The Quest for the Lost Library Books

That's more dramatic than it needs to be. I picked out some books the other week and forgot to bring them home and made a huge fuss looking for them because one of the books was by my favorite author, Norton Juster. After dropping off packages I went to the library with new eyes and I felt so lucky that I found the books I had selected but forgot.

I need to start listing books. My goal is 10-20 books a day on Instagram, Depop, and Mercari. I've been procrastinating. It's so much more fun to source and I am bent on selling inventory that has gone stale. There might be a yard sale in my future.

I donated $2 because I am flat broke. i got 17 books.
