Yes - a brand spanking new Harry Potter and the Blood Prince! I'm assuming that is the newest one - just out. :confused:
I was leaving work and it was in the trash in the ally! I couldn't believe it, but a lot of times if people have things that might be worth something that they just want to dump, they put it on top of the trash or next to the trash so somebody finds it - and I did! It looked like a gift because it was in a gift bag with some pickled something or other that I didn't look twice at.
So now I have two questions. First of all, I'm not really into Harry Potter and I have little time to read this kind of stuff (at least until I'm done with school and I can read something other than a text book :rolleyes: ), so if I keep the book, will I find it interesting if I've never read another Harry Potter book in my life? I have never seen any of the movies either...so will I know what's going on with absolutely no previous Harry Potter experience?
My second question is, since I probably won't read this, and I have no close family or friends I can think of that would like to read it, I was thinking about donating it, but to who, and how do I make sure some needy kid gets it rather than some "head of a charity's" kid? I want to make sure some kid who can't afford to buy it gets it, not some kid who has a gazillion Nintendo games, or XBox games, his/her own computer, etc.
The price on the inside cover is $29.99. Is that really how much it's going for? :eek: I guess I could check Amazon.com....
What do you do with a perfectly good find that is of no use to you?
