Even though I'm making a huge effort to read primarily from my own TBR stacks, I do love the library and there are a few challenges that are going to require some library check-outs. My husband and I stop by the library once a week on our lunch hour and then again on Saturday--and there are times that I just can't resist the chanting of the books over on the "New Releases" shelves...particularly the new mysteries. I also want to support my local library as much as I can. With libraries
all over the world dying a slow death and some places coming up with libraries that have no actual books--I mean, real, hold-in-your-hands, go-browse-through-the-shelves books (I'm not kidding...go HERE to see what I mean), I don't want our fabulous library to go the way of the dinosaurs. That's the long way round to tell you that, yes, I'm signing up for another challenge: Library Books Reading Challenge hosted by Book Dragon's Lair.
Reviews are not necessary, but they can be linked HERE.
I am signing up for the Middle Grades level which means I'll be reading
18 books borrowed from libraries. If you too want to sign-up, then hop on the link above. I'll list my books read below.
