*booming voice* LIBRARY BOOK CHALLENGGGGGGE!
So I did something supremely silly, but supremely satisfying today.
I went to the library. Well, ok, I admit it, I went to three libraries.
I started at the main one - took some books back, and I was specifically looking for the rest of the Maximum Ride series. I even checked online first to make sure they had them in at that particular library before I went.
Welllll, anyone who knows me will tell you, it is nearly physically impossible for me to exit a library with less than a stack of books. Therefore I got a weeeeee bit distracted in the YA section. This led (eventually) to me hunting down some of the Scott Westerfeld books I haven't read, which unfortunately, were in at other libraries (not that far away), but not the library I was currently visiting.
Then I figured, what the heck. They're close by, they're both basically on the way home, and I KNOW they have the books in.
So, here is the (ridiculous) list of books I ended up bringing home:
So, yeah. Insane.
The challenge is, will I manage to get all these read before they are due? Really, I figure I will have to renew some of them but the TRUE goal is to remember to do so, and not have to pay any fines. :p
I am soooo excited about most of these that it's hard to know where to start! I also have to read the following soon:
So, we'll see. :D
