A little secret about me ⌠one of my love languages is books. I am being totally serious. I absolutely LOVE books. Always have. I am an avid reader and a voracious learner, and I can never seem to read enough books.
Â
In fact, I found myself the other day, when I dropped off an Amazon return to UPS, stopping into Half Price Books on Anderson Mill...
