Day 2905 – Library Adventures

Posted on by

One thing I’m trying to make time for in my life is fun and following my heart. I had a random urge to find a whole stack of books by the same author. I did some searching last night, and mapped out my plan. I ended up visiting 3 libraries today. All within 10-15 minutes of our apartment. It brought me so much joy to spend so much time around books today. I have absolutely NO shame in admitting I currently have 92 items checked out of the library. Ahhhh, so many books. I realized while driving around that it gave me the opportunity to follow two of my passions – books and travel. Even though I only spent about 30-60 minutes in the car, I still felt the joy of travel. It was a great reminder that you can still do the things you love with a low budget, and little time. I even came up with a new fun project….but I’m going to save that for another day. 🙂

What fun things do you do to enjoy your joys?

And if you’re wondering what 92 items look like, here you go…..well, actually 90….I have one ebook checked out and I THINK one item unaccounted for…..eeeek! But I will say, in all my years of having lots of books out, I’ve only had a couple of bucks in fees.

EDIT: The missing book was hiding in my backpack! Whew!

Day 2808 – Today’s Library Haul

I got a great stack today! Last night, I finished After The End and had NO idea it ended on a cliffhanger! Ugh! The worst part was that the next book was just chilling at my local library! In preparing to pick it up today, I did a quick scan of my Goodreads to be read fiction shelf and found a few other books to read. I learned from my past mistake and made sure I got all three of The Passage series. I have a few others I’ve been meaning to read for a while. Can’t wait to jump into these books.

What’s in your current to be read pile? Let me know in the comments below!

Day 2283 – A New Date Location – No Talking Required

Today I took Bret to one of my new favorite libraries. Can I say how much I LOVE living in Howard County and their library system? AH! Beautiful libraries and amazing resources online (lynda.com included as a library perk, WHAT?!) Love, love, love.

After lunch, I suggested we go to the library so that I could work and he could do some reading of our study bible. Can I also say how much I love that my husband loves reading God’s word?

So we set up at a table and next thing I know, we’ve been there over two hours, stayed until they closed and barely said anything to each other. It was glorious. 🙂 Both of us get a lot done at the library, apparently. It was fun showing him how cool it was and that he was excited about it too. 🙂 Ladies and gentlemen, we have found our new date location.
