Ah, September

From an e-mail I got from paperbackswap.com:

Ah, September. Summer's over...back to school...the weather will be mild for a while longer. What could be better?

September is a lot of things: National Library Card Sign-up Month, National Pediculosis Prevention Month (you don't want to know!), National Read-a-New-Book Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, National Better Breakfast Month. It contains the holidays National Newspaper Carriers' Day, National Grandparents' Day (this Sunday!), International Literacy Day, POW/MIA Recognition Day (the third Friday of the month) and Patriot Day (the eleventh, of course). Past Septembers saw these new inventions appear: the safety pin, Scooby-Doo, the department store, the first edition of the New York Times....September is a month of beginnings and remembrances, of starting new and also looking back.

I didn't know September had all those important days in it. Wow. More reasons to love it.

More reasons to love paperbackswap too ... I'm telling you, I'm going broke mailing so many books out. But it's going to be nice when I start getting books in return!

I bet you have tons of credits. I have like 4. :(

I did have tons, but we just ordered a slew of Junie B. books for Adeline.
I've got 50 books in the mail, though, so if you're hurting for credits let me know ... I can transfer some of mine to you.

Look me up on there and add me to your buddy list. I'm "Sandi B."
