Yesterday was library day. Every Wednesday afternoon I take my kids and the children in my daycare to our local library to pick out a new book or two. Every time we go I end up finding a book for myself too. This past week I read Gap Creek, one of those books I had wanted to read for a long time but never got around to doing so. When I saw it at the library I had to grab it; even though I have a bunch of books at home waiting to be read.

So anyway, back to yesterday. I was returning Gap Creek and decided I was NOT taking out any new books as we are leaving on vacation soon, I wouldn’t be home to return them, and I have a bunch of books at home waiting to be read. Did I mention that? So we find books for all of the children and walk up to the desk to check them out and what do I spy out of the corner of my eye? The Da Vinci Code. I have been dying to read that book. So many people have told me how good it was and how I have to read it and then yesterday – there it was – beckoning to me “Julie – take me home – read me – renew me – take me to the beach with you.” So I did.

What? Don’t books talk to you too?
