My next favorite day of the year after Christmas might be the Shepard's Center Used Book Sale. I went for the first time last year and it was AWESOME! I got a ton of books last year, and I could hardly wait until this year.
Christopher and I took a long weekend this week so we could go to the book sale (okay, so that was something I wanted to do a little more than Christopher, but he was a willing participant), do some yard work, go to Biltmore and relax a bit.
I didn't get as much this year as I did last year, but these are my awesome finds! Included in there is a book on Lincoln for Keith and a copy of Pride and Prejudice for Megan. (She is going to wonder why I am sending her another copy...I got one for her last year too. What's better than having a copy of your favorite classic book? Having a collection of your favorite classic book!)
