Sad to say, the last few library books I reserved online, picked up and brought home - remained on the dining room table until the due dates (I had to read review books, you know?) when I took them back to the library. I figure the change of scenery did them good :)
You must not have been raised with "Catholic guilt" like I was. I always worry about the other people who are waiting for the library books I am hoarding. LOL
From the library this week I got
The Elephant Keeper Supreme Courtship The Children's Blizzard
I love the way that you do this post. I never thought to use that widget from Goodreads like that!!! A lot easier than doing the covers individually!! Can I steal it sometime?
I wish that I wouldn't get 6 books all on the same day because then they're all due at the same time!!!
All you have to do is CREATE a new shelf called Library LOOT, and then place each weeks Library Books on that shelf. Then go to WIDGETS and click on your LIBRARY LOOT shelf,--- it will give you the HTML info to paste in your weekly library loot post to make your shelf appear in your post.
LOL! I agree! When I get some books from the library, I love staring at them! The glossy covers, the thick size, the enticing descriptions, all until the due date comes along!
I've been thinking about libreary books and due dates as well. I've renewed a few chosen books about three times already and have still not finished them!
I think we all have the same problem. I also like to look at the books I have - the piles of TBR books and just look and look. You have a nice mix there from yr library.
Thanks for taking the time to visit and double thanks for any comments. If you ask a question in your comments, I will try to reply to it here, or by email if your settings allow me to do so. Thanks again for visiting.

ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteLOL....You sound like me, I LOVE those review books, but me own books and library books feel neglected as a result.
Nice loot! I really want to read Wench.
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested to see what you thought of the Postmistress. (when you get to it, of course)
ReplyDeleteI love Mary's idea of giving the books a change of scenery. Lol!

I have one library book due today; I guess I better hurry up and read it. Can't I just have it indefinitely???
ReplyDeleteStephanie...I agree, if no one else has holds on the books, why can't we renew them over and over again?LOL
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling. I just renewed mine online. LOL
