Recommend to purchase for the library?

Yeah, she said she would recommend that the YA librarian buys it. So I hope she does, and I hope they can find it, and I hope they can afford it!

The selection of books at the library where I grew up used to kill me XD There would be series where they had number 2 but nothing else. Or number 1 and number 3. Especially with the manga section. Probably some people would steal them or something.

Same here, drives me nuts! Then I bet they say, "Well, hardly anyone reads this series, so no point replacing those books," but people probably aren't reading it because they don't have it all!

Exactly! Or they stop replacing them because they're tired of all the kids coming in to read them XD

I am reading The Spook's Revenge (The Last Apprentice / Wardstone Chronicles #13). I'm still reading pretty slow though.

I managed to read quite a few books over the last couple of weeks. I'm now reading physical books again, but I also had some book downloads on my phone and free kindle books that I'm working through on the train.

I'm reading True History by Lucian of Samosta (a hilarious fantasy satire), the Art of Character by David Corbett (I wish the fist 40 pages weren't so boring), and Metro 2033 by Drimtry Glukhovsky (apocalyptic dystopias are not my setting but I like the author). reading is going really slowly because in each of the books there's something that makes them not "mine" but if I take a 4th book, something that's closer to my taste, there's 100% chance that I'll just finish it first and be back to a combo of those 3 XD
on a side note, is anyone subscribed to any book boxes? I've been toying with the idea and researching subscriptions available but is it worth it?
