This Week's Library Haul
January 17, 2009
I'm back in the "library swing of things" lately. Right now we're making it there twice a week - the older boys and I run over while Earlybird's at therapy, and then Bill takes EB on Saturday mornings. By going so often I find we are working the system more efficiently (with holds and such) and getting things back on time - thereby avoiding late fees and the resultant shame that sometimes keeps me away from the library for months at a time ...
Anyhoo, since my card and conscience are currently clear, I thought it would be fun to show you all what ended up in my library bag this week. As you can see in the photo, my mind is on herbs and healthy food these days ...
From top to bottom:

(I've wanted to read this for a while now.)

(A mystery written by a Massachusetts author - I've had my eye on it since it came out last summer. Turns out, it's a 1-week rental. Rats. There's no way I'm reading this in a week.)

In children's book news, Bookworm just finished The Magician; he'll be reading The Goblin Wood for Book Group next month (and The Hobbit after that). Crackerjack will be reading Danny, Champion of the World and then The Secret Garden in March. (I'm leading the group in March - Secret Garden is one of my favorite books of all time.) And today, Earlybird came home with Trains, Trains and ... Trains. :)

Bill just finished Twilight on audio - I gave it to him at Christmas; I figured it was time he found out what all the hubbub was about. ;) He really liked it - so much so that he had me request New Moon from the library. He's not one for reading, but he loves to listen to audiobooks while he commutes. And while he's waiting for New Moon to come in (not so patiently mind you - he has me check daily to see if it's in, lol) he has me reading a little bit of Midnight Sun to him every night. (This is a re-write of Twilight, told from Edward's perspective.) It's fun to read together at night! (And now you see why there's no way I'm finishing Lace Reader in a week ... :)

OK, enough with the book talk. No more blogging for me tonight. It's time to get these kiddoes off to bed ...
But please tell me, if you care to, what's on your library shelf this week? :)
Have a good night!
