Regrets and Resolutions

I regret giving away some of my favorite books back in 2010, when I was sure that I would never read them again after getting back from my mission. WRONG. I miss them. Thankfully I kept my three favorite series (Harry Potter, Chronicles and Narnia, O'Malley) and my sister salvaged several other books. 

But that wasn't all of them. The dumb thing was, I kept some textbooks. WHO DOES THAT? Apparently my parents. I was snooping up in the attic wondering if I could find any of my missing books and lo and behold I find textbooks from the '80s. 

Lesson learned. Save children's books, not textbooks. In light of this revelation, I decided to use Christmas to get my good library back (along with some new additions). So far I've replaced "That's Our Cleo!" and added books by Beverly Cleary and Emily Rhodda. I still have to find "the BFG" and "the Book of Enchantments" but I'm waiting to find a killer deal. Amazon is a good place to go, but usually the price of the book is in the shipping, and I might be so frugal that I want to spend less than $4 a book. We'll see. Deseret Industries has proven to have hidden classics if you're willing to look long enough.

Rhetorically,
