Welcome to my messy world.
I cleared two cubbies in the picture book shelf unit near the front door so I could collect the Civil War materials I may use for this term’s history class. Now I have a stack on the floor there that needs rehomed.
I did find a duplicate while shifting other topics.

My daughter keeps track of Berea activities better than I do, because she does FaceBook. She let me know there is a used bookstore down in Old Town. I’ve been a few times already, partly looking for classics Rose wants to share with T.
The proprietor, Mary Lou, is interested to buy whatever discards I might have. She has some sort of business relationship with Avena, the lady who owned Robie Books.
So I have started a pile.
Today I am looking at the three Elsie Dinsmore titles I own. They are from husband’s family collection; which I meant to conserve, but now I think that is not a particularly fruitful plan.
I read a couple of chapters, and don’t care to read more. The characters are either cloyingly good or annoyingly mean or passive/indifferent to that meanness. We are supposed to admire Elsie’s humility and struggles, but what comes through is the author’s self-righteousness.
