I have quite a few library books out now. I always like to have options, so I tend to always have a bunch of books out. I also like to read a few pages of a new book to see if it grabs me. If you’ve read any of these, please help me determine which should go higher on the priority list, or vice versa, which books I can take back. Here are the ones I have checked out:
