Top Ten Tuesday: Books I currently have out from the library

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. There is no set theme this week and so today I am sharing the books that I currently have out of the library. Our library system is still closed because we are still in lockdown, so they keep on extending the return date. At the moment the return date is due to be 31 October but that could be extended further depending on what happens. 

The Opal Dragonfly by Julian Leatherdale - I read this author's first book a few months ago and I liked it so requested this one. I intend to read his last book too.

Tsarina by Ellen Alpsten - This was reviewed a lot a couple of months ago and it sounds so good. I requested it from the library straight away

The Heirloom Garden by Viola Shipman - I saw this mentioned a few times and knew I wanted to read it!

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi - I saw this mentioned on a few Top Ten Tuesday posts over a few weeks so decided I needed to read it myself

Ambulance Girls at War by Deborah Burrows - This is the the third book in the Ambulance Girls trilogy

Those Who Are  Loved by Victoria Hislop - I really enjoyed some books by Victoria Hislop years ago but it has been a long time since I read one.

The Year the Maps Changed by Danielle Binks - This is a middle grade book but I have heard good things about it.

The Poppy Wife by Caroline Scott - I saw this on someone's blog somewhere and it prompted me to request it from the library, but I can't remember where or when.

Rosewater & Soda Bread by Marsha Mehran - This is the last book that I borrowed from the library before it closed that I haven't read yet, so I want to read it before the library opens again

Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown - This is the current Cook the Books bookclub choice, I am about half way through this at the moment.

Sunday Salon: A visit to the State Library

Today I went to visit the State Library of Victoria. They have an exhibition on called Gusto! which is a look at some of the food history of Victoria. While I am not going to talk too much about that today (probably will post about it next week for Weekend Cooking) I thought I would share some photos I took at the library today!

Even better, later I realised that this could be my post for this month's Where in the World meme which asks us to talk about our libraries. The meme is hosted by Kelly, Trish and Lisa so if you fancy sharing something about your library, head over to their blogs for all the details. Whilst this isn't the library that I use every week, it is one that I do enjoy visiting when I go to the city.

Mirror of the World Exhibition

There is an exhibition which showcases the production of books from medieval to modern times. There are books on display which are hundreds of years old, and a couple that are worth millions of dollars. It is always a joy to spend time looking at the various manuscripts. The photos I took today are from the more modern facets including books that changed the world, Penguin classics and the advent of pulp fiction.

The Changing Face of Victoria 

Another of the exhibitions is a series of documents and photos showing the history of Victoria from British settlement through to the modern day. It also includes a display on the infamous bushranger Ned Kelly, the major component of which is the suit of armour that Ned was wearing the day he was finally captured.

This photo, taken in the 1950s, from the rural life photos amused! I don't know if you can read it but at the very bottom it says Don't Steal This One. Presumably he has had trouble with sign stealers previously.

Ned Kelly's armour

There have been quite a few movies made telling the Kelly story.

Outside

Sir Redmond Barry was instrumental in the foundation of the library. He is probably more well known as the judge who sentenced Ned Kelly to death!

I really love the 'ruins' that are embedded in the footpath outside the library!

I have no idea why but there were lots and lots of decoarated elephants all round Melbourne today! They were lots of fun!

Library Loot: January 19 to 25

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Marg from The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!

Libraries made the news this week, not for the book that was returned 30 years late or anything like that, but rather because of the actions of a group of library members in Milton Keynes in the UK. One of their library branches is threatened with closure and so the library members protested by checking out every single book in the library! Yes, even those obscure books that no one ever actually reads!

Also in the news, the #savelibraries campaign on Twitter. When @MarDixon asked people to fill in the blank of the statement "Libraries are important because...", she couldn't see that the hashtag would very quickly trend around the world, and that authors like Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood amongst many, many others would fill in the blanks! To see just some of the tweets, click here.

I have mentioned before that I am lucky in that I live in an area where the library system is being expanded (there is a new branch being opened 10 minutes from home this year), but I am very conscious that there are many other library systems in the world where that isn't the case!

I supported my library this week by taking out the following items:

Tale of the Blue Bird by Nii Ayikwei Parkes - I read a review of this over at A Striped Armchair, and it sounds like something I would like to read. I was a bit surprised when it was available so I snapped it up straight away!

Children of the Storm by Elizabeth Peters - I was reminiscing the other day about how much I enjoy this series, when I suddenly realised that I haven't actually read one of these books for ages!

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami - I don't think I have actually done my sign up post yet, but I am planning on participating in the Murakami challenge this year. At this stage it will only be at the 1 book read level, but who knows, it could well be more!

The Black Pearl by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles - This time, I am definitely going to read this book!

Angelique in Love by Sergeanne Golon - When I started reading this series my library had all the books. Now they have taken them out of the catalogue so I had to get this one through inter library loan.

You can share your Library Loot over at Claire's blog this week!

Problem? What problem?

