I haven't bought a book in so long I can't remember the last one. I just use the library. If they don't have something I want they will try and find it at the other county libraries or borrow it from an out of county library for $1.50. When we moved from the city house we got rid of 75% of our books even though when I visit someone's home for the first time I like to scan the books they have. <br /><br />I guess everyone in this town that is going to vote voted early. my sister tells me that the parking lot was mostly empty at the polling place when she drove by mid-morning.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-81759292549174910102020-11-03T12:40:54.757-05:002020-11-03T12:40:54.757-05:00Marvelous idea.

I used to get rid of my books at the church's annual book sale, but we didn't have it this May and we probably won't next May and we may never have it again. The trouble with the book sale was that I worked at it, and---you guessed it--always came home with more books than I donated to the sale.

Oh how I adore libraries of any kind, and make it my business when traveling to check out the library. I had an addiction to "one click" shopping on Amazon, and ended up with a house full of books that I wasn't even reading, so I decided to sell them all on Amazon and forever use the library. Which I have faithfully done. The books all sold well and quickly on Amazon!
