Maybe it's a good thing

We missed the book sale, the once a year doozy that contains every book you could desire, all under 10 dollars.  With my selves full and my daughter and I exchanging books we haven't read and the library just down the road, maybe that's a good thing.

I have a book of book, purchased for a dollar each from the book exchange before they closed shop.  Mosley, Burke and Grimes, mystery writers all and most of their new and old for a dollar each and I haven't dipped into that box yet.  I have been trolling the thrift center and their shelves are packed with everything from diet to travel and these are current books.  It's just amazing what is out there for pennies to the dollar.  And do not get me started with online and books you can pick up for a penny plus shipping and Barnes and Nobels  with their sale tables.

So, according to my daughter, maybe it's a good thing we missed the sale, our shelves are groaning already.  Do we need more books we haven't read?  More cookbooks to fondle, while we admire the food porn pics?  More authors to discover and pursue?  No, not really.
