The library blocked my account. I didn't even know that they could block an account, but they blocked mine. So I went on Thursday to update my information (and pay my fines) and they gave me a new library card, sending me on my way with the assurance that everything would work just fine. When I got home and attempted to log into my account, it said there is a problem with my login number. The library is closed until Monday, so I can't even call and fix it until then!
While I was there, though, I borrowed Landing by Emma Donoghue, The River Wife by Jonis Agee, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley, and The White Queen by Philipa Gregory. And from Goodreads, I got 3 books in the mail yesterday. Amy and Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout, Time of My Life by Allison Winn Scotch, and One Day by David Nicholls.
My reading goal for 2011 is 75 books. I ended up reading 51 in 2010. Nate said I have to pick lighter reads to break it up a little bit. I recently started Outlander, which I have seen good reviews for. But its 850 pages! The last time I read a book this long was when I read The Mists of Avalon in high school! I also have other lengthy books on my to-read list for this year. Books I wanted to read last year but didn't get around to it. Like The Stand, for instance. Or a reread of I Am Charlotte Simmons. And this will be the year I finally make it through the DaVinci Code!! I have tried and tried since I was a senior in college (a good 6 years ago) to read this book, and I have not succeeded. I read Angels and Demons and LOVED IT. I have both of his other books on my bookshelf, waiting to be read.
Happy New Year! 
Bunny likes to read, too!
