Progress Thoughts:
I continue to be touched by the generosity shown as part of You Give= We Give. Jess, Brodie and I are so excited to be able to help bring some Christmas joy to those less fortunate this year, but there's no way we would be able to do that without all the incredible donations we've had. I can't thank you enough for opening your hearts and wanting to contribute!
Picture Evidence:
The top row are all books donated by Shelleyrae at Book'd Out and Harper Collins Australia who sent 2 copies of A Need So Beautiful-thank-you so very much. The second row are all books we were able to purchase with the money collected in the pay-pal account. We will be emptying it every month and using it's contents to purchase more books. There are more to come; these are just the ones that arrived this week.
These books were actually donated by my mum =D She loves the idea and wanted to contribute. I love you mum--you rock!
Also a big thanks goes to author Simon Hayes who donated a signed copy of his novel Hal Junior: The Secret Signal.
Here were have all the books I donated so far. I'll probably add a few more as I get them, but for now here's what I have.
Total:
Future Hopes:
Well it goes without saying that I'd love to collect as many books as possible this year to touch the lives of those who many otherwise go without, but I also hope that everyone can feel the satisfaction and pride I know I'm feeling when I see how what it is that we're doing for a nothing human being!

Aww go Rachel's mum! Some amazing books this week from publisher, donations and your own reading arsenal <3 I think the third most exciting part (first is actually getting them, second is putting them under the tree!) will be wrapping all these. I love wrapping Christmas presents haha.
