I've always loved books - guess that's what happens when your Mom was a library science major, was a librarian for many years, and is on the Board of Trustees for the City of Anaheim libraries! Anyhow, I've recently discovered that I've had more time on my hands than normal (thanks to an economic recession & not spending money to go out), so I've officially become a library card holder, once again. Because of this, I've been able to enjoy some new authors I've been wanting to "test" out, and have been pleasantly surprised. One such author is Stephanie Meyer. Her books are highly acclaimed, and have a vampire theme. By no means is this a genre I would've ever explored, but now I'm hooked. I blasted my way through the 500-page book in two nights, and am looking forward to the next installment.
Other fun and light reads are from authors Mary Kay Andrews, Lauren Weisberger, Emily Giffin & Chelsea Handler.
More serious reads, but worth the time are from Khaleid Hossein and Alice Sebold.
So, if you're looking for a way to kill a couple of hours, escape from the stress of the day, and simply enrich your mind...pick up a book!

Les I went and got a library card last year (when I started to actually enjoy reading)and it's the best thing I could've done! My library (like most now a days) have a website so you can totally renew your books online (so no late fees!). At first I totally thought it was "geeky" to get a library card but now I've realized it saves me a lot of money! Does it mean we're getting old when we get excited about library cards hahahahaha
Your blog warms my heart, now that you are enjoying reading again. It does save money to borrow library books, doesn't it? And, who can't use an extra $25.00 in their wallet instead of buying a copy of a book. I do buy, when it's an awesome story and I'd like to read it again.
Anaheim Public Library is revamping their Mission Statement and our tagline is going to be:
"Libraries- For Each Chapter of Your Life!"
