The last time they had a sale, I came home with 94 books. Well, I do have an excuse, my husband kept saying, this looks good, oh, how about this one? What could I do? Slap him sill then and there? No! I just said, put it in the bag. Ha ha I just love the library.

It is an addiction, but hey, there are worse ones out there. I do order books online from our library, and they are delivered to my house. So I don't have to actually visit often. Sometimes I do just for fun, when I have time, but always end up walking out with more than I can read. BTW, I just ordered the School of Essential Ingredients on audio book from the library. I'm so excited!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
