This is what I'm working my way through at the moment! A couple of Christmas gifts, books that I've been meaning to read for a while that I haven't gotten round to, and some hand-me-downs... Keeping me occupied at lunch-time and during my commute!

 

(Those with notes have been read.)

The 4th floor also holds our book stacks which contains over 18,000 titles. The monograph collection includes a matchless assortment of “primary” printed works of historical importance, including physical science monographs, textbooks, laboratory manuals, instrument catalogs, and published correspondence, two-thirds of which dates between the years 1850-1950. For more information about our holdings search our book catalog here!

Airedale Attacks! I've read all the library books here. Room was a well deserving prize winner with a non-annoying/non-precocious/non-HaleyJoelOsment kid as the main character, which is doubly impressive. At the moment I'm actually still edging my way along Proust Volume 5, Part II: The Fugitive (no one armed men involved sorry) and I have yet more library books winging their way. I would make a juggling metaphor here but Haley stole my ball!

By the end of 2013, the new Point Roberts library building fund has raised more than $300,000. In 2014, we will be looking for two or three big government or foundation grants for the rest of what we need. The fundraising progress justified adding three new books to the stack (lower right), so there are now eight books.

 

More information is at foprl.org.

 

Another update (March 2015): We are now up to $437,000 and ten books in the stack.

The books in the Library are arranged by the Library of Congress call number system (a good explanation on another library's web site). If you're wondering if the LIbrary has a book check our catalogue.

First books received from bookmooch.

Our house is full of them, this one is Zoë''s.

Jean-Paul Satre - The Reprieve

H.D. - Trilogy (The Walls Do Not Fall, Tribute To The Angels, The Flowering Of The Rod)

John Lewis Gaddis - The Cold War

Rob Eastaway - What Is A Googly?

Quick Fix German Grammer

The Rough Guide To Switzerland

C.G. Jung - Jung On The East

 

Satre - I got started on The Age Of Reason and had to just go for it & get the whole trilogy read. I'm almost done with this one, hurrah. It's sooo flipping good as well.

 

I always have H.D. near, I can't get enough of this book.

 

Just started on The Cold War book, and it's proving really interesting and accessible so far. I bought this for my dad for his birthday, and now he's done with it I get a shot. ;)

 

What Is A Googly - this has not left my coffee table since the Cricket World Cup began. It's a brilliant little reference book, and pretty amusing.

 

Eek, I need to delve into my German Grammer book sometime soon, I've neglected it of late.

 

Heh, I'm still planning my Swiss holiday.

 

Jung - have just started on this, and is proving really interesting so far (but I'm only a few pages in.. so I can't say much more than that. lol).

Okay, so i don't have a whole lot of time for reading what with the big clean out going on, but sometimes i'll steal a few minutes in the bathtub or during lunch.

 

Here's what they're about if you wanted to know:

 

Chicken Soup for the Brides Soul:

 

Cute little stories about weddings, only takes a minute to read one but they're so tear jerking and addictive...

 

This Book Will Change Your Life:

 

That's some funny stuff. It give you an activity to do every day. Like draw a fake tattoo, or write to a serial killer (it even gives their addresses). Some of the stuff is a little outrageous, some i wouldn't have the guts to do (like leave it in a park with a note to mail it back to me), some are funny. The art is terrific. A definite recommend.

 

Kick the Clutter:

 

It really is helping to encourage me to get rid of. One thing i like about this book is that it's written by a pack rat, so she understands it's hard to let go. Also, she encourages people to recycle and donate instead of throwing away. It goes room by room and give wonderful ideas.

 

Dead and Gone:

 

Trashy vampire book series that i only started reading b/c it was gonna make my friend Kate happy and she forced all the books into my hands. Turns out they are very addictive!

 

Going Bridal:

 

Wedding planning, haven't read it yet

 

The Everything Wedding Book:

 

Wedding planning, i haven't read it yet.

 

Trash Origami:

 

Making origami out of trash, for T's homeschooling. Haven't read it yet, either.

 

Why is that i've read the ones i own + the trashy vampire book, but not the other library books??? Katety... (Say that with a chastising tone.)

Thanks to family and friends my "Book Wants" list has dropped to zero. There's a few that weren't on my list too, thanks Santa.

For once this new library actually has a decent stock of books. Incredible angles throughout.

Books I have bought or been given over the past couple of months

Money spent on books is always money well spent!

 

"A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition."

When I ran away from home as a child, I took a wagon, my sleeping bag and a globe. My mother put this little gift together to remind me of that time.

Here is a scarecrow, lazying about next to Saint Thomas More, here on the ol' bookshelf. I love the quirkiness of it.

Boatwright Library first floor book stacks during winter break. I love the smell of the books and journals and loved the first section without lights contrasted the back section fully lite.
