My local bookstore had a warehouse sale so I picked up 16 books for $30 ($10 once I used my trade in credit) 🤗 Bryson is skeptical about our sagging bookshelves' ability to hold them though 😄 Also, I am really hoping tagged book is going to help my grammar inprove.

Ruthiella Nice haul ! 😀 4y
Tamra Love a sale find! 4y

Flew through this. Note that I am out of blue tabs- because those were what I was using to remind myself of things I had forgotten! It's a quick read, and I skimmed many parts. 3.5⭐

Graciouswarriorprincess One of my favorite grammar books! 4y

Other grammar/writing books are good, but this one also manages to be witty. 👍🏻
