I Am a Book Hoarder

In a previous post I shared about my love for the 2nd graders and teaching them to read. Their progress and enthusiasm excited me so much that I purchased a special bookshelf for next year's 2nd grade class and had my father assemble it during his visit. Then, during a trip to Half-Price Books I picked up about six or seven children's books for this new bookshelf. At only 50 cents per book how could I pass up such lightweight items? This type of purchase has been repeated at various yardsales, thrift stores, etc. during the summer. Now, two days before returning to Honduras I realize that I have 45 lbs of books! No exaggeration.
