It's been quite a quiet week again this week. I've had lots of time to read and even scheduled a few posts. On Thursday, my parents, brother and his girlfriend went off to watch Nitro Circus in Glasgow, so I had the house to myself. I got a ton of blogging done in the peace and quiet and I also watched the remake of Footloose. I actually quite liked it, but obviously, it's not the original but I bet it had a lot of younger people watching the original too. On Friday, I again had the house to myself. So guess what? I got more reading and blogging done!

On Saturday night, I finally went out and socialised for once this week and went to a friends birthday house party. It was a good laugh and we had a hilarious game of Cards Against Humanity. And thankfully, I wasn't feeling to rough on Sunday.

On Sunday, I actually spent time with my brother and his girlfriend. We had a nice drive up the Glens until I started to feel car sick. Then we had Chinese. So all in all it was a good weekend.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Give to Someone That Doesn't Like Reading (2 November 2021)

                  Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl . This week's topic is books I'd give to someone that doesn't like reading. It's a very short list this week but I'm basing it off my sister-in-law who doesn't read much but these are books she enjoyed.

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 ...
