Well, a couple times I volunteered to work a whole day at library book sales, and volunteers would get an entire Trader Joe’s sized paper bag full of books of our choosing, for free. I think I brought home over 100+ those days…

I did end up re-donating over half of them back to another library because I knew I would never get around to reading them.

Just try, “wouldn’t you rather have me get FREE books than have to PAY for them?!?”

Of course, that logic is totally flawed, because I still buy far more books than I can read (more than I could read even if I WASN’T getting free books that had to go to the top of Mount TBR), but I’m trying not to blatantly disabuse him of his idea.

Thanks Lisa. I fixed the link, it should work now.

Devourer, I love your fiance’s logic. If only my boyfriend could see it that way. He just thinks “more books, less walking space”

Hi there. I just wanted to tell you that your link (under “here”) doesn’t actually work.

My fiance LOVES it when I get these things. Mainly because for some reason he believes that the more FREE book I get, the fewer books I will actually buy.
