I don't buy new books. My income doesn't allow it, but yard sales are a
great source for fiction. I also have a large collection of cookbooks from
yard sales also. Many of them have pretty awful recipes, but I manage to
pick the best ones to try. I've read all of Mary Higgins Clarke mysteries,
but lately have been reading
books about the Amish. Beverly Lewis, Wanda Brunstetter, Cindy Woodsmall.
and others......A public library is also a good source for cookbooks.
