In the interest of economy, I’ve recently renewed my library card. I’d forgotten what a wonderful resource the public library is – I can get nearly any new book I’d like to read, delivered to my local branch in about a week. All for free! I’m reading a wider variety of books now – I’m more likely to check something out that I wouldn’t necessarily purchase. It’s a great way to try before you buy. There are a few books that I’ve read lately that I’d ultimately like to add to my home library collection (those are listed in bold below).
