Will update the list after I return...
Back from the break. I walked to the fiction section, with not a little trepidation mixed with excitement. Trepidation regarding the possibility of another Jeff Abbott book (sorry Mr. Abbott), excitement about what would be waiting. This time I stuck to books that were next up on the shelves rather than adding free picks, but I picked three fiction and two from the 920's as well as two from the 921's. I also added books from the children's section.
That being said, I am reserving the right to pick and choose in that section. I do not see the Animorphs series in my future. I already have another romance (ugh) book in my bag and a second book that I am not looking for to either (I am judging by both the book and cover; it's more well rounded judgement that way).
On to the Wrap. The first checkout was a success! I had so much fun reading my library books; more than I expected even knowing how much I enjoyed reading. I read books that I might never have picked up had I not started this venture.
I have one book left of my original checkout, which I should finish tomorrow or the next day; I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope. If I finish it tomorrow I will have finished my checkout on time (crossing my fingers). At any rate, I am excited and ready to call this venture a GREAT IDEA!!

I love reading about the books that you have read, this was such an inspired idea...What I have realized is your love for reading has been contagious and that not only have I been 'willing to pick up a new book', but when I share, then they share....and epidemic of friends reading....So, my question....when do you start a book club for us all to get together once a week and 'share'....LETS DO IT... :D
You're making me excited! I'm thinking that sounds like a really good idea. Will have to ponder...
