from the library can get expensive! I last went to the library over a year ago, took out some books and then somehow never returned them! Today i bit the bullet and went to find out exactly how much this little faux pas was going to cost me! The conversation went something like this -

Librarian: Hello, haven't seen you for a while!

Me: *incoherent mumble*  might owe you some money  *mutter mutter*

Librarian: I'll have a look on the computer. *a bit of typing later* Hmm, yes you do. It works out to £111, did you want to pay that today?

Me: *on the floor in a state of shock*

Anyway, to cut a long story short, she worked a bit of magic and i now owe £59 which i can pay in installments, my library card is reinstated, Grandad got a new library card and between us, we can take out up to 40 items! I was very restrained today, only took out 2 books - Mortal Fear and 24 Hours both by Greg Iles - but i did take advantage of the library sale shelves! Well, who can resist 6 books for a quid? 5 books for me and 1 for Grandad :)

Currently reading 2 books - Dinner at Deviants Palace by Tim Powers & Once Upon a Time (She Said) by Jane Yolen, both superb!
