I suspect I...Hee-hee, <b>Kathy</b>, you could be right! I suspect I'm going to come home with a suitcase full of books...<br /><br />Thanks, <b>Alayne</b>. Buying books is a dangerous (but fun) addiction!<br /><br />Same here, <b>Lenore</b>!<br /><br /><b>Tara</b>, I haven't followed your advice yet, but I will soon!<br /><br />Thanks, <b>Beth</b>! I went to another library sale yesterday and was very disappointed in their selection (although I managed to come home with 6 books anyway!).<br /><br /><b>Linda</b>, I'm the same, I forget sometimes which books I own, especially those in a series. I'll be bringing a list with me to NYC! Oh and Mr. B was a bit upset that you'd think Mo was a chimp! (Don't ask -- Mo totally looks like a chimp to me too.) Thanks for your comments about my dishcloth. I do plan on using it (although I haven't yet), but I know what you mean about journals that are too nice to write it!<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b>, I just saw yesterday that a TV movie was made of <i>Tipping the Velvet</i>, which I may have to try to find once I've read the book. I haven't read any of Waters' books yet, but I've heard so many good things about her.<br /><br /><b>Melissa</b>, I'm hopelessly addicted to buying books, especially at book sales when they're so cheap!<br /><br />Thanks, <b>Mary</b>!<br /><br /><b>Donna</b>, yup, I think our tastes in books overlap quite a bit. I take it you enjoyed <i>Folly</i> and <i>The Kiss Murder</i>? And yeah, these posts take time but they're still easier (for me) than writing reviews! Thanks for the compliment about my dishcloth! The seed stitch is one of my favourite stitches too once it's done; I find it a bit tiresome to do!<br /><br /><b>Jenners</b>, and I put lots of books back!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-67103222597326123032010-04-26T20:22:17.593-04:002010-04-26T20:22:17.593-04:00I'll say you went a little crazy!!

Of those pictured, I've read Folly and The Kiss Murder. I have a couple of the others. I think we like a lot of the same books! :)<br /><br />I have to say, I'm impressed with this great post! It must've taken you forever to do it with all the links and all the cover photos. <br /><br />BTW, the dishcloth looks great. The seed stitch has always been one of my favourite knitting stitches.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652392729923383591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-3613612344740259082010-04-26T14:19:06.620-04:002010-04-26T14:19:06.620-04:00Fab library sale finds!

I sometimes forget what books I have, lol.<br /><br />What a cute chimp! Oh, but is it a chimp or a monkey?<br /><br />Believe it or not, even though the dishcloth is knit looser on one side, it's not noticeable. From the picture, I would have thought the camera was tilted. Besides, it's a dishcloth and meant to be used, unless you think it's too pretty to be used. (That has happened to me, where I think a journal is too pretty to be written in. Weird, but true.) =)Linda Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00490066224549013821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-63862144786308876572010-04-26T12:16:20.676-04:002010-04-26T12:16:20.676-04:00Your library sale has great books!
