I came home with two bags full of books from the Jewish Community Center's used book sale in February 2015.  I got one very, very full bag of books in February 2017.  I brought home another bagful of books in August 2017.  Today, I took Sheila and Marilyn to the JCC's book fair and managed to get 26 books into the bag they supply for the last day of the sale, the day we can fill a bag for five dollars.  Several of them are thin books, but as you can see, I bagged "two dozen books ~ plus two" this time.
