Just as I do every year (when it is open), I headed out to the Hoosier Hills Book Sale early in the morning on October 14th and then again today (the 16th), armed with a humongous spreadsheet and a rolling shopping bag, to see what treasures I could find to bring home. Since the fair was cancelled last year and this year's fair was advertised as bigger than ever, I was hoping to get closer to my record-breaking 103 books of a few years ago. But, even with two trips, I've managed just over half that number with 63. Plus 13 CDs for Brad (who joined me on today's outing).
