Library Loot: April 2010

April 22, 2010

Today I stopped in to my local library to return a book (unread) that was due. I’ve been a rather lax library patron for the last several months, but I want to get back into borrowing, rather than buying, books. So, I picked up three literary fiction books that have been on my list for [...]

I was zero for three on my my last batch of library books. So, I went to the library yesterday to just look. And, of course, I came home with four books. Luckily, most of them are for challenges, and I managed to read The Midwife’s Apprentice last night before bed. Here’s my loot from [...]
