Friends of the Library Used Book Sale Score

Total Spent: $13.25
P.S. Yes, I am addicted to buying used books. No, I haven't read all the books I last posted a photo of. Yes, I'm still on a short story kick (in theory). No, Mary Karr's memoir is not a short story. Yes, I do get easily distracted and yes, I do have too many damn books. Do you want to make something of it? We could, you know, because I'm just doing laundry right now and waiting for Family Guy to start, so I've got like, five hours.
