It is a banner day - I just used the Public Library!

booneybear · March 2014

I haven't used the library in probably about 3 years. However, the book that was chosen for our next irl bookclub meeting is something I have absolutely no interest in whatsoever so I didn't want to spend any money on it. So I finally bit the bullet and figured out how to download the book from the library onto my kindle. Now it is just a matter of if I will actually read it or not.

But Yay me for not spending money and for supporting the local library.

Now I'm curious...

What's the book?

Dreams of Joy by Lisa See. It is the third of a 'series' (Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is the first and Shanghai Girls is the second).

I read half of Snow Flower and gave up and never read Shanghai Girls and I guess this book has characters from Shanghai Girls in it.

Why would anyone pick the third book in a series for a book club meeting?????? Especially if not everyone has read the series. WTF?

Yay! This is a wise financial move. More money for shoes!

This won't stop me from buying hoards of books though. I don't like time restrictions on having to read things. I makes me want to do the opposite and not read them.

I liked Snow Flower, but never read the rest.

And yes, WTF?

I was too horrified by the foot binding to go beyond that point.

Although, I will happily confess that I would totally do the foot binding thing if someone told me I had to in order to get a closet full of Louboutins.
