  • Staying Organized

    I have 644 books in my office library. No, I have not read all of them. Yes, most of them are from library book sales, thrift stores, and second-hand bookshops. Do I look like the kind of person who has Barnes and Noble money? I do not. Plus, there’s just something about the hunt, you…
