Got some nifty titles too...

Ha! Of course I mean gems in the most positive sense. Some of these titles fill some holes in my collection. And I'm curious about the Mooney title; I've been following his blog for a while now. Lots of action there.

Ariel Gordon said...

Sorry! I meant that I'd also gotten some good titles from Gerry this week...

SUCH a good way to thin your library, if thinning is what you want to do. (Horrors! Ack!)

Brenda Schmidt said...

A necessary evil. I have to take a hard look at my books now in order to find space. Ugh.

Lovely to see those books on your shelf, especially with that guardian standing by. What could go wrong! Leafs in '11.

Ha! Exactly! What could go wrong!
