Rediscovering a former passion
The library. I've rediscovered the library. The fact that I lost it boggles my mind - I could have lived there when I was younger and even went so far as to work at my local library in college.
I originally applied for a library card at my current local library when I first moved to Wisconsin, but went once or twice and that was that. Five years later, I decided to apply again. I grabbed three books (In Her Shoes, The Vine of Desire, The Unknown Errors of Our Lives) by two of my current favorite authors (Jennifer Weiner, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni).
SIDE NOTE: I didn't realize until I looked for links to the books that The Vine of Desire is the Sequel to one of my favorite books, Sister of My Heart. I can't wait to start it!! We're going to the lake on Saturday, so that should be a perfect time to get some reading done.
I also have a few more on hold: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures In the Culinary Underbelly, I Know This Much is True, The Pilot's Wife (just to see what the hype is about), and one more that I can't remember right now.
I've spent so long not really reading much of anything, it's very exciting to get back on track. I'd been reading at least one book a month for my book club, and that made me remember what I been missing out on.
