Went to Dog Eared Bookstore this morning and only picked up one book I already had - Just One Look by Harlan Coben.

I'm recovering from my house being painted and my sister in intensive care both at the same time - but I got a lot of books read: two by Sinclair Browning, Soul Patch by Reed Farrel Coleman, Who Gets the Apartment by Steven Rigolosi - all good.
