Wow! *grumble* That’s some haul. *grumble* And the best part is I’m not even remotely jealous.
While I hate to see the demise of independent bookstores I love it at the same time because I can get such good deals on books. A local indie, for example, meet with its ending earlier this year and I cleaned up. The stack on the headboard of the bed is so precarious presently I have to read more each night to get it back to safety margins.
Just one clinker in the bunch. But I’m not saying which one.
