12!
It's much better then last year where I only read five books.

^I made this sign. :) A year from today, my public library closed down because of lack of funds. So we had a rally/funeral/memorial service for our library today. A group of people and kids march down our downtown area and up to the courthouse front steps. Reporters from the local news, radio and paper were there. The newspaper that was doing the story could send out a photographer, so I got to be the "photographer" I took pictures and I read a poem I wrote about the library closing. So I might appear on the local news, which is weird and cool at the same time. And here's the poem I wrote: Destruction of a Library World of Words, Their time is ending. On the shelves they sigh a bitter sigh. Why should people cry? Only words on paper Behind brick walls Why do I sigh, This humble cry? Why do the words mean so much to me? How can people not feel what I feel? About an old building that smells like old paste That binds together beautiful words In the arms of ancient paper Old...
Oh, you poor thing. Go to the library right now. :)
ReplyDeleteYes. Library. Or bookstore. Though the library is cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI've stopped reading once school starts. But one of my classes forces me to read novels.
Sadly, my library is broken. I'm actually pleased that I even was able to read 12 books this year. I could have just as easily read none. Someday my library will be fixed again and then I will be sure to get my quota back to something like a hundred.
