Walked into the Friends of the Library book sale with an empty bike 🚲 basket, walked out with barely enough space for the haul.

Five books (3 hardcover + 2 paperback) and one 1K piece puzzle for $9 💰 An incredible deal!

Was the basket rubbing on the front tire on the drive home? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes.
