a used books haul

It is now 4:05 PM Tuesday afternoon. The sun is still shining outside. The power wash fellows never showed up to clean our house outside and to clean our windows. Carol got up around 2 o'clock PM from a nap. I left the house to do errands and while out I stopped at a local thrift store and bought some used books for our library. Carol and I are readers. I bought these used books this afternoon for four dollars-

This afternoon after reading a ton of 17th century Dutch Reformed Theology I got out to read 'Nemesis' a crime novel by Jo Nesbro. I read that till Carol got up around 2 o'clock PM. In the mail today I received two books I had ordered recently from Amazon, these two novels by both Russian writers-
