I don't have kids books in a pile but I did happen to request a few too many adult books from the library and they all came in at once - people must be reading things quickly this summer. I just finished Tamar by Mal Peet and I'm in the middle of Empire of the Summer Moon. There are two more waiting!wakeupandwritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609907178978468802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-51141640434238443892012-07-25T00:15:26.629-04:002012-07-25T00:15:26.629-04:00Thanks for the good insight into some books that a...Thanks for the good insight into some books that are unfamiliar to me.

I have about 30+ books checked out from the library that I know I'll never be able to read before they are due. I sadly return them as I pick up a new stack of books and the cycle repeats. :) <br /><br />We have many of the same books waiting. . . I've heard great things about (but haven't read yet): Summer of the Gypsy Moths, Laugh with the Moon, and The Lions of Little Rock. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing today and connecting with a fellow book hoarder! And, no, that's not a bad thing! :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-50137040123770438712012-07-24T14:37:20.565-04:002012-07-24T14:37:20.565-04:00So which book wins the "Pick me" honor? ...So which book wins the "Pick me" honor?
