Just One Good Book...Please?

The seemingly simple task of picking out a library book is anything but with three kids in tow. Gone are the days of lingering in the new book section, reading the cover and giving heavy consideration to each book summary. My current technique is more of a quantity over quality method in which I quickly grab several books that grab my attention at any level while holding one child and keeping the other two from dragging books off the shelves. The problem with this technique is that when I get home and find an opportunity to peruse my hasty grabs, I usually end up with an eclectic blend of choices along the lines of “Benjamin Franklin, the School Years”, “The History of Egypt” and “One Woman’s Journey; a Transsexual’s Story”.

  1. I know just what you mean! I went to the library today with Mikayla and Hannah intow. I am kind of picky when it comes to books, I need a good one to keep me reading, so I found myself keeping a list of books that I would like to read and placed a few on hold at the library. Then they just e-mail me when it is in. Today I got a good looking one called "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Happy Reading!
