I am so grateful to find this site. In Canada, ANY book I bought from USA, even if it was a 1 cent used book, cost $12.97 shipping!!


Then when you don't want the book anymore, you can sell them back on this site!


You can also donate textbooks for underprivileged students in various countries


or donate any type of books for people who are trying to gain literacy.


Bibliotherapy- therapy through books. Much cheaper than a therapist, and you can read them again and again to get different things from them at different stages of your life.


One thing the world might never have enough of is LOVE,
but
the other thing, is books.

Every life is a storybook.

(Probably more than one book actually.)
Blessings,

Thank you so much for sharing this! I love books and I buy them everywhere I go, so this will definitely help my bank account! Do you have any recommendations? I will give anything a try!

You're welcome Nikki, If you read through my comments, Firebird seems to regularly suggest books to me. I already have 50 books here that I bought but have not had time to read. I guess it depends what kinds of books you like to read and what subjects, and fiction or non fiction, etc. The one I bought most recently and I read again and again is by a lady with lupus. The only good book about couples where one is ill, and it's called "A husband, a wife and an illness." They have a website at www.couplesfacingillness.com . Firebird suggests a lupus book somewhere in my comments of the last 3 posts. Sorry I don't have time to look now, running to the hospital where Mom is. I raised my 2 girls while I had lupus too. I think I told you that in my long email to you last month. Do you also have fibromyalgia? I can recommend a great book if you do. I have a lot of books about lupus and MS that help me in my lifestyle because the symptoms are so similar. I don't read fiction. No time.
Blessings,
Sheila

Hi!
I was wondering if you had gotten the reply email I sent you? I hope, unfortunately I have "short term" memory loss, I think a nice withdrawal symptom from the lexapro and valium. I feel so out of it. I was really touched by your email and want to thank you for sharing with me. It's not necessarily a great thing that we have in common, but knowing there is someone else suffering helps you to get through together. I do not have fibromyalgia, I was in a car accident a few years back and the doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia then, but I believe it was a misdiagnosis and my pain was from the car accident only.

I was a bookaholic before but now I read the Bible first thing in the morning and some inspirational and Christian literature. And most of the time if I can use the computer, I do blogging and reading my emails. I get much of the information I want from blogging, reading newspapers and watching informative shows like National Geographic and Discovery channel. Thanks for the information though. It will come in handy when the need arises. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.

Hi Sheila--

Just went to the Better world Books site-- didn't know about them before--
It looks like a great alternative for ordering books. Some of their prices are better than Amazon.com, some are higher. They put a link to Amazon on the page so you can compare (sometimes the Amazon price is different once you go to Amazon, however, so need to look carefully...)

I just finished reading a wonderful book--It's called "Effortless Pain Relief", by Ingrid Bacci. I went to a talk she gave at my church, and I was very impressed and bought her book--I was really amazed at how helpful it is, for understanding and working out the dynamics of illness (especially pain). It gives a whole scenario by which we can treat ourselves. She is also a hands-on healer, using various techniques. She found a way to heal herself from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (she was very disabled from it for years, before there was even such a diagnosis!)I passed on my copy to my friend who has fibromyalgia.
I just was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse, and am using her techniques--they are very simple but profound...
"Effortless Pain Relief" is available at the website you give here. Also you can buy it at the author's site: www.ingridbacci.com

Sheila, I don't remember a lupus book--perhaps it was someone else who mentioned one?

Hope your life situation is working out, and settles down to give you a break--well, I can hope, can't I? Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...

Oi. Parabéns pelo excelente blog. Gostaria de lhe convidar para visitar meu blog e conhecer um pouco a respeito do Brasil. Abração
