Library Book Sale!
So. I bought 36 books this weekend. 8D Today was the $2-a-bag book sale and yesterday was the regular book sale. Yay!
On Saturday I couldn't get as many books as I wanted, because I had to take the bus home and only had my backpack to carry them in. DX But today I had a ride and carted away 26!
