Just returned from our local library book sale. I love going to book sales. It's always a treasure hunt, and today I did pretty good. I went in wanting only to buy one bag for $7 but then left with two. That was okay. Several on way out had the same experience. My top finds were one and two of the Rangers Apprentice series (our kids love those). Other finds: a lot of good art books, a kids' cookbook, some Austen (I'm trying to build up our collection), a copy of Little Women and Rebecca (two favorites), books for Six, and two copies of Killer Angels (one of my favorite books.) Note: for an adult read through first as there is some questionable language, but none in my opinion surpasses it as far as a recounting of a such an historical event as Gettysburg. If you have any library book sales near you, I highly recommend as they are hard to beat for the money and fun.
