I had just realized that I haven't bought any books - new or used - since Labor Day Weekend. It helped that my own Library Used Book Store has been out of commission for the last month. (Not that I've gotten much reading done.) I had about convinced myself that I ought to impose a moratorium on book purchases. Say, until after Christmas. Or until my TBR pile was down to..only what will actually fit in that seven-shelf bookcase. I could start using that fancy new library that I have been bragging about, and only buy books that I really, really plan to keep forever and ever.
I just received an e-mail from the friendly people at booksalefinder.com listing all of the used book sales in my area this weekend. Check it out:
Barrington, IL 10/16 - 17
Cary, IL 10/16 - 17
Elgin, IL 10/12 - 13
Glencoe, IL 10/16 - 18
Indian Head Park, IL 10/16
Mount Prospect, IL 10/16 - 17
Palatine, IL 10/15 - 17 *** Exceptional
Western Springs, IL 10/16 - 17
Wheeling, IL 10/16 - 17
Four of those libraries - four - are on the way to my brother's house. And I am pretty sure the one in Arlington Heights is next weekend.
They are killing me.
