Hi All! I’ve been working on a couple of wish lists for A Dry Read: New Books for Nashville. The first one is a Barnes and Noble’s website. If you click on the link in the sentence before this one, I think it will take you to the wish list for the project. On that site, I browsed through their childrens bargain books and identified LOTS (um, 407) of titles that are super cheap. The Barnes and Noble selections are mostly for younger kids. There are some sticker books, movie books, and puzzle books in there. Teachers use those as prizes for jobs well done in the classroom (for anyone who is leery of buying something that’s not strictly a story book). You can shop there and have them mailed directly to Pencil Foundation. The other wish list is on Amazon. If you search for a wish list from Pencil (just type pencil in the search box for wish lists), look for the one with our button and Ulli Heregger’s name. Here’s the direct link, though I’m not sure it will work. Again, Pencil Foundation’s snail mail address is the default delivery address for that list. Just purchase what you want and have it sent there directly! The Amazon list is for Young Adult (YA) readers (mostly–there are some very young pre-teen books on there, too–think Judy Blume).  Multiple copies of titles are very welcome.
