He then told her that a local library was having a huge book sale. She puraches 16 there..but couldn't say no to shakespear books for .50 and hard cover books for $2... She knows I can't say not to books..she tells me it is better than other addictions she could have... Hubby is planning to build a whole wall floor to ceiling in our house that is just book shelves....

I once overheard my son (age 5 or so) telling his little sister (3) that if she really wanted something while we were at the store, to ask for a book. He informed her that I never say "NO" to books. LOL. It was true too. I tried to think of one time I had said no to getting him a book he wanted and couldn't think of a single time.
