New Library Year

I returned a satisfyingly heavy pile of books today, although I admit one was unread. I'm getting back into balance after this summer's forced march through a large chunk of my unread books, discovering that I'm not very good at reading what I've ordered myself to read, but that I'm usually right and should just read them.

I came home with five seven books. (I almost forgot about the two that my eighth grader absconded with, to my warm fuzzy joy.)

• Eternal Pleasure, Nina Bangs. The Vaginal Fantasy alternate pick, apparently about men who transform into dinosaurs and the women who love them. X says that if I like it he'll try it.
• Oracle's Moon, Thea Harrison. I think this was last month's alternate pick.
• Super Human, Michael Carroll. The next book in the Best of the Best list.
• Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters,  Lenore Look. Part of my Reading My Library Quest, which had been mostly suspended over the summer.
• Commander Perry In the Land of the Shogun, Rhoda Blumberg. I think this is the last of Perrin's suggestions.
• Foiled, Jane Yolen. From my TBR list. Already confiscated by X.
• Zita the Space Girl, Ben Hatke. The next Cybils book. Also confiscated. 

I also got two CDs, one by Robyn and one I forget.

This left me with 38 items out on my card, WAY under my age, so I can go buy a book if I want. In fact, I did -- Gone, by Michael Grant, although X probably will read it first. But I'd still like to get that number down into the twenties.

I'll go share my Library Loot at the event co-hosted by Claire from the Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader, where all the library addicts compare their treasures.
