An Act of Kindness - Sue Grafton Novels for Military Wife.
I recently joined SwapTree - Trade Books, Book Swap, Trade Video Games, CD Exchange, DVD Swap to 'recycle' some of my old books.
Basically, you list what Books, CDs DVDs and Game System games you have and what u would swap for - you can also browse to see what your item will 'pull'
- kinda like RCI/II 
Anyway, one of my swaps was for a Sue Grafton novel - all of which start with a letter of the alphabet.
When I received confirmation that the person accepted the trade and I got their address...I noticed it was in Camp Lejeune, NC......so emailed the swapper via the site.
Here is my correspondence.....

XXXXX That is so kind of you. I will look. If you have any other Sue Grafton books, that would be awesome. I only have A, B, and now C, so that would be great!! Thank you so much for your message. It isn't often that people actually realize that the kids and I go through a lot in this lifestyle. My husband has a pretty tough job, but we go through some really raw and rough emotions at time. Thanks again!!

GrayFal Hi XXXXX,
I have pulled "G", "I" and "J" off my list and will mail them along with the others....and just got "E" and "F" from a friend...again, thank you for the sacrifice that u and your family make to keep us safe. I have friends whose children are overseas and I know it is not easy.
Will mail tomorrow morning.

Anyway, this got me thinking - would anyone else like to send this woman a Sue Grafton Book?
So far she has
"A"
"B"
C is for Corpse
D is for Deadbeat from StressCadet
E is for Evidence
F is for Fugitive
G is for Gumshoe
H is for Homicide from StressCadet
I is for Innocence
J is for Judgment
"T is for Trespass" from 3kids4me!
It cost a little more than $2 to mail one book Media Mail...please post the title if you have a Sue Grafton Book to send - and then I will pm you with the name and address of where to mail it......

Unfortunately shipping from here is more $$ than just buying the books outright. I would however recommend the Janet Evanovich novels to her, if she enjoys Grafton. Some of the latter ones have been very weak, but the early ones were a hoot.
