I max out my 20 books loan most of the time, if that's not enough, my son's card is used for some of my books. :( and then I borrow books from Westminster Library where I work on hard to find books, so that makes it about 20-ish library book and I tried to keep it down, 3 weeks ago I managed to keep down to less than 10 and then paid a trip to the Central library and put the count back up to 20-ish! ... :( My library is across the road. I don't blame you Sam, what you have picked up there are amazing read. I want to read Baba Yaga. I have read Thousand Splendid Sun and Penelopiad. They are good.JoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198686058988769659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-55835452555194785972012-04-29T17:01:35.168+01:002012-04-29T17:01:35.168+01:00Just be happy you have access to a library.

You have some fabulous books there. I adored Perks of Being a Wallflower when I read it many years ago. I also enjoyed Baba Segi's Wives from last year's Orange longlist. I'm planning to read Island of Wings soon too, and I've been meaning to read Michelle Moran for years. I hope you enjoy all of those!nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-76863616932547987092012-04-29T10:31:06.699+01:002012-04-29T10:31:06.699+01:00Thanks for the link to Madame Tussaud, you've ...Thanks for the link to Madame Tussaud, you've really made me want to read it :)Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-49176591813073327942012-04-29T10:30:42.887+01:002012-04-29T10:30:42.887+01:00I think my problem is that my local library is exc...I think my problem is that my local library is excellent and only a five minute walk away from home - how am I supposed to resist temptation?<br /><br />Good luck reading all you can before renovations!Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-2880867889122401552012-04-29T10:29:54.794+01:002012-04-29T10:29:54.794+01:00I'm glad I'm not the only one Jo!

Let me know how it is!<br /><br />I don't use the library as often as I should, which is sad considering that I'm studying to be a librarian. I just have so many books of my own that I end up getting distracted by. I like Friends of the Library book sales, because they support the library but don't limit my reading to a specific timetable. One thing I do like about my local library is that you can renew online for a certain amount of time if there isn't a wait list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-27478862538158145142012-04-27T16:07:52.338+01:002012-04-27T16:07:52.338+01:00Oh, Sam, I do this all the time!!
