The book pile has been replenished

 

I have been to the library

I've spent the past few months reading and re-reading all of the Mercedes Lackey Valdemar books, which came in very handy during the two weeks in June/July when I had Covid. If you've never encountered the work of Lackey before, think Game Of Thrones, but without the dragons and with griffins, horses and (occasionally) cats instead.

I'm planning to re-read all the Tamora Pierce Tortall books next (less griffons and dragons, more cats...) but decided it would be a good idea to pause in-between fantasy universes in order to avoid confusion.  

As such, I've been to the library and I've topped up my book pile. 

The book pile has been replenished

The libraries are (semi) open again in these days of Covid. As such, I've been able to replenish my book pile for the first time since March!

The book pile needs feeding...

I have requested some library books to fill it up a bit.

I feel vaguely uneasy if there aren't enough new books to read.

I have been to the library and, as such, the book pile has been fed.

Two book piles at once

I decided I needed a bit more variety in my reading at the moment, so I went to the library and raided the non fiction section.

Happiness is...

...An Easter Egg* and my turn for Sarah Millican's autobiography from the library**

* Which was very hard to track down on Easter Saturday. The great Easter Egg Withdrawal is already well underway in most supermarkets... This one was from Blue Corn in Heaton Moor.

** There is a queue for it. I've been waiting since January and I've got 3 weeks for my turn then it must go back for the next person, which is fair enough.

Book harvesting: This weeks book pile

I shan't read them all at once, that would be madness... Plus I still have two chapters of the Emily Wilding Davison book to finish.
