And some things are made of PLASTIC. If you look around you, plastic is everywhere. Even in places where it’s not meant to be. If it drops…
Library Loot: Non-fiction galore!
Library Loot: Non-fiction galore! Wow, it’s been an age since I posted one of these, despite the fact that I have been borrowing tonnes of books from the library, as always. I’m there at least once a week to pick up reservations and grab books from the ‘Recent Arrivals’ section, plus buy books in the…
Library Loot: Adventure, Friendship and Christmas
Library Loot: Adventure, Friendship and Christmas Today I made my weekly pilgrimage to my local library to return what I’ve read this week and stock up on new books galore, despite the piles of books I still have to read on my own shelves!

Library Loot: Hallowe’en Reads
Library Loot: Hallowe’en Reads My visit to the library was an epic fail this week as, despite the fact that I know I have reservations waiting, I forgot to bring my books to return and, having maxed out my card, was actually unable to pick these up today. The library is now closed until…
Library Loot: Magic and Spookiness
Library Loot: Magic and Spookiness My visit to the library was a fleeting one this week, as I was rushing to get school for our annual fireworks display – it was incredible! I still find fireworks so exciting and magical, perhaps because they are quite heavily restricted where I’m from so the only chances…

Library Loot: Mysterious Boys, Rain and Wellington Boots
Library Loot: Mysterious Boys, Rain and Wellington Boots I have read so many books that I might not otherwise have had the opportunity to access, all thanks to libraries. I have been an avid reader and user of libraries for as long as I can remember and visited at least once, if not…
Library Loot: Invisible Women, Peer Pressure and Folklore
Library Loot: Invisible Women, Peer Pressure and Folklore Libraries are amazing. I am still dumbfounded by the level of service that they offer, almost completely for free! Even the charges that exist are nominal and there is something about a library that inherently makes it a comfortable, welcoming place to be. I love libraries and…
