Have you ever had that problem? You know the one, where you have 5'000 book and you pass a book sale and decided you can give a few more a good home. Yep. I did it. About 20 books that came home with me. I parked the bag on my table and am off to hunt for shelf space somewhere.

I did pick up a copy of Urban Allies, so that will at least cover a "U"
