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).

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
