Night of the living rez
May 12, 2023

I was a little dismayed to see a "little free library" stamp on the book. I read books from my neighborhood little free library as well as my city public library and would never consider selling these books for profit.

When it arrive I was surprised because I wasn't expecting it for another week or two. But when I started to page through it I am so glad I have it now. The anticipation of starting it is making me to consider to stop the one I am on now and start this one. It grabbed my interest that quick just like the delivery

Book Buyback
May 11, 2023

Fair prices, fast payment. The labels BooksRun provide for shipping books to them sometimes are FedEx and sometimes USPS. I prefer FedEx - I do not like shipping via USPS.
