A special thank you to blogger friends who in some way contributed to me buying a few new books this week (they were mentioned,at one time, by one or more of you). None of them were more than $4.00-$5.00 so how could I pass them up. (I'm still tracking my $$ spent on books in 2010 and will post updates in my end of month posts in case anyone is interested).
Additional thanks goes to publishers and others in the book promotion industry for passing along to me some great looking books this week.
