Library Drop Off

This week I return all my library books, cancel all my holds, and ignore the fact that The Help is waiting on the hold shelf for me. We move this weekend to a town with no library. The closest library is over an hour away. The town does get a library bookmobile visit every two weeks--if the roads are clear enough. I'm about to enter a scary world where new books and libraries are not mere minutes away. I will have lots of time to start reading the books I own and have always meant to read, but something else always got in the way.

Review: Literary Hoaxes


I've been so long between books for a couple of reasons. We are in the middle of a new job/moving transition which has involved a lot of travel. And I've had a hard time being completely engrossed in any book I pick up. So I'm reading bits and pieces of lots of things right now.

I recently read Literary Hoaxes: An Eye Opening History of Famous Frauds by Melissa Katsoulis. It was certainly intriguing, especially for those who are interested in literature. But it wasn't quite as fascinating as I hoped it would be. Maybe it's just this time in my life is a blah time for reading and any book will fail to impress as much as it might in better times.
