I definitely am not in need of visiting a library for more books as I have so many of my own vying for attention on my bookshelves – or in piles on floors! But I can’t stop myself from having a look on the Fife library catalogue, just to see what I might be missing. A couple of weeks ago I put the word ‘Virago’ into the catalogue search box because I like Virago books and I’ve already read all of my own Viragos.

I just chose two from the catalogue:

My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin

Wave Me Goodbye – Stories of the Second World War edited by Anne Boston

The third book that I requested was Magpie Lane by Lucy Atkins which is one that a blogger recommended – I think. I haven’t read anything by the author but apparently it’s part thriller and part love story.

Have you read any of these books?

Do you still feel the need to visit your local library despite having loads of books at home to read? I’m fairly sure that most local councils will be planning to shut yet more libraries in the future, so I’m doing my bit to keep their book lending statistics up!
