Happy
Saturday everyone! I'm at work today... so I'm surrounded by books and
focusing on books and not actually reading any books. #LibrarianLife
;)
This past week I got two brand new books: Crucial Conversations (from a training that I attended at work) and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel
(from a used book sale). I've already read the graphic novel and it's
fantastic. I highly recommend this really unique trilogy in either
traditional or graphic novel format!
Then,
as per usual, I brought home a boatload of books from the library. One
of them is from my school's library, which is pretty neat. You see,
I'm attending a college that is about two hours' drive away from my home
via online distance learning. To check out a book, I simply filled out
an online request form and they mailed it to me! Sweet. It's for a
group project, but it's turned out to actually be a really good book: Giving Our Children a Fighting Chance.
And
since I'm back in the thick of things school-wise, I've been
downloading some pretty easy listening audiobooks from my library for my
commute: the Encyclopedia Brown series by Donald J. Sobol! Do y'all
remember these from when you were a kid? I'm happy to report that I can
figure out the solution about 75% of the time. And I'm going to
attribute the other 25% to not paying close attention to the story while
paying close attention to the road. ;)
For
fun, I checked out two books of crochet patterns from the library, but I
haven't had time to make anything from them. One was just so odd that I
couldn't resist grabbing: Animal Heads
by Vanessa Mooncie, about how to crochet faux trophy heads to hang in
your house. The other would be useful, if I ever had time to crochet
anymore: Crochet One-Skein Wonders for Babies.
And finally, I also checked out Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly and Together is Better
by Simon Sinek at the recommendation of library patrons. Being in the
middle of a semester means I may or may not have time to read them,
though.
And you? What did you bring home this week? Leave your link below to join the fun!
