Hello everyone! Continuing with the "Thoughts.." series, I've decided to do a "Thoughts at the Library" post, since a lot of insane thoughts pile through my head as I pile books into my arms at the library. I think most of us can relate to this, especially if you're a broke book hoarder like me.
Where's the YA section?
THERE'S LIKE 100s OF BOOKS HERE WHAT
*opens Goodreads on phone* This one's on my TBR, this one's not, BUT I CAN ADD IT.
*looks for author's name* THEY DON'T HAVE THE BOOK? How am I supposed to complete my monthly TBR? I'll have to spend money on a book now.
This book seems lame, it has a cool cover though. I'll take it.
I don't need all these. Meh they're free.
A BOOK NO ONE HAS REVIEWED? I can be the first one and be super cool. Yes.
I can take some nice pictures with this book.
hold up. THERE'S NO LIMIT TO HOW MANY BOOKS I CAN CHECK OUT. let's go crazy!
My arms are starting to hurt, they should really have carts in this place.
Me: *screams when I see book I want* Random girl: *side eye glances at me* What? People go crazy over books. You'd be like this if you saw Justin Bieber in public or something.
*looks at the back of a book, puts back on shelf* There's not enough books about dragons.
ANOTHER LOVE TRIANGLE, PLEASE.
*sees person picking up book I don't like* *stares in horror* *wants to stop them from making a huge mistake in their bookish life* *is too awkward*
*stares at pile of books* Do I really need all these books? Will I finish these all in the time I'm given? Haha, there's always renewal!
Librarian, staring at all my books: are you sure you can check out all these books? Me: Oh yeah! I'm like 80% I can fit all these in my mom's car...
There you have it! Let me know if you can relate to these!
Are you more of a book buying person or a library person? What things do you do at the library?
Thanks for reading,
Noor
dude, i live at the library in the summer.
ReplyDeletei love it so much.
i went in 2 weeks ago and i had 15 books to check out and the librarian very politely asked, "can you finish all those books in 3 weeks?" i almost laughed. i finished the books in 2 weeks. // and they were 300+ YA novels //
anyways i read read read a lot and i loved this post <3

Actually same like what. I'm so glad you enjoyed it Emily! xx
Delete*FRANTICALLY SIGNS A PETITION FOR MORE DRAGONS* Dragons are life. (Which is a bit awkward, since my husband hates them.)
ReplyDelete"Meh they're free" literally me omg.

*SIGNS PETITION WITH YOU* I'm not sure what my husband's opinion is on dragons. Draco?

Haha I experience that all the time Dani! Thank you for commentimg :) xx
DeleteI can totally relate to this, especially because both of my parents are librarians! While I think that we need more dragon books, I think that there a too many dragon books that are extremely cheesy and not enough actually good ones ♥

I LOVE THE LIBRARY! I get like, nearly all of my books from there, but the problem with my local library is they don't have many YA books, but i can hold books from librarys in towns near me. Also, have you ever been to a library book sale?
ReplyDeleteRose :3
*libraries
DeleteDarn, my library has a lot! You can come borrow mine xD I have actually, they're tons of fun and I got loads of heap books :D
DeleteI used to borrow out like 25 picture books from the library and then pretend to scan them and all that at home.
ReplyDeleteSAME. Except I did it with the books I had at home xD I would stick like sticky notes on them :P
DeleteYup. This is pretty much the same thing that happens to me at the library. Except whenever I am with a friend or a sibling I'm usually shoving books into their arms for them to read as well. :P
ReplyDeleteSame, I usually drag my friends to the library with me xD Thanks for commenting Bailey xx
Deletei'm DEFINETELY a library person
ReplyDeletehah same! Thanks for the comment! <3
Delete*QUICKLY SIGNS PETITION ALONG WITH ELLIE FOR MORE DRAGONS* Yes. We definitely need more dragons in books.
ReplyDeleteIn my library there's limit of six books per card, so I just use like three cards every time. The librarians are always like, "Will you be able to read all of those in 2 weeks?" It's hilarious cux then I'll all of them in one and a half. X)

DRAGONS. JUST DRAGONS.
DeleteYeah same, my librarian is so judgmental :P
Hah! This post was awesome Noor!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the, are you really getting all those, question. My whole family loves books, we have exceeded the library checkout limit before, and the limit is like 40 books!!
Attempted Motivation
That's a lot of books, my mom checks out like 20 per trip i swear xD Thank you for your comment :D xx
DeleteJam, our library doesn't have a limit..
Delete"they should really have carts in this place." Yes! They really should. I started laughing because it's so true. I try not to get an armload of books every time I go to the library. I'm a really slow reader. But I end up telling myself the same thing "there's always renewal!" XD Although if I don't like a book, I won't finish it so sometimes I don't even finish half the books I pick up.
ReplyDeleteBut I love books. I love just being around books. The library is the one of the best places on the planet.
I'm a eh reader but I don't gave time to read a lot :( but renewal is my best friend xD And I agree, being around books is like the best feeling.
DeleteThis post was the bst post ever! The Meh, they're free cracked me up!!!

Thanks Fiona! xx Your comments are always so sweet :)
DeleteI love libraries. Always loved the book sales. I would go with my sister and I would carry piles of used books. It is great when you search and find a book you have always wanted . Even better is a find of a book that completes a series you have. Unfortunately my library no longer has book sales. I enjoyed this post. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn

DeleteReading is very good habit.I used to go library.But now a days I'm not going.I have to go.

Oh my god yes!!! I've had every single one of these thoughts. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of new books so I love buying them, but I have very little money so libraries are awesome! If I REALLY adore a certain book (like read-it-a-1000-times adore) I buy it, bu otherwise free stuff wins. :)
I'm more of a library person. Even though, I get like
