Strict Discipline on Library Day

That's what I'm all about!  Unfortunately, I'm not so much with the discipline during the week while merrily ordering up books on hold, so I think I've slipped a bit from my age goal.  Maybe my goal should be to have fewer items than my mother's age...

I put things on hold either because I see them and want to read them, or because of a challenge or list that I am happily working my way along.  Of course, many of my challenges I am trying to complete by serendipity, so I can't really blame them for my selections.  For challenges, I got:

• Ants, by Melissa Stewart.  Another Cybils book.
• Chalk, by Bill Thomson.  Cybils picture book.

Then there were four more books on my hold shelf:

• Sammy Keyes and the Wedding Crasher, by Van Draanen.  I like these kidlit mysteries.
• Queen's Play, by Dunnett.  The next Lymond book.  I'm hooked!
• The Man Handler, by Cairo.  I saw it on a list of challenged books, so I ordered it in solidarity.  I think I see the challenger's point about the porn, now that I see the book.
• The Folk Keeper, by Billingsley, because bookshelves of doom recommended it.

And I let A pick 4 CDs while I retrieved Kidz Bop #7.  I'm proud to say I recognized at least two songs.

So, the library says I now have 53 things checked out.  Which is still over my age, dang nab it.  Maybe I should move to Venus.  Library Loot this week is at The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader, and I'm off to sign up and see what everyone else got.
