Addicted!

Okay, okay, I admit it--I am addicted. Addicted to bargain books! I just can't help myself!

Last month I put on here an entry about Gracie's growing library. At that point, Gracie had a whopping 801 books. This included all her books from baby board books to Little Golden Books to paper back titles. These are books my mom and I have collected over the past few years.

I think my ultimate goal is to have a library for our kids. Well, for Gracie and any other children we may get around to. I loved to read so much as a child, and Gracie already loves to read to herself and make up stories, and have her daddy and I read to her.

The neat part about Gracie's collection is finding the titles among bargain books. These past few weeks I have hit the jackpot. Mom and I shopped at a bargain store in Lynchburg when we were there last and found about 40 books for less than $20. This week I made a stop at our local second hand store and got Gracie another 15 books (Mariah got about 30). And, then today, we found even more at the Hospice thrift shop, each for 25 cents! I love finding children's books.

So, as you can imagine, Gracie's collection has grown. We are now at 847. But, don't think that will stop me. As long as Candice keeps sending me Scholastic order forms, and there are thrift stores around--I will keep building up my child's book collection...and her love for reading!

I have updated the list of Gracie's books-- you can see it here. If you want a review on any of these books or a suggestion for your child email us, and I would be happy to oblige!
