Does anyone else do that ?


...go into the library for one book and come out with a handful, that is ? I just popped up to the little branch library here (I don't use it often because it's not directly on my route to anywhere else, unlike the Central library), but they had a copy of Philip Pullman's The Ruby in the Smoke on the shelves, and all the Central library's copies are out on loan. This is the next Reading Group book (and I don't actually own a copy as yet), so I had to borrow a copy. And whilst I was hunting along the shelves for it (and trying not to fall over the 2 year olds who were moving about in a pack!), I found Cat Weatherill's Barkbelly - which either Kelly Herold or her mom reviewed a while ago over on Big A, little. I also found David Cunningham's Cloudworld - which I had looked at in an actual bricks-and-mortar bookstore last year and thought looked rather interesting, but it wasn't then available at the time in the library (and Barkbelly wasn't even out here!). I'm pleased as punch to have both these books on my TBR - but slightly concerned that I only went in for one book and came out with three...
