Obsession 2.0: You can never have enough books

Rate: 3 Flag
Saturday, the girls and I took our money and went to the annual library book sale, where we were able to get 54 books for awesome price of $45.45. Here the girls (and cats) are arranging them.




Jack and Dan definitely approve.

Sunday, the boy and I went back to the sale since it was $6 a bag. We had spent Saturday evening collecting all the loose change in the house and were able to get 8 bags. We had a great time--Bobby filled three bags with cookbooks and science fiction for himself. I loaded up on a lot of history, sociology, and hospice-related texts, as well as some classics and cool-looking new fiction authors. When Lil, Rose and I were through laying those books out in batches and counting, we tallied 184 books, so between the two days, we managed to find 238 very cool books.

 Rick in awe--let's call it that, ok?
 First two bags.

Rosie surveying the goods.
Needless to say, there are still piles of books.
It's going to take awhile to organize and put them in the appropriate bookcases.
 And just because it's geek heaven, exploding Tardises.
And Daleks...
And some Sheldon!
Awesomeness!

You really had a book feast - 238 books! I hope all of you enjoy arranging and reading each one of them. Those darling orange cats. . . I have their third brother living with me! :o)

We had a blast picking them out--the girls have already dug into their stash and started reading them. The boy's arranged his three bags worth on his bookcases. I've still got to do mine. ;)

There's just something so wonderful about orange cats. :)
You need to take those knicknacks off the shelves to make room for even more books! I have probably have over 2000 books and can always find room for more.
Actually, we emptied those shelves of books and moved them to another room so that we could display the scifi collection. :)
Title says it all for me. ;-)
