Or, if you do buy them and find you don't want them, pass them on.

I am going to visit my local library this week and get back in the habit of going there.Boyett-Brinkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066753762645278933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-58712669846673909222011-06-10T18:53:36.402+05:302011-06-10T18:53:36.402+05:30I like both, it depends on the book.I like both, it depends on the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-63223220698556272162011-06-10T08:47:21.442+05:302011-06-10T08:47:21.442+05:30I certainly do have much to learn about selective ...I certainly do have much to learn about selective hoarding!
