COYER Red, White & Blue Read-a-thon (4 - 10 July)

REDWHITEBLUE

I'm taking part in the first COYER read-a-thon of the year - the Red, White & Blue Read-a-thon to celebrate America's Fourth of July. Red, White & Blue will take place from 4 July to 10 July.

This will also be my first ever read-a-thon so I'm going to go easy on myself and aim for 3 books of each colour. And, yes, I'm a bit late to the party with all three of them but at least I'm getting there!

RED:
The Elite (The Selection, #2)

WHITE:
The One (The Selection, #3)

BLUE:
The Fault in Our Stars

PROGRESS:
Saturday - The Elite = started and 53% complete
Sunday - The Elite = 85% complete
Monday - The Elite = Finished. The One = started and finished.
Tuesday - Didn't read
Wednesday - Didn't read
Thursday - Didn't read
Friday - Didn't read

So, the Read-a-thon started out so well for me... then I got ill and could barely stay awake never mind read. Hopefully I can do better in the next one.

Discussion: The Problem With My Local Library

I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school.  Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.  Source The availability sucks. I can deal with books I want that are already out on loan. It's the complete lack of decent books the library has on its system that gets to me. All those months I went to the library last year and I never left with a book that was already on my TBR. I walked around that place looking at my Goodreads trying to find any book on that list. And I couldn't find any at all (except for the Classics). To be honest, I ...
