The Sunday Post (12 December 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.

It was back to work this week after my week off and it's been so busy. We also seem to be heading back towards more working from home due to Omicron. I also got my booster vaccination over the weekend, and so far the only side effect I've had is tiredness.

This week my dad and I got 26.5 out of 40 on the pub quiz. It's the best we've done in a wee while. I also spent some time with my family on a Santa train at the weekend. My poor nephew didn't know what to make of it all, but he warmed up to all the dancing.

    I'm so glad you enjoyed Talk Bookish to Me! I haven't seen any one read that one yet and bought it purely because it was on such a good deal.

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 ...
