I haven't bought any books lately - I am definitely making use of the library though!!

I noticed your reference to the Chico library. I was born in Yuba City and my dad's family has been in Gridley for generations. I just wanted to say "hi" :)

Definitely a small world. I definitely agree with you about Vacaville - it is nice to be close to other cities, but Vacaville itself isn't particularly exciting - LOL. It's sort of a stuck-in-the-middle kind of place.

I live in San Jose now - I moved here for school and then stayed because the job market is pretty good here and I am still close to family.

When I was a kid my family moved to the Ventura area - we lived in Santa Paula for about 4 years. Then we moved to Santa Cruz.

Hi Lucy and Teri,


We've definitely gotten off the topic of Recent Book Buys and gone into the Small World Isn't It? category, but I have to add one more small worldism.
