Library Shelf #1

Tierney Creates gives you a view of the books she got from the library and I thought I might do the same. Let me tell you first that I find that it is risky to tell you what I have, because then you might request it from the library and I won't be able to renew it if you are waiting for it.  I thought that maybe I could show you a stack of books I am returning, and then I won't have that problem, but that would be too hard for me to keep up, so you will just have to promise me not to ask my library for the book until I am finished with it.

I will review some of these books at a future date.

I am excited about this stack because I spent the day at the library on Saturday for a genealogy conference.  They had all these genealogy books ready for us to check out, but I was more excited about the quilting books I hadn't seen and grabbed as many as I could carry. This shelf in my house is reserved for library books.

No other books are allowed here so I don't return any of my own books. No, I can't carry all the books on that shelf; some of these books were already on my book shelf. We are allowed to check out 50 books at a time. There are books on cooking, psychology, art, and of course quilting. Most of the children's books have been returned. I got them for the pictures so I could practice drawing but I didn't get around to that before the books had to be returned.

The other exciting about this shelf is the shelf underneath the one you can see.  There is half a shelf full of books I got this year at library sales, at less than $2 a book. Most of those are quilting books, which I thought was bad news because maybe they are buying fewer quilting books, but the shelves at the main library was promising.

There is a big library book sale this weekend, but I should probably avoid it.
