AHHH, BOOKS

When I first moved to Ireland, I tried to get a library card at the library in my town.  I couldn't get one because you needed a utility bill and we don't pay our own utilities.  They are paid by our company. :0)  I complained to my husband and he said he would talk to Relo and see what they could do.  He finally got me a utility bill, but it has his name on it. :0+  So I just gave up the idea of a library card.  I go into Dublin every so often - mostly on a Saturday.  On the street where the Hard Rock Cafe is, they have a sort of little square and there are 3 used book dealers who put tables up there.  I have been going there and buying several of their books. 

The other day I was walking down the street in my town and noticed that the Library was having a used book sale.  My friend and I went in and found that they were selling used hardbacks and paperbacks 3 for 2 euro.  She bought 9 books and I bought 6.  That was last week.  Today I went by there again and saw that the sale was still on.  I went in and bought 3 more books.  :0)  So now with the 3 books I brought back with me from the States at Christmas, I have 12 books.  Well, I've read one already, so now I have 11 left.  That should do me for awhile.  Plus we're going into Dublin again this weekend!  :0)
