I've been reading new releases from my local library for awhile, so it isn't the recent economic downturn that has affected me.
I love my library and sometimes I am down aways on the list, but I don't mind. They usually order 8-10 copies of very popular books (we're a small county)
I also love my library to browse around and find new authors. That is one of my favorite things to do!
I love series books - I like to see the different characters come to life and revisit with the older ones. I also enjoy single titles, but I am a sucker for a series.
Too funny - I think I've learned I can't do true crime. In Cold Blood really messed me up, but give me good romantic suspense, or plain suspense any day - as long as it's fiction because no matter how real it seems I can tell myself that it is made up :)
I can't think of anything I would go back and change, each thing that has happened has shaped me as a person. I think I would like to be braver. I'm not very outspoken and there are many times I wished I had said something, but I didn't stand up at the time and do it. I would like to do that, but I'm not sure it's in my nature :)
