the library rocks!

So, yesterday I got an email from my local public library branch that says a book I put on hold many months ago is finally available to me. So I hope no one will mind if I put Edgar Sawtelle to the side for a little bit, so I can read this highly coveted book from the library. Edgar is going well, I am over 2/3 through and it is getting really interesting. I don't want to stop right now, but I only have American Wife: a novel by Curtis Sittenfeld for 3 weeks and I cannot renew it because so many other people are waiting for it as well.

I know this breaks my rule about no buying books or borrowing more since I have so many already in my house, but this book will have to be grandfathered in since I put it on hold last year! Funny how I can rationalize just about anything when it is something I want to do, like having ice cream for lunch:)

Have you heard of this book? American Wife: a novel by Curtis Sittenfeld is supposed to be a fictionalized account of a first lady and her road to the White House, roughly based on Laura Bush. I am very interested in reading it and hope that it holds out to be a great read. I'll keep you posted! If you have read it, without spoiling anything, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

BTW I added the image of the book all by myself. Yay me! My husband is smirking at me right now since he usually has to do these things for me.
