Stacking The Shelves (4)


I know STS posts are supposed to be weekly occurrences, but darn it if I don't get post happy! Sorry for so many STS posts so close together, but while I am currently reading another novel, I also stopped by my library for the first time in close to 2 years. Crazy, I know!

It's just that I started back at school last year and my trips to library got less and less frequent. Between schoolwork, new friends and teachers, old friends and family, football games, pep rallies, holidays, birthdays, yada yada yada... I just stopped going, and started buying all my books. This was also around the time I discovered ARCs and such things I'm addicted to now. 

But yesterday, I was walking downtown with my friends during the 125th anniversary of our town's settlement, when I decided it was time to go back to the library.

She had to update my card and account and everything, and I don't think she recognized me until she read my name on my account, but I got to borrow some books, and that's all I wanted. Most of these, I just read the titles on them and didn't have to read the plots n the back, because I already knew I had been wanting them!



It's a little hard to see, but the books I borrowed were (besides the antiques price guides at the bottom): Neferet's Curse, The Book Thief, The Scorpio Races, The Raven Boys, Halo, Reached, and Red Glove.

The library may become a more common destination for me now, because since school has restarted, I'm a little low on funds from over the summer. 

But I'm psyched to have gotten all of these amazing novels and get to read them now! These have all been on my TBR list for a long time.
