LOL I love that cartoon at the top!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny? I was looking for something that seemed library-ish so I was looking at all these stately books and then I found that cartoon. :)
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon is too cute! I can't believe how many challenges you are doing, the single one I'm doing now seems very lonely and not very challenging! Maybe I need to sign up for some more of these:)
ReplyDeleteNo audiobooks? Well, that's just no fun for me. That's how I plan to get half my library reading done!
ReplyDeletehaha I can't believe I never go to the library. I'm awful. Mostly it's because I want to fill my shelves ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all your challenges!
Jenny, I know! I may very well have bitten off more than I can chew. :P
ReplyDeleteKitten, You should check out Bewitched Bookworms' audiobook challenge then!
Melissa, Thanks! I always read books from the library before buying them. Unless they're used, then I have zero self-control!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge would be perfect, I always get my books from the library. Then if I really love them, I buy them! Thanks for this, I entered :]
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating :) I cannot wait to see what you read.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I do the same thing!

ReplyDeleteHaha, it happens! I think we're both running to the end of our hops, but maybe next year! :)
ReplyDeleteSmall,
ReplyDeleteWe certainly did sign up for a lot of challenges. I can't help that I'm a buttons whore. LOL
This one looks good. I need to get to my local library more often. *sighs*
And I definitely will be coming to you for suggestions on re-told fairy stories. Hope you don't mind. :D
Happy New Year.
Haha, I love the buttons too. I wouldn't be nearly as tempted without them! I don't mind at all. I just hope I don't flood you with a million suggestions! :P
