Who checks out just one book at a time? The Known World, La Vida Vampire, Empire Falls, Louisa May Alcott by Reisen, The Light Between Oceans, Little Princes and Competency Based Interviews are all from the library and on my currently reading shelf!
Compulsion by Allison Brennan just returned some yesterday and picked it up.
I just checked out nonfic Likeable Social Media and nonfic Ricky Lauren's The Hamptons. I lived in NYC for a year back in my 20s. Anyone who has spent a summer in NYC understands the allure of the Hamptons. I'm excited to chill with this big coffee table book!
Yeah, I do not tend to check out only one at a time. I have out right now, Nearly Departed in Deadwood, Out of Circulation, and Privy to the Dead. Two, I just finished, and the other just starting.No fines, as my library does not have any...but, they are not overdue. As a matter of fact, I made sure I had one of them done as it has a reserve on it and someone is waiting to read it after me.
I also tend to check out books in groups. I took five with me on a family vacation. Primarily, I get a lot of books recommended to me by friends who know my preferred genres, but I am a tough customer when it comes to books. Typically I'll open a book & decide if I can stomach it within the first two paragraphs. Lately the authors I couldn't put down are Neil Gaiman, and Ransom Riggs, but growing up as a child it was always Ray Bradbury. I think Neil Gaiman is my new Ray. This week I read The Graveyard Book, and started M is for Magic. Both intended for high school age children, but there is still a bit of child in me. So, I checked out five & will read 2 & take the others back without reading beyond the first page so I'll leave them unnamed.
