I got to the library about a half hour before it opened, and I waited until it did. While I was there, about thirty other people showed up to wait, 1-3 at a time, some of them children with their parents. I really like to see...

Good night, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (36399) • Petaluma, California 6 Nov

I'm going to say good night and shut down the computer. Again, I've gotten caught up in what I was doing, and not watching the time. I'm feeling a bit better; tomorrow I will take more cough medicine, as it's an "every 12...

They're both ready

Stacey @xstitcher (36399) • Petaluma, California 6 Nov

I looked at the Library website, and both of the books that I "ordered" are finally on hold at the library for me. Tomorrow I'll head over there and get them, and in the same trip return the books that I've finished. That way,...

I made my goal...

Stacey @xstitcher (36399) • Petaluma, California 6 Nov

I had forgotten to "up" my reading goal. I went to Amazon GoodReads because I realized that I hadn't updated my progress on a book that I'm reading, and saw when I got to my page that I hadn't recorded finishing a book. No...

Books: Will we ever stop using physical books?

Anne Perry @eli908640 (37) 29 Oct

I did a quick online search on stats about whether or not we will ever stop using physical books. I was astonished by the answers. To summarize, it turns out that by 2050, 90%+ of reading will be digital for efficiency. But...

Would you pay more for an autographed book?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48142) • Staten Island, New York 23 Oct

Melania Trump’s memoir in hardcover is sold for $40. On her website there is a signed hardcover of her memoir being sold for $150. I am assuming it’s exactly the same book and it’s just autographed inside. That’s $110 more for a...

Good Sonday morning, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (36399) • Petaluma, California 19 Oct

Hello, all! It's Sonday, so I'll be heading to church in an hour and a half. When I get home, I'll rest up for whatever craziness comes up this week. I looked at the library website, but the two books that I have on hold are...

Loretta @noni1959 (11025) • United States 16 Oct

The Christian thrift store in town sells books five for a dollar, and about once a week I find three to five that catch my eye. This week I found, "The Original Fannie Farmer 1896 Cook Book", from The Boston Cooking School. What...

It's 8:13 a.m. by my computer clock, and I've been up about an hour. I need to get breakfast and coffee, and then wait for my telehealth appointment. After that, I'd like to go to the gym. I need to return a couple of books...

9:06 p.m., and I need to head to bed. I have two more books to return to the library, and hopefully one to pick up. I'd like to check a couple more places for job applications. I hope to be able to get to the gym tomorrow for...

Went to the store for nothing

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48142) • Staten Island, New York 26 Sep

There was a particular poetry book that I wanted to get—A Magnificently Ordinary Romance by Celia Martinez. I did not want to pay $6.99 shipping to order it from Barnes & Noble so I went to the store. Before going there I...

Reading goal update

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48142) • Staten Island, New York 22 Sep

My reading goal for this year was 77 books, though I was hoping to get to 80. So far I have read only 36 books. I am 47% there. I very much doubt that I will reach my goal this year but that’s ok. Reading as many books as I...

Diving Back Into Reading

IvySaysHi @IvySaysHi (4533) • United States 12 Sep

I really miss the way I used to devour literature. I could finish multiple books in a week. Now I'm lucky to be able to sit down and start reading for pleasure. I'm not sure where I started slowing down with it, but boy do I miss...

I went to the library for the first time in...I couldn't tell you when. Now, this was the actual library, not the mini-library I've been going to for months while the main library was being remodeled. Wow. I didn't...

Okay, that's done.

Stacey @xstitcher (36399) • Petaluma, California 15 Aug

I went to the library, and the building that they've been using as the "mini-library" was open at the back, and there were some people at a table in front of it. At first, I asked where I could return the books I had, and I...

Stacey @xstitcher (36399) • Petaluma, California 22 Jul

I went next door to feed the cats, and when I came home, I watered the plants. Now, I am going to figure out the order of these books I have from the library (ie: look it up on line) and start the first book. After that, I'd...
