Books!

Well, I just got home from the local library booksale, as of an hour or two ago, and I'm well pleased with what I found:
1. an organ magazine with tunes from the Romantic era set for organ that I can play at church;
2. two Anne of Green Gables books, the good ones (the early ones!) and
3. more language learning books than I care to admit that I've bought.

The prize treasure of the foreign language book is a devotional book entitled "Actos de Fe" (whoops, almost wrote "feo" which would mean something quite different!), with a different and short devotional for every day of the year... in Spanish! :) I already have a devotional (for lawyers) but it's going to run out sooner since it goes in weeks and not days, and who says I can't do two? Praising God should be endless... or so said my devotional for last week.

I also found and have already read a little children's book in Spanish about a man who sells hats, and the trouble that befalls him when he falls asleep under a tree full of monkeys. Muy amusante...

The last (but not only) treasure was a cookbook half in Chinese, half English. I found at least one vegetarian recipe, so will have to try that. I am so very excited at the prospect of reading these books... and yes, I will get my legal reading finished too. Who says I can't take breaks? It's summer!!!

So, for all of you who have that book on the shelf that you just haven't managed to make time for, I encourage you to read it. A little bit of it. A page of it. Just read!
