Got a spare or two?

Hello lovely readers! I wanted to send a special thank you to fellow blogger, Natasha, over at 1330V for donating heaps of children's books for our book drive! I am so very thankful for this and I'm sure the children who are going to receive them are going to be thrilled!

It's not too late to donate if you haven't already! For those of you new to the blog I am currently holding a book drive that will run until the end of July. Gently used and/or new books for children/pre-teens are currently being accepted. Your generous donation will be given to Reading to Kids. Reading to Kids is a grassroots organization dedicated to inspiring low-income children with a love of reading.

Our donated books will be given to the children after their reading clubs to take home and build their own home libraries. Parents receive donated books as well so that they can help nurture their child's newfound love for reading. So dig up some of your childhood books, ask your friends to donate some of theirs or roam the shelves at your local bookstore for the latest releases.

Ways to donate to this book drive:

• Bring your new or gently used children's book(s) to our next book club meeting in July
• Contact yours truly so that we can organize a meet-up where I can pick up your book donations
• I am currently working to get donation boxes placed in some local independent book stores in the city. If all goes well I will announce these bookstore locations where you can drop off your donations
• Not in Los Angeles but still want to help? Let me know and we can make arrangements to work something out
  
• Above all please contact me if you're interested in helping out. Every book counts.
