Comment on my new BFF

So I have always referred to myself as One Who Loves To Read. I remember my mom taking us to various libaries wherever we've lived and I would always get huge stacks of books, run home and read them as fast as I could. More than once I remember my mom saying that I'd read them faster than we could get back to the library. I could spend hours on end in the library. It's so peaceful. It was like a church to me.

Unfortunately I got out of the habit of going to the city library when I was in nursing school. I spent lots of time at ISU's library studying, but that's not fun reading. And then I moved down here and I was spending way too much time reading the Twilight series to concentrate on anything else.

But this is the dawn of a new year, and today is a new day and all that jazz, and I finally went and got a library card at the Draper library. It was like getting reaquainted with an old friend that I haven't seen for a really long time. I now have 5 books (the max I could get my first visit) checked out that I'm just itching to read (see pic above). I have 9 books on hold (that's all they'd let me do-sad!), and 21 books on my list of what I want to read. I finally had to stop searching books so that I could give my eyes a rest. I may need to get back to wearing glasses. I am so glad to be back in a library and to be able to have this whole wealth of new books to read. By the way if you noticed that I have 'the other Boleyn girl' on my stack of books, and if you remember me swearing to never read it, my blog-stalker told me that it's actually really good and intriguing and non-creepy so I'm all over it. And if any of you readers out there have some books to recommend I welcome the recommendations! (I just don't like books with lots of swearing.)

Yea Books! Yea Libraries! Yea for days off to read!
