Phew! I had images of your library bursting at the seams with all the books you're returning ;)

[Pragya]

jaxnsmom, what do you exactly do with 36 books at a time??!!!

Hi Kelly! Welcome to our group. Give us a shout if you have any questions. :)

[Susan]

Wow! You've got me beat. I usually have 8-9 books out at once.

My bet is she builds a fort.

[Janice, Moderator]

Will she be fortified then?

[jaxnsmom]

Oh, this $^()@^#$ computer. I wrote a message and posted it, but I guess it didn't post.

I put them in piles and shuffle them, trying to decide what to read, why do I have so many books, why do I keep doing this... ☺ Then I use some to cover my bed so Callie won't dig up the covers while making herself comfy.

[Janice, Moderator]

I have trouble shuffling a deck of cards, let alone a pile of books.

Don't you hate that when cyberspace eats your messages?

Janice wrote: "Will she be fortified then?"

Very!

My other guess was that she puts them into piles, commandeers a puppy to lie on them all so she can get interesting profile pictures.

I must be feeling ambitious because I brought home a couple of tomes today: Matterhorn and Underworld. Jumped into Matterhorn this afternoon.

I just purchased at a library sale! I have no idea when I will get to it! WAY TOO MANY BOOKS!!! You will have to let me know when you start to read it.

[jaxnsmom]

You really are ambitious with those two chunksters! I listened to Matterhorn and it is one of the best books I've ever heard!

If it does, I have to get back to the library to get more books so I'll have a full deck! LOL

[Janice, Moderator]

Judy wrote: "Does a stack of books plus shuffling create book solitaire?"

If so, it should be entered into the Guiness Book of World Records.

[jaxnsmom]

Judy wrote: "Are you saying you weren't operating with a full deck?"

I'd like to think I am, but I don't know anyone who would agree with me. I suppose I play with the Jokers more than the other cards. ☺

[Kimberly]

So I got these at the library today:

and for a re-read I borrowed

I enjoyed this book. I gave it 4 stars. I didn't know anything about Schindlers List and how it was associated with Nazi Germany before I read the book. I felt it was very summarised though and could have had more detail.

I did actually put more books on hold after. About the book. I only gave it 2 stars(maybe I am too harsh). It was a bit slow in sections. I have heard that the next book is better though. If the next book isn't better, I probably won't end up finishing the series.

[Snoozie Suzie]

Doobedoobedoo it's library day tomorrow, and I'm going to a different library. Lalalala *happy dances like a loon*

Do you have a picture of that Suzie? :P

It's library day for me tomorrow too!

[Janice, Moderator]

Yeah, I want to see the doobedobedoo happy loon dance, too. I just do a plain happy dance.

[Snoozie Suzie]

Came home with The Persimmon Tree
And picked up two holds
A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table
The Shadowy Horses

[Snoozie Suzie]

Sorry no pics of the loon dance!! It's probably much better in your heads anyway

[Janice, Moderator]

Finally! My copy of The Maid and the Queen: The Secret History of Joan of Arc came in and I picked it up at the libary at noon. While I was there, I was told that my library membership has been extended to April 2014 because of my participation in the Adult Summer Reading Program. Yeah!!

[Snoozie Suzie]

Hurrah for extended library Janice!

AmyK wrote: "Do you have to pay for your library membership Janice?"

Yes. City residents pay $7.50 a year. Until I moved into the city back in April, I would have had to pay $40.00 a year. It all has to do with municipal funding.

[AmyK]

Ours have always been free in Oregon. After i asked the question i looked up Edmonton's library to look at the cost since we are moving there next summer. Interesting differences. $40 a year is a lot.......still worth it though depending on what the library system offers.

[Janice, Moderator]

Hey! We'll be neighbors... almost. I'm northwest of Edmonton. It's about a 5 hour drive.

Lol jaxnsmom. I love your version more.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I agree. The bottom one looks much more fun!

[Janice, Moderator]

Dang! Does that mean that we moderators are going to have to come up with iconic images? Who started this?

[Rusalka, Moderator]

*whistles innocently and shuffles feet*

To be fair 1. I wasn't a mod, and 2. I didn't know it would be so well received! I thought I be quietly humoured and then whispered about when I left the room.

[Pragya]

Lol Janice and Rusalka. :D

[Kimberly]

I went to the library and brought home:
and (The audiobook)

[Kimberly]

It's really good! I have the one that's narrated by Avery Brooks. Not sure if you were a fan of Deep Space Nine but he played captain Sisko on that. I'm really impressed with it. It's one of my favourite books I've read it about 10 times since I was 13. I saw it by chance at the library and had to grab it so I could burn it to my laptop.

[Kimberly]

I went to the library and picked up these holds: (a re-read) and

Have I mentioned how glad I am to be using the library again?!

[Kimberly]

And while I was there I wandered into the teen section and one thing led to another and these books hopped in my bag to come home with me:

It's funny how inanimate objects can just hop into your bag! ;)

I'm reading Matched right now - I started with pretty low expectations but it certainly has some interesting ideas - it all depends what you want out of it I guess!

And I loved [book:Anna Dressed in Blood|9378297] - it's perfect Halloween reading :)
