ARC du jour
The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti
Om mitt bibliotek My library grows at a far more accelerated rate than it is read. It seems that I either can't stop myself from going into the local bookstores on a regular basis, or can't stop myself from buying at least one volume while I'm there. Both scenarios seem to present a problem, as I live across the street from the local B&N, and my friends and I frequent the store so much that the employees now know us all by name (it's like Cheers!).
As far as my library, it's a little bit of this, a little bit of that. I usually find either a subject or an author that catches my interest, and start focusing on buying books in that particular genre or by that particular author. Nothing like a little self-diagnosed OCD to make life fun!
As mentioned, I buy more books than I can read at any given point, and for awhile tried to keep a stack of books by the bed of what I wanted to read next, but when that stack grew into three, I decided that might not be the best idea. Sometimes I think I need to reduce my library or at least buy less, but as a good friend says, "One can never have too many books."

I just read Pat Conroy's My Losing Season. Have you read it? I love Pat Conroy. I think I'm going to write a blog about him and his writing soon. If you haven't read it, I certainly recommend it. It's a memoir focused around his college senior basketball season. He's one of my favorite writers not only because of how and what he write but because where it comes from. Anyway, just wanted to share that since I just finished the book.
Take Care!

Just put up my other brief review for A Dog Among Diplomats. I am hoping to sit down and do better reviews later as I have been flat out busy these past couple of weeks, for the time being these will have to do. http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.ph...
I am enjoying the Aust. references which are fun and the aussie character had me cracking up.The saddest part was sitting there thinking "do I really talk like that?". I'd say no but I strongly suspect I would say something similar. I would be curious to know if the author has been to Australia or not though.My only thumbs down for the book would be that we didn't get much Marlin time in this book. :)
Been reading your blog which is great, I just wish my library was able to keep up. My local librarian starts to look pained when I come in to ask her about some book I have see on either your or Irish's blogs. I might have to give her a break and work on my tbr pile.
Cheers

Just wanted to let you know I finished Dog About Town and though it was great. I think this is definitely a series I can really enjoy. Its got a great mix of unusual, humor, mystery, and character development to keep my interest. Plus for once I was not able to accurately guess the outcome. I put a review up but its not fantastic I will have to revisit it and edit it I think as I was not completely happy with it when I wrote it.
I have just started the next one whose name escapes me at this present moment as my hungry tummy is telling my loudly it is dinner time!
Cheers
Casp.
