Someone had asked about books and I started to answer but then got side-tracked. Anyway, I read a lot but usually pick up my favorites, as soon as they come out in paperback. However, I've never read any of the quilt mysteries and would welcome any of those. Used books are fine, as long as they don't have cigarette smoke residue on/in them. The smoke residue gives me horrible sinus headaches, which take a long time to go away . . . and as I've learned from another swap, having them sprayed with Fabreeze, only makes things worse.
