Reading is what I love to do most of all and I get an inordinate amount of pleasure from browsing and purchasing used books. I go to thrift stores and the donated section of both my libraries. I probably have more books now than I will ever be able to read but that does not stop my quest. I have discovered some wonderful authors in this fashion. This book
Caramelo been out in the cabinet for a couple of years and I just started reading it a couple of days ago. I had read a review of it when it came out and thought I might like it. Well, I absolutely love it. Also find the dust jacket very creative. It's funny how a book might please you. Sometimes the title is just a grabber, it can be the artwork on the cover. Frequently for me a phrase will just strike the right note when I'm leafing through. This one is just pleasing in all those ways.
A nice side benefit is that each place I look usually also has a few CDs. I've been able to find some wonderful music this way. This little jewel I picked up for a buck at Mustang Library today. My mom used to sing the Hut-Sut song all the time when we were kids. I'm sure she would probably enjoy a copy of this CD. Doesn't take much to make me happy!

Didn't she also sing Three Little Fishes? And they swam and they swam right over the dam or maybe they swam on the rilla raw. Can you make me a copy of the CD?
