As some of you may remember from my Weekend Plans post, I had four things that I planned to do this weekend. I’d like to say that I accomplished all of them…not quite. But I was close!
1) Volunteering. I did start volunteering at one of my local libraries! I’ll be doing two things. First, I’ll be contributing to the library’s blog with a series called At the Table. It’s where we post about recipes that we have tried or crafts that we have done taken from books available at the library. It’s pretty cool actually and I’ve always wanted to get better at cooking and become more crafty, so this is like a win-win-win for me. Second, I’ll be working with the donations department. We go through each of the books that have been donated looking for damage, then we check it in the system to see how many copies we have and all that good stuff. Then we decide whether to add it to our collection, sell it at the library, or sell it on Amazon. It’s fascinating to see how the library works behind the scenes. I’ve only done the one week so far, but I’m definitely loving it!
2) #ReadingMyLibrary Scavenger Hunt. This was so fun! See my post for it HERE. I really appreciated the nudge to get back out to the library that’s physically the closest to where I’m living. I’ll definitely be going back more often!
3) Make a TBR Jar. Okay, I almost have this done. I was going to do this cute little “ships in a bottle” type thing. I have all my slips folded into origami boats, but my bottle wasn’t big enough. So I’m currently on the lookout for something else to hold my TBRs, but at least the slips are completed (that took the longest amount of time anyway).
4) Book shopping. I kind of did this…but not to the extent that I had hoped. After my volunteer shift was over, I stopped by the sale section of the library and picked up a couple books. I was also sent a book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review. So without further ado…..MINI BOOK HAUL!
The World Before Us was the book that I got for free. I’m interested in reading it, but it’s not the type of book I would usually read.
Wither and City of Fallen Angels ($1.50 each, $3 total) are both books that I’ve read before, but also both part of a series that I’d like to own. Wither is the first in The Chemical Garden trilogy and City of Fallen Angels is number four for The Mortal Instruments series. I’ve been aching to reread the whole series…in fact, I’ve only just realized that I haven’t actually read the sixth book yet. It’s been sitting on my Kindle forever, but I don’t quite remember what happened in the first five books so I haven’t read it yet. I’ll get to it eventually.
As far as reading goes, I finished the ARC that I was trying to get through and I’m almost done with the ebook that I have checked out. How were your weekends? Productive?
