I can NOT wait to enjoy reading again, and more travel, and the joy of unexpected finds. In two more days my time becomes almost all my own and in one more week we begin our summer adventure - where the wind takes us, Jeanie.

I was saying what a wonderful selection you've got! I'd be really interested in the Audrey Hepburn and a few others. Tom Brokaw I've seen the special on TV, and Joan Didion, it's a sad story. Great buys!

That is awesome! The Minneapolis downtown library had a store where they sold used books but they are closing it this week and are having a sale. I walked by it and magically resisted, mostly because it was during work hours and I couldn't be away for long! They were charging $2/bag of books so it was sooo hard to pass up!!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-17528531259539171222015-05-21T18:24:52.748-04:002015-05-21T18:24:52.748-04:00My kind of sale!
