It should come as no surprise that I made a return trip to the Hoosier Hills Book Fair. After all--it was half price day. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to get even bigger bargains. And I didn't. I came home with 33 more books (w/two duplicates--that past Bev forgot to cross off the To Be Found List)...that makes a two-day grand total of 94 books, 5 holiday CDs, and one Sherlock Holmes jigsaw puzzle. I'm glad I scooped that puzzle up on Thursday--because the puzzle table was pretty much wiped clean when I went back. I thought most people got tired of puzzles after doing them like crazy during the pandemic. I guess not...
