Cammie On Wednesday one of my customers gave me a bag full of books. I kept 16 and sold the rest to Half Price Books and then bought Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. All the books I kept were 80's and early 90's romance that I put on my maybe read list.

Sigh....gone are the days when I had hubby's credit card and could go fill my arms with first edition hardcovers hot off the press from my local bookshops. My saddest personal impact of this horrible economic crisis!! I know it's shallow and frivolous, but it's still painful!! :[
