Spring and reading
I’ve been wanting a good book to read, as this spring has been a little chilly yet for my tastes. Even if it was warm, I would be looking for a good book. I like to read no matter the weather.
I’ve got a few humor books on reserve at the library, but they won’t be in for awhile. I’m also 39 on the list for Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef
I also ordered Please Look After Mom
It is a real art form to get on the library list early and to have a steady flow of books. An art form I just haven’t quite mastered. But, once and awhile, I do get on it. I’m on the list for Dreams of Joy: A Novel by Lisa See, which is still on order from the publisher. I find that she is one of my favorite authors. I missed reading Shanghai Girls: A Novel. I understand that Dreams of Joy is a sequel of Shanghai Girls. Well, I just ordered Shanghai Girls. Now, to see if I can get it from the library and read it before Dreams of Joy comes in. That will show that I am at least a little versed in controlling the library list. Sometimes the library throws a kink in the waiting game, because at my library you can never tell how many copies they have in circulation. So, lots of times I get way too many books to read all at once, or I have no books to read at all. Right now, I have a book out that does not appeal to me much. But the beauty of getting books from the library is that I don’t feel compelled to finish it just because I spent money on it.
