Ah, the ebb and flow of library usage: some weeks the big bag doesn’t even hold all the books. Other weeks, you come away with a teeny-tiny amount because you know if you bring home more books, then you won’t have any more room on the dresser.
And because your daughter just bought Catching Fire, and you know exactly what you’re reading next.

For me:
My Life in Pink & Green, by Lisa Greenwald
Great Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe (Enriched Classics) — so I walk into the library, and discover that this year’s Big Read is Edgar Allen Poe. I figured what the heck: I haven’t read Poe in years, and it’d be perfect for RIP IV!
The roundup is either at Reading Adventures or A Striped Armchair.
*Ones that M eventually read.
**Picture books we really liked.
The Book Nut 
Hope M enjoys Nothing but Ghosts.
I'll be interested to hear what you think of Pink and Green. I've seen it around but haven't picked it up. Would be interested in feedback first. 🙂
And I don't do many picture books but I do love Chester!

Next week will definitley be a low water mark for me! 🙂 Poe's not my favourite short story writer, but I love his poetry!

After I did my LL post, my library called me to let me know some more holds arrived and one of the books is Catching Fire! I've got Nothing But Ghosts on my TBR pile.

I love getting stacks and stacks of books from the library, but sometimes, it's nice to just take a (small) break from the huge numbers!

I haven't ever read any Poe! Not sure that I really have any great desire to either!
