My weekly confession:

I have tendency to not put my book down no matter what it is I'm doing other than driving.I know most of you are the same way: once we get into the book, we don't want to stop no matter what. So one of the crazy( not necessarily the craziest) things I do is when I go shopping at Wal-Mart. Just about every time I go there it takes me hours to finish my shopping. Not because there is that much that I have to buy, but because I'm bent over the buggy reading my tablet. I'll walk and read, and miss half the stuff I'm after then have to go back for it, and the whole time I'm there I'm reading. I know I get funny looks and stares but I'm usually so engrossed in the story that I don't notice and honestly it doesn't bother me. They just don't understand. 

My answer to the weekly question:
How far have you gone for your favorite author?

My towns' library is really small, as are the rest of the connected libraries in the county, and it takes them a while to get in a lot of new books. The neat thing is, that they also have an online library with a much larger selection of e-books, but it still takes them a while to get in the new titles. My library has forms you fill out where you can request books for them to order for the next shipment.  Well when I discovered Jennifer Armentrout's Lux series, I filled out a million of those bad boys between the online and downtown libraries. Sadly my physical library didn't get them but the online one did so it all worked out. So not all that exciting or extreme but hey I showed dedication.

  1. I've had the same thing. My city's library isn't too bad, but it's missing a lot of books. So I have to send out a request to other libraries across the state to get the books I want.

    1. My library is getting better about having more YA books since I've started requesting stuff like crazy lol. The sad thing is not many people in my town actually use the library for the books, they just want the free internet and computer usage.
