I bought a copy from a used book dealer & have reread it many times. I used to borrow it from the library often but they discarded it so I bought my used copy. <br/>I like everybody in Pilgrim's Inn a lot (they are all so kind & nice & friendly), especially Nadine. I'm almost sorry she is not real as I have a lot in common with her & I also have a crush on her.<br/>She is so beautiful. Pilgrim’s Inn is the best.

I take my work to a local bookstore/coffee shop at least once a week, and more often than not walk out with a new one. A hardbound collection of Emily Dickinson's poems was the last one and I am enraptured.<br/><br/>Erasmus was a wise man ;). Nine hundred and sixty-seven books… that is utterly marvelous.

Nothing else so tests the limits of my frugality.<br/><br/>Do you (and/or your readers) know about LibraryThing, Gretchen? The 200-book free limit will barely even dent your collection, but it *is* fun, and so easy, to catalog books. I've been putting off adding my full collection while I'm busy at school, but it couldn't be simpler to do, and is so satisfying.<br/><br/>http://www.librarything.com/ Oh, books…my greatest material weakness, I think.

I think it's a neat one!<br/>I ♥ book shopping esp. for ones that have been recommended to me that I can fine for next to nothing. Book Sales are better than the Mall any day!!<br/>Did Abigail get to go with you all? I'm going to guess that you and Merritt have 1300 books together. I can't wait to find out how close I am :)<br/>~Samantha We have that book “Where the Wild Things Are”. I think it’s a neat one!
