So far I’m not liking The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever as much as Quinn’s other works. It’s going by very quickly, but it’s not as much fun as the best of her books. In fact, I’m even noticing the bad writing, which is generally a bad sign. Too many paragraphs starting with “and” or “but”. Oh well. It’s still decent, just not as good.
And for the mini-challenge:
- What is the name of your local library? What city is it located in?
- How often do you go to the library? If you’re a regular, do the staff know you?
- Do you browse while you’re there or just pick up items you have placed on reserve?
- What is your favorite thing about your local library?
York Central Library and it’s right in the center of York, next to a museum and the medieval walls.
Maybe once a week? The staff don’t know me, but I’ve applied for a job there, so they might in future.
I browse if I have time! I haven’t been too successful there lately though. I think more people are using it as a result of the recession.
Well, honestly, free books. I love that I can get lots of non-fiction and craft books there too, which are normally more expensive than fiction, and I can justify checking out books I wouldn’t necessarily want to buy.
And, back I go! Hope it’s going well for everyone else. I’m off to check!
I love your library answers
It really is hard to want to buy books when you have no idea if you are going to like them or not.
Sorry you aren’t liking your book
blah!
You are doing great with your reading. Keep it up!!!

Sounds like you have a nice library to visit! Next to medieval walls and a museum. My library is next to the Y, which I like, but nothing that exciting! Good luck with the reading.

Good luck with getting a job at the library!
Libraries are definitely getting more use due to recession, so it’s a good time to be working at one. And of course it’s a delightful job! Thanks for sharing!

Ugh! I hate it when I realize that a book that I wanted to read is actually poorly written. It’s such an infuriating bummer.
Happy reading!
