We went to downtown Tampa on Monday and that tends to mean one main thing...

Buying books at the library!!!!!!

They have the most awesome books. It's like the equivalent of bi-annual book sale back home but they have it ALL THE TIME! It's a whole room of books for sale, like putting a five year old in a candy store.

I tried to be responsible. I only bought four books this time.

Violin by Anne Rice
The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington by Jennet Conant
Captain Freedom: A Superhero's Quest for Truth, Justice, and the Celebrity He So Richly Deserves by G. Xavier Robillard
The Problem with Murmur Lee: A Novel by Connie May Fowler

They also had almost ten years of Theatre Yearbooks from 1989-1999 but missing 1994-1995. While I loved seeing photos of early photos of Audra McDonald, Michael Emerson and Debra Messing, I had one person in particular that I was hoping they would have.

Every issue, except two, mentioned Clark Gregg in some capacity but NO PHOTOS!
Dammit, don't they realize that 20 years later we might care who these people are?

At least, he was in the People's Sexiest Man issue...
He wasn't in the 2013 Hollywood Vanity Fair issue either or Tom Hiddleston or any of the Avengers except Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey, Jr. and a caricature of Scarlett Johansson...although I did enjoy the photos of Ewan McGregor, Daniel Craig and Jeremy Irvine.

Sounds like a nice mixture of books.

Ah, book sales for the win.

Our libraries just have them once a year. But the last time I went there were book dealers that got let in 20 minutes before everybody else, and they'd bought everything anybody might want. Like, virtually everything. So I stopped going.

My library has a used bookstore that's open two days each week throughout the year. It's a large room the basement. I'm glad it exists, because there are no other used bookstores in this city.
