Library Loot

I managed to read almost nothing this week, so of course I had to go to the library to get more books. I think I forgot to post my library haul from last week, which was too bad since it was a bit excessive, what with all the extra trips due to being gone for a library day.  This time I restricted myself to the stuff I HAD to get, since the library had put books aside for me.  My hold shelf overfloweth, you know.  Also, I wanted to go down the next row of shelves for my goal of reading a book off every shelf of the library, and we needed more music in the car.  We were reduced to the radio, which sometimes plays songs I don't like!  Or commercials, even.  The horror.

Also, N needed movies.  And X needed the next Ranger's Apprentice, but he was too lazy to go so P impersonated him and picked it up.

I got a few books from the hold shelf:

• Cork and Fuzz: the Babysitters by Dori Chaconas.  Cybils Easy Reader Finalist. 
• Buffy the Vampire Omnibus I. Buffy comics.
• Simply Irresistible by Jill Shalvis.  This is what the Book Seer picked for me.
• Mouse Tales: a Behind the Scenes Look at Disneyland by David Koenig.  Because we just got back.
• If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period by Gennifer Choldenko.  From my TBR list.  I think I put it on there because of the author.
• The House on the Strand by Daphne Du Maurier.  Recommended by a dear friend. Like family.  
• The Dead Boys by Royce Buckingham.  Cybils Fantasy and Science Fiction (middle grade) finalist. I should probably offer this to my middle graders.
• All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome by Kathy Hoopman. My continuing education project.
• Flora's Very Windy Day by Jeanne Birdsall.  Cybils Fiction Picture Book finalist.
• Dinosaur Mountain: Digging Into the Jurassic Age by Deborah Kogan Ray.  Cybils Nonfiction Picture Books finalist.

And six CDs: Kidz Bop 9 (on hold), Northern Lights, Ten, Beautiful Day, Born For You, and Invictus (soundtrack). 

And nine picture books from the row of shelves.

That brings me to 81 items out on my card, from 72 last week.  With the kids' stuff I'm up to a bit more, but that's hardly my fault, and still less than my grandmother's age.  I'm off to Marg's The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader (she's this week's host)  to sign up for Library Loot.  That's where all us library lovers go to compare our hauls for the week.
