I was at the library this afternoon, returning books and saying goodbye to my librarian. And I happened to notice that there was a crate of books next to her desk, and that the top one was The First Two Lives of Lukas-Kasha, and that it had one of those This Book Has Been Removed From The FLP stickers on its spine, meaning that it was en route to be sold for a quarter from the cart next to the circ desk. She noticed that I was eying it, and encouraged me to pick through the crate. To make a long story short, I acquired eight Alexanders and one Aiken, plus a Colfer from the cart downstairs. Apparently it's weeding time in the A's (although I was reassured that there are newer copies of everything; either on-shelf or on-order). And she wouldn't let me pay for any of them on the grounds that I'm a college student and therefore poor. That's all of $2.25, but I appreciate it.

And I was restrained. Considering the free space on my bookshelf, I did not bring home the nice old hardcovers of The Prydain Chronicles (No, I will NOT collect multiple editions of Prydain. My bookshelf isn't that big, and multiple editions of Tamora Pierce's stuff is bad enough. Even if my habitual book-browsing-and-rescuing means that I already have a good start on multiple paperback imprints of Prydain.) I did get some Vesper Holly, although I still don't have The Jedera Adventure. Ah well.

Books, books, books!
