My Ode to Half Price Books

Brandi has a post on loving the library… our library – well honestly I haven’t visited it yet. But I can tell you, the Waxahachie library isn’t much to write about. I’ll have to see about the Red Oak library before too long.

Instead, I’ve developed a nice love/hate relationship with Half Price Books. So now I share with you My Ode to Half Price Books.

Oh Half Price Books, how many great books you sell.
You sell them at half price so they can be loved twice as much.
Yet when I bring you books for you to buy, you buy them for pennies on the dollar.
I bring you four boxes of books – mainly medical books – and you give me 16 dollar.
I bring you $18 and you give me two books.
I love you, yet I hate you.
But until a new love comes along I will continue to buy your books.
And continue to give you a look.
I just hope you can love me the same.

For the record I got a low-carb cookbook, Time to Cook Low Carb and Lone Star Nation, by H.W. Brands for $18 Friday night
