The Sunday Post (5 June)


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 has been a fantastic week here in Scotland. We have had brilliant sunshine all week with temperatures reaching mid-20's. At work, we've all been sitting outside all week for lunch and it's just been a great atmosphere because of it. And on Tuesday, to combat the heat, I tried a Watermelon and Strawberry Fruit Cooler from Costa and it was just perfection. It is definitely worth trying. I also spent all day Saturday outside reading and even with the Factor 20 sun lotion on I burned! Not fun!

And as of early Saturday morning, I have the house to myself for a week and two weeks off work. I can't wait to get so much reading done and I only hope I can read as much as I'm hoping I will. I'm also going to try and use this time to get ahead of my blogging because I really am falling behind a bit.

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 ...
