Fine. I’m a Freak.

My library’s website is down. It’s going to be down until April 23rd. I’m more than a little freaked out by this. I’ve already logged in and tried to reserve things today, even though I knew it wasn’t going to let me. This morning, it just spun it’s wheels when I clicked the reserve button. [...]

I loved This Book is Overdue. I loved it more than her book about obituaries, which I liked quite a bit. I’m a fan of obituaries. And librarians. But I like librarians more. A lot more. Anyway, this is a nice look at what libraries and librarians have to offer – it isn’t JUST old [...]

Before I blog about A Spoonful of Poison I have to blog about the Glenview Public Library because we got this book from the library. Which isn’t all that surprising BUT what is surprising and interesting is that it cost us $1 to “rent” this book from the Glenview Public Library.
When we picked it [...]

Last week TW and I went to the Illinois DMV in Niles and got our Illinois drivers licenses. We had to take a damn written test. And when I say written test, I mean written – as in using a paper and pen. No computer generated tests for us here in the [...]

I am having some trouble concentrating on my work. I look up, see the bookshelves all messy and unorganized and start pondering just how to get them organized. I’ve already insisted on organization by color – but do I want to do genre and color? And should it be a mish mash [...]

Hmmm I wonder if Stephenie Meyer’s books have been challenged? If they haven’t, I’m sure it won’t be long. (Michelle is reading Slaughterhouse 5, a much challenged book.) Are you reading a banned/challenged book this week to celebrate?

I wish my library would let me peek at the hot books exactly the way Ed has shared his library’s hot books.

The Camel Bookmobile finally made it to the top of my TBR list. I’ve been looking forward to reading it for ages… even though I remember TW almost throwing it across the room after reading the last few pages.
Well. Great book. ‘Til you get to the last few pages. [...]
A cool library tool

I occasionally leave a comment on my friend (from us/them) Ed’s blog and I’ve linked him over here on various topics, including the ever popular search term “discardia”. He has linked to my posts about my bookshelves by color or my library. I often spurl things I’ve found by checking out Ed’s delicious [...]
