Today, for the first time in more than a year and a half, I went to an actual physical library. The library is usually very good at getting the ebooks I request but for some reason this one book I wanted they can't get as an ebook so I had to get it in physical form. I planned to just get this one book, I really should have known that I would leave with more than one; in the end I left with eight, which was a bit more than I expected. But they had interesting fantasy books originally written in German, lying right there on the table, and I couldn't resist.
It was very nice to be surrounded by so many books again! Unfortunately I still didn't feel completely comfortable just staying for longer and browsing (also I wanted to get home), but I should definitely check out this branch again.

Thanks for all the encouragement on my recent rec post, that was very nice and now I definitely want to try reccing things more regularly :)

Oooh, what did you buy?

I'm well familiar with that behaviour. I'm going to the library tomorrow, let's see how I fare. *g* Which books did you take home with you?

It's been a very long time since I brought home that many books from a library trip! (Having displays with multiple great options right there certainly has helped me do that, and it sounds like the same approach got to you as well. Kudos to librarians!)

Ah, libraries <3 I too went to one for the first time in a loooong time recently and even though the visit was brief it still felt so good to get to be in a real library again! I didn't leave with eight books, but only because I'm spending the summary isolated with my parents & sister, so I couldn't lug too many along with me XD

Are you reading all not-in-the-same-series books simultaneously or working your way through them one by one? Any favorites yet? I read The Raven Tower recently and would love to discuss the story if you feel like it when you've finished :)
