 My bookshop was able to raise $50! That's twice as much as last month! (See last month's fundraiser here in this blog post.) It was all one order, the buyer purchased 6 books in total.   The Cat Who Couldnt See in the Dark $4.95 The Cat and the Curmudgeon $4.95 Kitten in the Cold $3.50 The Cat Who Came for Christmas $4.95 Animals and Why they Matter $20 Little Girl in a Red Dress with a Cat and Dog $2.95 I charged $7.99 to cover for shipping and handling. In total, her book order came out to $49.29.  The Paypa fee was $2.21. That left a net amount of $47.08. Shipping came out to  $5.75. That left $41.33 to be donated to Nine Chances Rescue. I rounded that up to $50!   I'm so very thankful, I run this small bookshop because I am disabled and dont have the money myself, but I've found a way to make a difference! I am so appreciative of everyone supporting my bookshop and a huge thank you to Lindsey over at Nine Chances Rescue. 

 It has been a week since I started my personal listing challenge. I did not list 100 items, but I'm proud that I managed 22. That's 22% . My new goal: how many days will it take me to list the rest to reach 100?  It took me a week to list 22 items , can I finish the rest within 3 days? A weekend?

 Its not an exaggeration. I've been on the verge of tears since Friday when my computer got the blue screen of death. I am feeling like I'm pushing a boulder up a hill. Books give me a magic portal to escape from. What was I able to list?  1. Escaping from Houdini  2. Look for Me 3. Right Behind You 4. Encyclopedia of Western Gunfighters 5. Outlaws of Texas  6. Lincoln in the Bardo  January was difficult on my mental health and life threw a lot my way, I'm not entirely mad that I haven't gotten close to 100. Theres still 2 days to list!

I wanted to challenge myself to list 100 items in one week. I wish Day 2 didn't count because it is technically Day 3.  From that morning, my day was off. Yesterday it was gloomy, raining, I wasn't feeling good. To make up for this, I am listing some high value items today.  1. Demdaco Faith Art Blocks Listed on: Mercari, Depop, Ebay 2. Ceramic Figurine Robin Sitting on a Branch (Lefton?) Listed on: Mercari, Depop, Ebay 3. Spring Bird Nature Epherema for Journaling  Listed on: Mercari, Depop, Ebay 4.

My goal for this Listing Challenge is to list 100 items on every platform I sell on. At first, my goal was 200 items in one week, but that felt unattainable since I'm still getting used to my flow.  I am aiming for 25 listings every day.
