Library Visit

Have I ever said how much I love the library system in Pittsburgh, PA?

I LOVE to buy books! I love to gaze at my book shelves and ponder all the beautiful stories contained within their covers. But I don't have unlimited resources, either in money or space. Therefore, I've increased my borrowing habits from the library.

I use to live in Oakland, the neighborhood in Pittsburgh where the University of Pittsburgh is located. Oakland is also home of the main library for Pittsburgh. It's a massive, beautiful building that is also connected to the Pittsburgh Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Art.

Since I've graduated, my husband and I have moved out of Oakland but still live in Pittsburgh. There is a very small branch just up the hill from where we live now. It may be up a steep hill and it may be closed two days a week, but the service is just as great. I requested two books online mid-day last Friday. The library was closed Sunday and Monday and my books were still in bright and early this morning!

While I was in there, I glanced at the display of new books and there was another book I wanted to read! Even at the little branch campus!

The books I picked up today are:

The Friday Night Knitting Club by Katie Jacobs

Blood, Bones, & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton

Reign of Madness by Lynn Cullen

Any suggestions on which book I should start first?

Library Visit

In preparation for the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon, I was requesting books online through my library so I would have a couple books to choose from throughout the day.

I may have gotten carried away and requested quite a few, some of which had some holds already on it so I thought it would take awhile for me to get them.

Well, I went to go pick up the 6 books which were listed in my email that they were ready to pick up. I get there, and there's 10! Add that to the two I got late last week, and I have 12 books from the library!

Whew! That's a lot of new books floating around my apartment calling out for my attention!

Any recommendations for what I should start first??
