New On My Bookcase (Vol. 2)

Nope, you’re not imagining things. It was only last week that I posted about the new books I’d brought home from the library. I go every three weeks, because that’s how long the checkout period is. I...

New on My Bookcase (vol. 3)

I went on a bit of a binge about putting books on hold, and a number of my longer-term holds came in, so my stack on the holds shelf was ENORMOUS. Ridiculously so in fact – one entire library shelf was...

Last weekend was library day, and I had 23 books on hold, waiting for me. That’s enough books to fill up my own holds shelf! That’s also so many books that I’m going to share the books I brought home...

New on My Bookcase (vol. 9)

Not my usual gargantuan library haul, because this was a quick pre-traveling pickup and drop-off of expiring books. I didn’t even do the massive checkout of materials for traveling that I usually do,...

New on My Bookcase (vol. 11)

The latest library books I brought home. Once again I’ve gone really heavy on the nonfiction. Really, I do read fiction too, it’s just hard to tell sometimes based on what I’ve been bringing home from...

New on My Bookcase (vol. 12)

New on My Bookcase (vol. 13)

Another big batch of library books this visit (I also brought home several kids’ books, I just don’t include them in the photo or post). I always know it’s a big visit when I can’t fit all of my books...

New on My Bookcase (vol. 15)

Usually my library visits are every three weeks. This time it was only two weeks in between trips, because of a book that had finally arrived at my library. I was first in the holds line, and if I’d...

New on My Bookcase (vol. 16)

New on My Bookcase: Vol. 17

For whatever reason, I’m not as excited about this latest batch of books I picked up from the library. Maybe I’m just still in a post-vacation slump, but whatever the cause I hope to snap out of it...
