The Sunday Post (19 September 2021)

          

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly of Caffeinated 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.

Once again I was all ready to have a great blogging or reading week and then my whole week turned into a bit of a disaster so I ended up a bit MIA from the middle of the week. On Wednesday afternoon I started to hear water even though I had no taps on at all. Turns out the pipe supplying my house with water had burst underneath my patio and this caused water to start flooding into the foundations. Thankfully my dad and brother were on hand to help pump water out of the foundations and the water board eventually came out in the late evening to dig up my patio and fix the pipe. It was after 1 am before they were finished so it's safe to say I've been pretty sleep deprived the rest of the week. Thankfully it could have been so much worse and now I just have to wait until the hole in my patio and my foundation dries out before we can get the earth and slabs put back. So it's safe to say blogging and reading took a bit of a backseat.

    Oh no! What a mess! I had a water pipe that was leaking a ton of water in my first house kind of like that. Glad you had help! Hope this week is better.

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 ...
