Levels:
- Dewey Decimal: Read 12 books
- Thrifty Reader: Read 24 books
- Overdrive Junkie: Read 36 books
- Library Addict: Read 48 books
- Library Card on Fire: Read 60+ books
This is my third year in the Library Love Challenge. My goal is 48 books, the Library Addict level. I read and listen to quite a few but don’t always review them all here on the blog. It was reduced in number by my reviewing more new release audiobooks and a trial of Kindle Unlimited. I have a total of 62. So my Library Card is on Fire!
I use my library extensively for all formats. I take the opportunity to read or listen to earlier books in a series when I am catching up, to try out new series, or for non-fiction research. I do the shortest reviews and the least reviews on the blog for this challenge. So while I recorded the challenge on the blog, it wasn’t very accurate.

I can't really remember any time when I wasn't reading. I LOVE books and what they give me. It's an opportunity to learn new things, see new places,live different emotions in a "safe" way. It lets me live in a new world.
I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

I hardly ever use my library anymore. I want to start getting some audios from them but when I went in asked how to they just gave me a piece of paper with instructions I didn’t understand and she didn’t know how either. This was several years ago and I am sure it’s a lot easier now.
Yes it took me a bit to figure it out. I started out using CDs in the car and a boombox. Now it’s all on my phone, very easy. I love it.
WOW your library is on FIRE. Great job on saving and using your library.
Thank you! It is working out just great for me.
Make sure to stop by and enter your post in the mid-year linky and get in on the giveaway ^_^!
Thanks I haven’t done my June challenge updates because moving.
