Books, movies, games, toys, and other items! Free to a good home. Let me know if you want any of these.
The list is now a spreadsheet; to view it, follow that link.
The spreadsheet is divided into three tabs: books; movies; and games, toys, and other objects.
For general information and context about the books, see below.
The list contains a total of about 350 items, as of November 23, 2024.
About the books
Provenance and recommendations
I’m sorry to say that I can’t give recommendations about the books on the list.
About 80% of them were donated to my Little Free Library; some of the others were my father’s; some are books that I no longer want, or that I have duplicates of.
I know nothing about most of the books on this list; and of the ones that I have read, I didn’t like most of them enough to keep them. But you may love them! Different people have different tastes.

Condition, links, genre, titles, etc
Most of the books on the list are in fair to good condition, but some have soot-damaged covers. If you want more info about anything on the list, just ask.
Links for speculative fiction books go to ISFDB. Links for other books mostly go to Goodreads or the Doghouse book database. In all cases, the links may not show the same edition or the same cover as the version of the book that I’m giving away.
I’ve included my best guess about genre for most of these books, but I could be wrong about them. If you’re looking for a particular topic or genre or type of book, like travel or dog or mystery or memoir or nonfiction, try searching in the spreadsheet, or sorting by the Genre column.
Some of the book titles listed are marginally NSFW. I’ve rot-13ed those titles. Some of the content of some of the books is also NSFW, but I haven’t marked those books.
