we have a LOT of boxes More decluttering will ensue or I'll go nuts
