My husband loves books and reading. His favorite hangout is the library. I'm guessing we might be the only people who have bookshelves in our bathrooms. He loves to go the the book sales at the library. They sell entire bags for $.50. He can't resist.
A while back we made an agreement. No fabric for me and no books for him. I felt pretty guilty sneaking my fabric in the house when he was at work. One day I went out to the trunk of his car to get something and the entire trunk was full of books he was trying to sneak into the house. So not worth getting upset over. He does the cooking, the grocery shopping and the laundry. I can't complain.
