I wanted to share with you all my recent library book haul. You all know that I love the library and am constantly finding books to put on my hold list.

It’s National Library Week and I think you all know how much I love the library. Approximately 75% of the books I read last year were checked out from the library and I always have a hold and wait list going. But I have to confess, my love for the library was not always so great.
