I am sure your library appreciates your bad choices in upcoming releases! I am listening to Boys in the Boat now and who knew that a book about boat racing could be so fascinating. FYI – Welcome to Braggsville is pretty great.

OK- I’ll give Boys in the Boat a try…I was one of those “I don’t care about a book about sports or the Olympics or boats so I’ll pass”. Ha! I had to chuckle at your same thoughts.
I just did a post about Classic Retellings and feel like they are everywhere. But…I am slightly curious about Eligible and might just have to pick that one up.

My library pile is always gigantic. I place holds on books and then when I take the kids to the library, it seems like more books jump into my arms.

I enjoyed Bittersweet too. Did you know the author has a new book coming out next month?

In reply to Deepika Ramesh. That would be so hard for me! I spent most of my career as a librarian and as a library volunteer after that. They're one of my favorite places to hang out.

In reply to Lynn @ Smoke & Mirrors. Good to know about the Steinem book! I read one of her earlier works but haven't read anything by or about her in al ong time. Adding to my TBR!

Good always trumps new. The Story of My Tits sounds like something I need to read, and Welcome to Braggsville is hanging out on my TBR.

Boys in the Boat. A good friend told me I must read this and another friend gave me her copy…and…not yet read. 🙁 Must get to that one! The Taxidermist’s Daughter definitely looks interesting! My library standouts for March were Salt to the Sea–absolutely an EXCELLENT read!–and My Life on the Road–Gloria is my newest hero!

‘The Boys in the Boat’ sounds fantastic. Thank you for this post. 🙂 There are no great libraries in Chennai. So, all of my books are bought. I dream of the day when there would be a good library in the city.

I look forward to reading your thoughts on ‘Miller’s Valley’.

I’m having the opposite problem; I can’t find much at the library right now, though I have several requests in and I’m hopeful about them. I did check out an “oldie” recently because it was on the Librarian Recommendation shelf when I needed a book: Willa Cather’s Shadows on the Rock. I find that I really enjoy her prose – very beautiful and spare. The book didn’t have a huge plot, but it was a pleasure to read.
