I had library books due today so my Mom and I went down to the civic center. And then, this past Sunday, we'd found out the church is giving away gently used hymnals. So we had to go to church (which is in the center of the city we live next to) so of course we also had to go to the library over there!

There's a tradition in my extended family of counting/competing in the number of books you read in a year.  This was my first year out of college and I clearly lost.  I blame the 39 fanfics I posted this year.
