I Heart Book Sale

I told myself that this year, since I will be moving soon (and am in purging mode and I'll have to pack and move everything that I buy), that maybe I would buy fewer books at the book sale than usual. I didn't want to deny myself anything that I wanted; I just expected that I would want fewer things.
Didn't work, hahaha. In fact, I think I bought more than ever before.
