May I recommend The library Oh, this is a surprise, Amy. A woman whose glasses’ prescription is so high she can’t read the big E on the eye charts; a woman who owns 9 different cardigans; a woman who read the encyclopedia for fun as a kid… That woman likes libraries? Quel shock extraordinaire!
Yes to the library. The best of who we are as a society. Yes to both online borrowing and curb-side pick up, which I toggle off one another in order to get every single book in every series I am currently reading. (Not in order though; that's an issue.) It is all unfortunately too easy. I worry about somebody (somebodies) someday actually tracking what I am actually reading. Especially since I have discovered that Romance is nearly as fun as Mystery. (And yes, you can tell a book by its cover.) But that's okay. Sci-fi never used to be respectable and now it is, especially when you call it speculative fiction. Romance will soon be fine, especially if we call it Historical Fiction. My main worry is that after 18 hours a day blissfully glued to the printed or electronic word I have double vision at any distance beyond 10 feet. Yikes. Advice, please.
I actually just put myself on a waitlist for my first library book in years. I'm baaaaack
