Hello, Readers! Every year the library system that I work for has one gigantic combined book sale. There are so many books that it takes up multiple rooms of one of the expo halls in the state fair grounds, and it is a cheap bookworm's dream: row upon row of books that cost no more...

This post concludes the formal celebrations of Reviews From the Stacks turning two years old! If this catches you off guard, see this post.
