About a year ago, there was a great used book store in my neighborhood that was going out of business, and I was able to snap up quite a few really wonderful books for an amazing price. These days, there are two that I frequent about once a month, and I always come home with some amazing finds. I love the unpredictability of those little stores!! Also, that is a really cool find, it meshes nicely with some of your reading interests!!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-44155385971569362182010-05-03T09:38:20.921-04:002010-05-03T09:38:20.921-04:00Wow that's a great find!

And if a book from the library smells like perfume or smoke, I get welts on my hands and start sneezing and can't read it! It's a condition that is very good for the those who wish me to pay full price for new books!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.com
