• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!
I just read MizB's Musing Mondays post on buying too many books. I do think that all book bloggers are probably guilty that. I know I try to keep my book buying down. Add to that there is the problem of books I accept to review and I always have more than I can read. That leads me to the my post.
I loved Gail Carriger's Alexia Tarabotti series. When her new YA series set in the same world came out I wanted to read it but I wanted to get it at my public library. However, I kept forgetting to see if they had the book. Saturday I was visiting the library and remembered to check. By then there were two books out in the series and my library had book two, Curtsies and Conspiracies, and it was on the shelf. They do not have book one, Etiquette & Espionage, at all. I checked out book two and now I have to decide. Do I start with book two? Do I buy book one? Or and this just occurred to me, I could ask them to get it on inter-library loan. Yes, that is what I will do. Thanks for listening and helping me make the decision. Some times you just have to work through something before you can make a decision.
