Who has a book which they read because its a challenge? That they could put down and quite happily not go back to it, but a little voice says 'go on, read me!'?
I'm reading that type of book right now. The story is interesting (sort of), and I've tried to read it several times in the past. I'm half way through. It'll be great when I finish! It's not an edge of the seat type of read (not for me), but elements of it are really cool. And, once I finish, I can tackle the rest of my library books! Which will need renewing because I'm taking so long to read this mammoth work.

Do you know your library?
I thought I did. I was wrong.
I didn't know the opening times.
I do have & did have their number on my mobile phone.
I knew I could take books out, and return them. And pay a fine when they're late.
I didn't know I could reserve books online. Or create a list (only for 48 hours), then send that list to my email account, or save it to disk. Have done it for the first agent I wish to query.
So far it looks as though some of my work would fit into their genre. They are a large agency so my different genres would fit in well if I could nab one...
I can reserve books online, choose where to collect them up.
I love my library!
So, how well do you know your library?

Book! Book! Book!
Grr to blogger for deleting my first attempt at this.
I'm getting a book in the post! Call for excitement cos the 3rd in the trilogy by Maria Snyder
(Poison Study, Magic Study, Fire Study) wasn't due to be released over her til 16th Jan. But, I got an email from amazon saying that my order had been dispatched. Considering I haven't ordered anything recently, I was thinking 'what order?' I checked, squealed and much goodness follows!
So...I'm now going to read the previous two again so I'm all caught up. Even though I remember most of it, its funny and a good read.
Yayness!
I love editing too, which I think I've already blogged about. But that's what I'm doing tomorrow afternoon until the 1st (and writing...cos....
I FOUND MY USB STICK!
My week is off to a good start. How's yours?
