Your local Secondary school or College might appreciate some German language books?

The problem with them is - they are mostly translations from the English... Which is why I dont' want to keep them, and they won't be great for teaching/learning English, either. Plus, most of them are old, very old...

Ginger beer for me, please.

Just googled Miss Blyton's name and read the Wikipedia entry.

Not having been brought up on her books, or read them, I think I'll look for a couple.

We read Nancy Drew mysteries when I was a girl. I also loved "At the Back of the North Wind" by George MacDonald.

If I of all people can do it ANYONE can lol... trust me I am the worst book hoarder in the universe :oops:

It's so hard... I even make sure they're going to a good home...

... yes I am the kind of person who will go and buy a brand new copy of a book because the front cover of the one she has has a crease in it... and I'm not kidding :oops: :oops:
