In my time off, I’ve been reading a lot but because I didn’t think I was getting paychecks anytime soon, I’ve rediscovered what a treasure the local library is. Currently I’m reading Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby. If you haven’t read any of their books, I highly recommend you do. She writes in the style I love and hope to create myself. A girl can dream.

Do you want to see what I got at yesterday’s library haul?

My last haul was just as good:

I was never the person who went to the public library. Don’t get me wrong, I always saw the value in them, but I collect books. Lots and lots of books. I need a whole lot more bookshelves for all these books. In fact, it never really dawned on me to read a book without keeping it. I have some that are almost 40 years old on my shelves. Some are classics, some are favorites, and some are like Rock Star by Jackie Collins (which I must admit I enjoyed all those years ago). Could I give away or sell some of the books? Well bless your heart for asking that question.

Note: I actually do still have a library book I took out in high school. It’s a collection of Emily Dickinson poems. It’s pink. Please don’t tell anyone because I probably can’t afford the 35+ year late fee.

To eRead or not to eRead

For a while I was into eBooks. They’re really great for reading in bed when your partner goes to sleep early and the light keeps them up.

But you know what you can’t do with eBooks? You can’t admire them. I mean you can, but seeing the covers on an eReader just isn’t the same.

Is listening to audiobooks really reading?

Yes. Period.

I’m currently listening to Cunk on Everything, narrated by Philomena Cunk herself. While I’m not finding it as great as Cunk in Earth because the interviews were amazing, I still highly recommend it.
