No Limit

Up until a couple of months ago, our library limited the number of books a patron could check out at one time to 25. I was always right at the limit -- after all, I usually check out books for myself and my husband as well as for Drew and Gracie. Actually, when I say right at the limit, I mean 25 books plus or minus five (or so). I occasionally pushed the limit, and the librarians didn't seem to mind too much.

Then one day I let Gracie choose some books and she ended up picking more than I thought she would. I knew I would be *way* over the limit. I mentioned it to the librarian when I went to check out, and she said they no longer had a limit.

No limit. Hmmmm. That is probably a dangerous thing for a book lover like me. My husband is convinced that I am attempting to check out the entire library at one time, bringing the books into the house one bag at a time, one day at a time. Right now I have 48 books checked out. And I'm getting ready to go to the library when I finish this post to pick up another book. (I am returning four books ... but you never know what else will look interesting when I get there!)

Below is the list of books that I have recently read, am currently reading, or will be reading soon. Maybe I'll blog about them sometime soon.
