Happiness is finding a Penguin Classics Edition of a Reading Challenge selection on sale at the library for a dollar.
Wondering if I should wash my hair, then go return the book and see if my mystery hold is available, or go to library first.
A long-awaited, highly popular installment of a mystery series arrived at the public library system this week. My local branch received three copies today and one already has been taken out, five hours after opening.
In other news, I finished reading _The Blind Assassin_ for my Badass Books Reading Challenge 2018.
I finished Papa La-bas by #JohnDicksonCarr. It was not terrific, nor terrible. I wonder if most of JDC's stories are better than Papa La-bas: it has a Goodreads rating of 3.16.

You can opt for the site to NOT keep and publish your address after March 1 2018. #penpals

Finished _Christmas Pudding_ by Nancy Mitford; onto next two #BadassReadingChallenge entries: #Papa La-Bas_ by #JohnDicksonCarr, and _The Blind Assassin_ by #MargaretAtwood.
I'm responsible for posting the following content which was flagged, resulting in a 24-hour suspension. On occasion I'm accused of being insensitive but I can't certify that my accusers aren't hypersensitive or insane. Have a look and tell me what's triggering:
"What are we reading in 2018? For the weather-stricken in northeastern North America, I recommend _Winner of the National Book Award_ by Jincy Willett, and Rick Moody's _The Ice Storm_."
_Henderson the Rain King_ isn't on Moran's list either, nor is _Love in a Cold Climate_. I am reading Mitford's _Christmas Pudding_ because it's still Christmas season, and I'm on a 'English country manor' jag.
