Love hearing about all your books; you may want to check into Bethany House publisher-they have the blogger program and you get to choose a book a month(from their list), read it and review it on your blog. Great way to get free books. <br />Hope you have a great afternoon.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-3531773417533614762016-02-21T01:31:09.236-08:002016-02-21T01:31:09.236-08:00Your post made me smile with understanding.

If I see a good buy at the thrift store or I hear of a good book I start looking for it. Sometimes I slow down on the buying as I need to catch up to the reading.
