Unfortunately, it's really starting to look like it's going to be everyone's library but mine. The room is fast filling up, and I don't think there's going to be any room left for my books. Figures. :(

a tiny glimpse of our new library
Though far from done, I just had to snap this quick picture in the library. Lucky just looked so photogenic (unfortunately, I couldn't get a good shot...but he still looks pretty cute up there).

withdrawal
I swear it feels like that's what I'm going through. Oh, okay, that's a tad melodramatic. But still. I desperately need some time to read. I can't even seem to get caught up on blog reading. I've been in a major slump lately. Not due to lack of motivation, just due to lack of time left over after all the must-dos. I've only finished one book this month. Just one.
Considering this, it probably sounds ridiculous to admit that I officially joined Lynne's I Heard It Through the Grapevine Challenge. My list. Couldn't help it. What can I say.
And I bought a book at Barnes & Noble last night. One I'd never heard of, but couldn't resist once I laid my eyes upon it. The Hollow People by Brian Keaney. Shouldn't have. Don't really need to add these teetering piles of TBRs. Again, couldn't help it. Again, what can I say.
Annie and I spent the afternoon at the library. I just love sitting in a little cubby at the library to work. Don't really know why. I was good. Only checked out books for homeschooling. The Human Lifecycle, by Rufus Bellamy. The Human Body for Every Kid, by Janice VanCleave. The Endocrine and Reproductive Systems, by Melissa L. Kim. A Nation Torn, by Delia Ray. The Trial of John Brown, by James Tackach. And The Underground Railroad in American History, by Kem Knapp Sawyer. I'm sure they will all be interesting. Yet somehow not really the pile I would have liked to haul home from the library.
An interesting side note. Annie noticed something as she was writing thank you notes for her birthday gifts. Our best friends are the Reeds and the Wrights. Read and write...how appropriate for this family. But in all these many years I never noticed it before. Kinda cool.
