Our local libraries allow you to take books out for 3 weeks but you are only allowed one renewal (none if someone has it on hold.) I like the NY Public Library e books because of convenience but I would rather read a physical book.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-29370868538186320652021-08-01T00:46:03.877-04:002021-08-01T00:46:03.877-04:00Interesting reading list.Interesting reading list.Cerebrations.bizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273098928740152430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-84547947371410872292021-07-31T22:51:58.295-04:002021-07-31T22:51:58.295-04:00Our library also does a summer and winter reading ...Our library also does a summer and winter reading program for all ages.

Not a way to encourage reading! I participate in the summer reading program every year. Last year it went to an online system, which they have this year, or the option of printing out the log. I've already read enough for the prize of a free book. I picked the one I mentioned on my blog a bit ago, which I highly recommend, even though I dislike historical fiction! It's by Julie Otsuka, When the Emperor was Divine, about a Japanese American family in WWII and their internment. I usually read mystery and suspense. <br />Did you put those reviews on Goodreads?

But recently I've gotten my mojo back and have been writing another biblical fiction, so I've neglected my reading!

When my kids were little we always signed up and enjoyed participating in it. Liked also to do the activities the library would plan that were usually free :)<br /><br />I too like e-books and our library has a great assortment of them. We can hold 8 books at a time and check out 10 books but only for 2 weeks. In contrast, if you get an actual book from the library, you can renew it literally forever if it is not on hold for someone else. In fact I have books I checked out in April of this year; just finished the first of the three I checked out lol (I read an actual book before sleep, read the e-books on my tablet when exercising on the treadmill). <br /><br />The books you featured here seem interesting. Might have to check them out. I agree with you. If a book doesn't hold my interest, I won't finish it. Too many good books out there. <br /><br />Recently I read The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel that I really enjoyed and The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah which I also enjoyed though it is a sad story. <br /><br />Happy reading!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
