Laura Radniecki - I am OBSESSED with my local library! In today's world where nearly nothing is free anymore, I'm still amazed that there are thousands of books at my fingertips that I can read for free!! I have a system like you where I request the books I want to read and pick them up off the hold shelf. I also love that my library will buy almost any book that is suggested to them. So if my library or other local libraries in the system don't have a book I want to read, I can request it and they'll buy it. I've read maybe 10 books that way; adding to their collection haha!

Kari Jeanne - I love that you introduced me to Goodreads! It really is so helpful in remembering which books I want to read!! I usually put them on hold at the library too BUT sometimes I just love wandering around and finding random gems of books to try out :) The other thing I do when I'm in AZ is to buy books from Goodwill - they are so cheap and I've found so many good ones over the years!
