Anyone who has heard me talk about BookExpo knows that one of the perks of this trade show is the books.  Stacks of books. So many books that your arms and back hurt from carrying around the books.  And that's if you're not trying to get books.  If you are working it, well, you'd better have eaten your Wheaties.

The primary purpose of the BookExpo trade show is for publishers to promote their authors and titles to the Book Selling community. In actuality, it turns into maze of lineups and a feeding frenzy of free books.

However, you don't have to be a bookseller to end up with books. Lots of books.

This year, I got a number of titles which I probably won't read. So, since the purpose of the free books is to get some Word of Mouth going... I have decided to set up
