The Sunday Post (14 February)

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 quiet week this week meaning I managed to read lots. When I wasn't reading, we had my Granny round for tea on Tuesday night. So it was a nice catch-up with her even if she does have a habit of telling us about the lives of distant relatives who I don't actually know.

On Thursday, it was a sad day in our house. It was 4 years since my wee man, Ozzie, was suddenly taken from us. A lot of people say that he was just a dog, but he was my mischevious wee rascal and was always looking for cuddles. He was thick as mince but I loved him and not a day goes by that I don't miss him.

    Nothing worse than losing a beloved pet. He looks like he was a great dog. I hope you have a good week.

    That's a tough anniversary, sorry to hear about your dog. :( Glad it was a good reading week. Nice post on libraries too- my local library is okay, they have a pretty good selection in some ways but I have trouble with new releases too, so I end up buying books. It would be nice if I could get more there and not have to buy them. :)

      Yeah, it was a tough week but we got through it.

      Thank you very much! Rubbish library selection is the main reason I buy so many of my books too! it would be so much nicer (and cheaper) to borrow.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish .  This week's topic is the top ten characters you'd like to check in with.  I really struggled with this one, my brain just went blank and I couldn't really think of anyone besides pretty obvious choices.

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 ...
