A Reader’s Week

Last Sunday, I once again broke my personal library rule.

Instead of 100 items, I checked out 115.

But really, can you blame me?

When books call your name…and don’t cost money…

Well, I couldn’t resist.

And really, considering my personal appetite for books…

Take this week, for instance.

Since my library visit last Sunday (six days ago), I have read…

…9 children’s picture books

…Do the Doors Open by Magic? by Catherine Ripley

…Health magazine, April 2011 issue

…Bones and the Dinosaur Mystery by David Adler

…Yo! I know: Brain Building Quizzes by Times for Kids

…I’ll Mature When I’m dead by Dave Barry

…A Wodehouse Bestiary

…Return to Harmony by Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn

…Firegirl by Tony Abbott

…The Secret of the Lost Tunnel by Franklin Dixon

I also listened to 7 compact discs ranging from Kanye West (yuck) to Harry Nillson (mostly enjoyable except for the one song that included the f-word–why?!?) to Favorite TV theme songs.

And I started a few additional books…

…Christianity: A Follower’s Guide edited by Pete Briscoe

…C.S. Lewis: Writer, Dreamer, and Mentor by Lionel Ady

…Thrive by Dan Buettner

…K.I.S.S Guide to Photography

I’m not sure if I could really call this a typical reading week for me–but it’s definitely not atypical.

Also, because I’m a nerd and way too interested in my own reading statistics, I’ve determined that with 25 of my 115 items already consumed and four in progress, I’m well on my way to reading every item I’ve checked out. (Over 1/5 of the way done with five more weeks to go until everything has to go back.)
