Going Overboard

Guys. I think I went a little bit overboard at the library this week #understatmentoftheyear Now I understand what people mean when they say they’re afraid their reading pile is going to crush them! It’s not like they were going to disappear if I didn’t check them out of the library RIGHTAWAY but I just couldn’t [...]

Library Loot: diversity is the spice of life

No posts between last week’s library loot and this week’s, womp womp. But I’ll tell you exactly ONE reason why that is…I was too busy reading all the books I got last week in every moment of my spare time back-to-back to do much else! In fact I already started reading one of this week’s new library loot [...]

Library Loot: return from hiatus

I love cleaning out the YA section of my local libraries (I’ve done it many times before), I swear the DC/MD/VA area public libraries have AWESOME Young Adult fiction selections (kudos to the buyers in charge!) but rarely have any of the adult books on my wish list. So I did it once again…check out [...]

Library Loot: Paranormal, I wish I knew how to quit you

Dear Paranormal Romances, Urban Fantasy, YA Paranormal, and cliff hanger series of any kind – I wish I knew how to quit you. Seriously 99% of the books I see recommended on twitter and blogs are of the Paranormal/UF variety. Any time I add a book to my wish list, holds list at the library, TBR…anywhere…seems [...]

Library Loot: the one where i lied to you

I’m really sorry y’all *hanging head in shame* but I totally lied to you. Not on purpose though, I swear! I told you I couldn’t go to my library’s huge book sale. Well I lied, because I went…but only because I made it happen. That’s what I love about being a grown-up, livin life by your own [...]

Secrets, secrets, tell someone!

That’s how the expression ends, right? Don’t keep good secrets to yourself? Well I know I should keep this a secret so I can get all the best books myself, but it was really the cute graphic that pushed me over the edge. I’m not kidding, as soon as I saw this jpg I was [...]

Library Loot across genres

Going along with my recent book buying ban, I have been seriously hitting up the library for all of my lusty reading needs…well not all, they hardly have any romance novels at my libraries *harumph* So I suppose I should say, all of my NON lusty reading needs. Despite not having 90% of the romance novels on [...]

A nose for books in West Virginia

What kind of person goes on vacation in town of  less than 3,000 people in the sticks of West Virginia and still manges to find a book sale? A lusty reader with a nose for books, that’s who! I just can’t escape them, y’all! This more than made up for my super depressing experience of [...]

Library Loot: from my brand new public library!

Temperatures soared in DC this past weekend, staying in the 80s throughout the first week of October, continuing to break records, and making it hard to spend the day reading since it was so gorgeous outside. So what’s a lusty reader to do? Why, read outside of course! Not only that but it was one [...]

Money-less city living

To carry cash, or not to carry cash, that is the question when it comes to city living. This quandary put me at a HORRIBLE disadvantage at my library recently, no I didn’t have late fees, how dare you even think that *squinty eyes*, full story in a bit. But most urban dwelling folks I [...]
