An Introvert's World of Books discussion

I have no idea what got into me but I have been signing up for a dozen virtual book events hosted by libraries from Maryland (where I am), Missouri (where I was), and other states (where I've never been). And I have looked into Book Festivals in my area. I can't believe I have already read 6 books this month- a personal best.

I stayed up until 2 AM to finish a mystery book that ended on a cliffhanger!! That was a bite in the ass. However; I recommend The Lost Boys by Faye Kellerman. Keep in mind this is book #26 out of 27. It worked as a stand alone but the characters have a back story that I want to know. Instead of going back to #1 I will be reading #27.

I'm in book heaven!! I have been waiting over a month for library books to finally be my turn! An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us and The Lindbergh Nanny are in my hands!!!! Of course I am reading a book I can't put down; A Bridge Across the Ocean. It's like Christmas Morning!

Wow!!! Six books in one month is a lot!!! So happy for you as I remember before you found it hard as you were so tired. How are you doing now? It sounds much better! <3 What a great idea for libraries to host virtual book events and a Book Festival!!! Sign me up! :)

I went to the library to pick up a book on hold that I don't have time to read because my book stack is already about to topple over. I was like a kid in a candy store. I added 5 more books to my pile. I will be so busy for a while.

I do the same thing every month, wanting to read books from the groups I am in here on Goodreads. Too many books for each month, but I still like to think I can read them all!!! I can dream!!! ;

HAHA It just felt so satisfying filling up my arms and getting the long receipt.

That's the best part! FREE. Especially since driving and working are not possible, the library is my only option.

FREE is awesome!!! And if I read a book that I love and know I will reread, then I might purchase the book from a shop. :)

That's what I plan to do. I've got very minimal space living with my parents and not able to work, so funds also limit me. I intend to get better and return to my life eventually. Moving with boxes and boxes of books is a pain even though I love living in a personal library. It's tough to choose between practical and cozy.

I understand about limited funds; books can be very expensive! And you will get better! <3 :) Try to have both practical and cozy! :)
