The Sunday Post (3 January)

Sunday Post
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly of Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

It's been another busy week this week and I didn't get nearly as much reading or blogging done. I started my annual clear out of clothes and books. I was fairly successful clearing out my clothes and have got rid of 2 bag loads, but then I bought some new clothes with Christmas vouchers so I still don't have much space. I only clear out books that I either DNF or rate 1 star, therefore I only got rid of 1 physical book this year. I have decided that books I rate 2 or 3 stars will go onto the top shelf of my wardrobe at the moment. Unfortunately, that was only 3 books...

On Thursday, we celebrated Hogmanay here in Scotland. So we went out to the local pub to a Hogmanay family party. It was really good, even though there were (what seemed like) hundreds of screaming kids. Our family and my Auntie, Uncle and Cousins were there too so it was a great family night.

On Friday, we had a lazy day until we went to my Auntie and Uncle's house for a few drinks. We then all first footed a family friend.

And then, on Saturday, we all had our big family meal at my Granny and Granda's house. So, all in all, it was a great week filled with far too much alcohol!

      I'm enjoying it so far though I've watched the film so many times that I keep getting deja vu.

    Happy Reading, very nice reads you have there. I have heard of The Purple Sage, but haven't read it.

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 ...
