Exceedingly Mundane

I made yet another trip to my library today… to return the “Finding Neverland” DVD and “The Preservationist”, both of which I finished this week. I tried to just drop them off and walk out of there, but I have this sort of defective gene when it comes to the library. I feel like I have to at least look around, then after I start looking, I feel compelled to leave with several items in my hand. It’s a sickness, I tell you, a sickness.

I brought home 2 more movies – I have discovered the joy of renting movies for free from the library and I just can’t resist. I got another one on our rental list that we missed earlier when it came out, “Hotel Rwanda” and I also picked up the DVD of “Wuthering Heights”. Sigh.

I got 2 more books, and have just added them to my sidebar in the “up next to read” segment. They are “Vanishing Acts” by Jodi Picoult and “Shem Creek” by Dorothea Benton Frank. I have read one other Picoult book, “Plain Truth” and really enjoyed it, so I looked for another one. I have never read anything by Frank, but she’s a Southern writer and I generally like books like this. I have seen her newest one “Full of Grace” at the bookstore and resisted, so I thought I would start with an older book of hers (aka, free from the library). 🙂 Check back in the next couple of weeks for a review of these… these are both a bit heftier books, weighing in at 400 and 300 pages or so, so it may take me a bit longer with the weekend and holiday to finish them. 🙄
