It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 2/13/17

Last week started out pretty rough – and before I re-live it, I’m not going to go into all the gory detail. Just know that there were patron problems, a presentation issue, a pet turtle scare and much more! But, thankfully, that all happened Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday really turned around.

Our pet turtle, Tera, is actually fine – a little diet change and a large tank and he’ll be good to go!  And now I’m going to brag, I have some of the best patrons out there – we need to double the size of our turtle tank and after having a request up on our Facebook page for no more than an hour, we got a new turtle tank and all her supplies donated to us from some awesome patrons and a great Girl Scout Troop!

Thursday was a snow day and our library was closed and Friday was Friday, so after a very rocky start, the week really turned itself around!  And in the midst of all the craziness, I got an awful lot of reading done! I read:

• Finding Perfect by Elly D. Swartz
• The Great American Whatever  by Tim Federle
• Paper Wishes by Lois Sepahban
• Snow White by Matt Phelan
• Two Naomis by Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich

I finally feel like I’m back in my reading groove after a hectic fall – I’m reading more than I have in a long time and it feels awesome.  I haven’t looked too closely at what I want to read this week, but I did put on hold:

1. The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
2. The Memory of Light by Francisco X. Stork
3. The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi
4. Hour of the Bees by Lindsay Eagar
5. Wish by Barbara O’Connor
