Library Science, Year I

[thefireisblack]

After my first year, I wanted to a compile some of the key points to my program as this was definitely an improvement over my first secondary education experience. Warning this is another long post

That is a very cute tree. I thought it was a gnarled hand at first, but it has an equally creepy effect as a 'scary tree resembling a gnarled hand'. :)

I've read some of those books, too, and they never really affected me. Well, writers can't please everyone and I know that the more people who read your work, the more likely someone will stand up and say "I think this book is stupid because ___insert reason here___..." I remember some thing about Harry Potter and Catholicism. I thought "don't we have bigger things to worry about? Like poverty and war?"

After years of teasing my roommate and mother about their Harlequin (is that the series brand name thingy?) books, I couldn't face them after I read my first romance novels (at the ripe age of twenty something...-_-;;). It was those Sandra Hill books (which I actually went with for the same reason you seemed to have gone with, too; Damn you, Gambit...). I was too embarrassed to buy them at the store, so I ordered them off the internet. THEN wrapped the covers in little rice paper book covers before I read them. My brother said "congratulations, you're a big girl now".

As long as that's what people thought it was, I'm happy. I wanted tree but gnarled hand tree was perfect considering the circumstances :3

Yeah, those books aren't in the range of high hate literature and frankly, I think we should let kids decide for themselves if they hate it or not. Or maybe that's the plan to, to keep kids from thinking in future generations -_-;

So glad I'm not the only who was thinking Gambit when I read that (yes he will never leave us alone will he?) As for Harlequin, that's the mother name with a bunch of imprints under it and is sadly a Canadian company >_<; I've been reading them since 14 because there was time I was trapped in the hospital and those were the only books to read...sadly I have a slight addiction to them now...not that I will ever let someone catch me reading them. I still feel embarrassed buying them for my mother since she loves them and religously reads one a week at least.
