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 ...
I only read The Notebook from your list, but it could indeed have had a lot more pages :) And in general, I love bigger books because if I love the characters and the story I can never get enough!
ReplyDeleteI'm exactly the same - if I love the story i just want more and more.

DeleteOMG yes, I wish Frostblood had more pages, and I'm absolutely dying for Fireblood! Amazing picks :D

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! I'm desperate for September to get here.
DeleteI watched the BBC series Our Zoo and thought it was really cute! Lots of emotional depth to it as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched it yet, but the book is just so good!
DeleteOoh the Princess Bride... good choice! I like what you did with this topic- there are a lot of books it would be nice to have more pages from.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, if I love a story I just want to keep reading and reading it.
DeleteLove that cover of The Princess Bride! Frost Blood is on my TBR, so I look forward to wanting more pages!
ReplyDeleteIt's so gorgeous isn't it. Frostblood is definitely one of my favourites and I can't wait for September when Fireblood comes out.
Delete100% yes to The Princess Bride!
ReplyDeleteLauren @ Always Me
Haha! Definitely! I just love it so so much.
DeleteAhhhh yes! Frostblood! I'm with you on that one! Definitely needed more pages!
