Book Finds
Today I had to drive Ben into town to take his provincial science exam. During the two hours he was writing the exam, I went and bought myself a few crochet hooks. Then James decided a snack was in order so out to the car I went to feed him and change his enormously poopy diaper. I don't know where he puts it all, but it poured forth like yellow lava from the diaper and through his sleeper.
When I finished cleaning up the mess I still had over an hour to kill before needing to get Ben. So I drove to a thrift store I don't usually patronize and proceeded to splurge $3.50 on books. I came home with:
The Complete Father Brown Treasury by G. K. Chesterton
The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas (which weighs about 5 lbs.!)
A boxed set of the last three "Anne" books by Lucy Maud Montgomery (so my girls can have their own copies)
A complete Glycemic Index in paperback
The American Way of Birth by Jessica Mitford
Don't ask me where I am going to put these treasures as my shelves are already overflowing!

ReplyDeleteI love finding books, especially for that cheap. One of life's great pleasures, imo.
ReplyDeleteI have the Complete Father Brown as well, and it is certainly a delightful read. Chesterton does make the occasional slam against Protestantism which always gets me hissing though. ;)
