Since the Last Time We Talked about Books

Well, I got sucked into re-reading Harry Potter.  I was reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to Lex one night, and then I couldn't help it.  I ended up reading that book, and the rest of the series:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Then, I didn't know what to read.  I kind of wanted to read the first Harry Potter book at that point, but I've been sucked into this endless re-reading cycle before.  I resisted.  I started reading one of Connor's new books:  The Call of Cthulhu.  But I wasn't enjoying it very much because I had never read it before and therefore didn't know what was going to happen next.  

So, I ended up re-reading The Fault in Our Stars.  

And then something new happened.  THE LIBRARY REOPENED TO THE PUBLIC.

That was my benchmark.  That was the thing I was waiting for to know that the pandemic was coming to an end and real life was restarting.  I figured that the public library wasn't really losing money by staying closed, because it didn't generate money.  It was a service, and one that people could argue was non-essential in a time of crisis (except for Hermione Granger).  I figured it would stay closed until the danger was largely over.  And so it did.  But, now it's open again.

We went to the library today, and this is what I checked out.  Some books I have read, and some that I haven't.
