Book Haul (Library Edition): May 25, 2013

Second visit to the library this month. This time, I really could've used Matilda's wagon.

In my last library haul, I checked out 8 books and was able to finish 5 of them in three weeks. I found it was especially difficult because I also have purchased books that I want to get to as well. This faces me with the dilemma of library due dates versus what I actually feel like reading.

I recently went back to the library and checked out 15 books (plus 1 e-book and 1 dvd).

As I walked out of the library with my plastic bad loaded to full capacity, and several books in arms, I realized I have reached the highest level of book hoarding. There is no way I can finish all 15 (in addition to the ones I renewed from the last haul) in 3 weeks. But I'll admit, when I unloaded the bag on my bedroom floor and spread them all out, I was filled with great zeal at all my choices. I really got a great selection this time and it's going to be so much fun getting to decide which ones get read first.

I'm going to start this haul by including what I renewed/returned from my last book haul.

Renewed:

Maureen Johnson's 13 Little Blue Envelopes
Sarah Dessen's The Truth About Forever

Returned (unread):

Maureen Johnson's The Last Little Blue Envelope

My main reason for returning this one is because I have yet to read its predecessor, 13 Little Blue Envelopes. I figured I'd borrow it again once at least finish its predecessor first.

New batch:  

Top Row:
Thirteen Reasons Why, How to Save A Life, Where Things Come Back, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, Boy Meets Boy

Middle Row:
A Natural History of Dragons, This Is What Happy Looks Like, Night, How To Train Your Dragon, The Realms of Possibility

Bottom Row:
Fables Vol. 1, The Happiness Project, Gone Girl, 17 & Gone, Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone (just realized the last 3 all have "Gone" in the title)

(I apologize for the glare. Library books almost always have protective coats which are very reflective when you take photos in well-lit rooms.)

Even though its slightly overwhelming having to choose which books to read and which ones to wait on at the risk of not being able to renew, I love the challenge. But that's just the book-lover in me. <3
