Book-wise

[Redwallfan7]

I go by the reviews sometimes, but usually I go by the summary. If I think the summary sounds interesting, I usually get into the series.

Yard sales - 25 or 50 cents a book....not a big loss if I end up hating the book (and its happened).  Plus most of these books I give to the library or charities to resell once I'm done with it.
