Some kind soul donated four boxes of romances to the library last week. Donations very rarely get put into the library’s collection (costs too much to process them). Instead, they are sold to the public to raise money for various library programs. Today, I had a chance to go through the boxes and was thrilled to discover sixteen historical romance books that I was interested in.

I didn’t start reading romances until around 2003. It’s one of the newest genres I read so I haven’t collected as many romances as I have other genres. In general, I don’t buy books until I’ve read them at least twice but I made an exception today since $0.50/paperback was too good of a deal to pass up. I limited my selection to books that got good reviews on Amazon from writers I’ve read before and liked. However, I still ended up with more books than I meant to buy I now have them all cataloged in LibraryThing. Tomorrow is my day off so I’m hoping to get my housework done early so I can start reading my new books
