I am SO behind in my reviewing and I'm trying my best to catch up but while out and about today I stopped by our local Hospice Thrift Store where I volunteered for about two hours stocking the books on the shelves. I had to look at the books to determine what shelf they would go on- this store organizes the book by genre (kinda. small harlequins/shilloutes on one bookcase, bigger romances in another, suspense, mystery and war on another case, etc.) instead of doing something like our Goodwill that just shoves the books on the shelves.-I don't buy books from Goodwill unless I can help it. I can buy 8 paperback books at the Hospice Store for the same price as 4 at the Goodwill. Anyways, while I was looking at these books I put some aside that were my grandma's type of book or looked really interesting. Then when I had finished stacking the shelves, I waled out the store $4.50 poorer and 9 books richer! I thought I'd take this time to tell y'all I might need an intervention and to show y'all what I got!
