Brandi<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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

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