Husband still working at Borders in Madison, which is one of "our" bookstores, along with Half Price Books and Frugal Muse.
About my libraryI've finished adding my husband Dave's library - mostly science-fiction, noted in comments section. He's not as obsessed about getting every book in the house entered as I have become. All books listed are on our shelves - if a book is sold at Half Price or donated to Goodwill, title is removed from LT.
Highlight of my book hunting career? Finding a Mary Balogh Signet Regency mm, priced around $40-50 everywhere I search online, at the Janesville library bookshop for 25 cents. A moment of pure triumph.

Aside from the fact that I envy your husband's scifi collection and that we may have many more books in common when I get my mysteries catalogued, I have to speak to Waldenbooks staff. I was a bookseller in our local store (1381) for ten years or so while I taught private piano lessons in the afternoons. If we had been big enough to have a senior bookseller, I would have been she. Loved it! Made good use of my employee's discount, and cried in the late '90's when our little store closed. So, it's nice to see you.

My breath runs in a subtle rhythmic stream;
It fills my members with a might divine:
I have drunk the Infinite like a giant’s wine.
Time is my drama or my pageant dream.
Now are my illumined cells joy’s flaming scheme
And changed my thrilled and branching nerves to fine
Channels of rapture opal and hyaline
For the influx of the Unknown and the Supreme.
I am no more a vassal of flesh,
A slave to Nature and her leaden rule;
I am caught no more in the senses’ narrow mesh.
My soul unhorizoned widens to measureless sight,
My body is God’s happy living tool,
My spirit a vast sun of deathless light.
- Sri Aurobindo

Thanks for dropping by and for your comment. We've had friends help us move who've refused to help again too - curious isn't it? After the first time, we did learn to pack the books in smaller boxes...
I really appreciate your suggestions about good ghost movies in the Ghost Stories group. I'm reading Daughter of the Forest right now, which has been on my TBR pile for a while, and also dipping into all my ghost stories too. Somehow Christmas time seems such a perfect time for ghost stories :-)
