Today's happiness -- Free books. To thank us for helping with the sale, we volunteers were allowed to take as many "left over" books as we wanted for free. I looked forward to this for days!
Here's my haul:
Little Gloria, Happy at Last (1980): A well-worn copy that once belonged to Betty Reed (whoever that is). I've always meant to read this and never got around to it.
Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig (2005). Last year, my favorite of my book sale books was an exhaustive biography of Joe DiMaggio. I hope I like this one, too.
Cary Grant: A Biography (2004). I was holding a big, thick tome on Bette Davis and then I spotted this one. No offense to Bette, but Cary Grant just captivates me.
Diana: In Pursuit of Love (2004). You know, William and Harry's mum. It's probably crap, but I don't care.
The Undomestic Goddess (2005). I read all the Shopaholic books by the author and really enjoyed them, so this feels like a good bet.
Sand in My Bra (2003). Funny short stories about travel by women writers.
The Twist and Shout Murder (2006): "That Girl meets Miss Marple."
Purrfect Heat (2017): Max, a big orange tabby, solves mysteries.
I also liberated four books to give to share with Kathy, my aunt, my kid sister, and my friend Joanna.
Books. They make me happy. A dozen free books is cause for celebration.

Each day in August you are to
post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it
doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a
great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in
our lives, our communities, and the world.
Sweet haul! And a very good reason to be happy. :)
