So a month or so ago, I went to a used book sale at a local church. I limited myself to one bag of books, and I felt pretty good about myself. Controlled accumulation. (If you want to see what I got then, you can check out this post.) I was satisfied. Then last Saturday, my mom asked if I wanted to go to the biannual library book sale. I tried to resist, but I knew I would give in eventually. Rooms full of books to browse through are just too much fun to pass up. I still tried to control myself. I filled only one paper bag (it was $5 per bag day), although it was certainly full to the brim (and maybe a bit above the brim. . .)
Here's are the goodies I can home with! The titles are all linked to Goodreads, so you can check them out for yourself.