Yesterday afternoon at approximately 4.30pm, I went to the library and picked up all the books that were there waiting for me. A couple of hours later I was checking my account for the due dates so I could add it to my spreadsheet to help me keep track of the due dates and renewals when I noticed that there was already a couple of more books to pick up.

Today at approximately 1.30pm, I went to the library to pick up those books. An hour later, there were already two more books there ready to be picked up.

No really, my library list is definitely still under control. Maybe, just a little bit, still under control??


Today I started reading Angelique and the Sultan by Sergeanne Golon on the train. No problem there either, until you see the cover, which is, shall we say, a little sultry! A lovely 60s style sex kitten pose on a book set in the 17th century! Excellent!

Library woes

A few weeks ago I was quite ruthless and returned more than 20 books to the library because I just had so many books out, and I was feeling very much under pressure in terms of due dates, and not reading the books that I own.

What I was hoping was that would mean that I would not need to be returning books to the library unread, but it doesn't seem that that plan has quite worked out as I anticipated.

Today I will be returning The Vizard Mask by Diana Norman without having even opened the book, and also The Mystery of Glass that I have read the first 20 pages of, but it is just not possible for me to finish before it needs to be returned, mainly because I can't renew it as someone else has requested it. The sad thing is that I really want to read both of them, particularly the Norman book as I do enjoy reading her books.

Library Loot

Alessandra and Eva both came up with a great idea - a weekly meme about your visits to the library. Now, they are planning on jointly hosting, and give that I am such a regular library visitor I thought that this is one weekly meme that I can definitely join in on.

Having said that, I haven't been to the library this week at all! I did think that I would post the list of books that I have currently got out for this week and then from now on I will just post the week's details. I used to do a library crazy post on an irregular basis where I posted these lists, but I haven't done one for a while.

I always have a LOT of books out from the library so please don't be shocked! Here are the ones I have out:

I love my library...I really do

Except for when they renew all the books that I have out that didn't need renewing. What does that mean? Well it means that instead of having 10 books due back by 2 September I now have 27 due back!

She was chatting away to me and then said, oh I have renewed all of your books and I gasped and said Oh no! Unfortunately there was no way to cancel it once it was done!

There is no way known that I am going to get through all of those, especially given that I have intentions of watching lots and lots of Olympics action.

Manual Labour

This week's Booking Through Thursday question:

Writing guides, grammar books, punctuation how-tos . . . do you read them? Not read them? How many writing books, grammar books, dictionaries–if any–do you have in your library?

Well this is an easy answer! None! If I want to use a dictionary I go online, and I don't have any writing books or grammar books at all!


In other news, I joined another library today. Back in March my work moved into a new premises, and it just so happens that there is a second hand bookstore about 50 metres away, and there is a library about 4 or 500 metres away. So far I have resisted going into the second hand bookstore.

As it so happens, I have been looking at the library's online catalogue and it turns out that they have a few books that I really want to read but that I can't get through my normal library. I will still continue with my normal one as the main one, but for the odd book I am intending to use this new one. So that makes a total of four libraries that I am a member of, but I really don't go to two of them anymore because they are too far away.

Library Lovers Meme

A new meme from Becky.

February is Library Lovers Month, so to celebrate I thought I'd try to start a new meme going around about the library. I know one went around last year. I answered it. But I'll try to think of new questions. I'd really appreciate it if you'd play along :)

How do you plan on celebrating Library Lovers month? I don't know about celebrating Library Lovers Month.....perhaps I will pledge not to return anything else late for the rest of the month and to visit more than once a week!

How often do you accidentally spell library as 'libary' when you're in a hurry? You know, this isn't one of my regular typos. I do have plenty of others though!

What is the most amount of books you've ever had checked out at one time? Not so long ago I had 53 items out from my library. Now I am down to only 45. Go me! I think it was on Danielle's blog I saw a comment from someone that said they were only allowed to borrow four items at a time. I don't know how I would cope if my library had that rule. I guess I would just have to read more books that I own. Each time I get towards the next milestone in terms of numbers of books out I sweat it a little bit thinking that I have got to the point where the librarian is going to say...and don't you think you are just being a little greedy now, but I haven't got to that point yet apparently.

What is the longest you've ever gone without visiting the library? I went for years without visiting a library. I think it was probably 10 or 11 years. When I first started working I bought every book I read - you know how it is when you are young and frivolous and you basically have almost no financial commitments. Then I went through a period of 7 years where I barely read a book at all. Once I did start reading again I started buying books as well, but things have changed substantially now, so I try to control my buying a bit more and borrow the vast majority of the books that I read. I just can't afford to buy 200+ books a year.

What is the biggest fine you've ever had? Err - at one stage I had a fine of about $20 or so after I temporarily mislocated a book (and blamed the gremlins). Sometimes it gets up to $10 or so but that is usually because I have extended a game online and now have to pay it. Now my son on the other hand has a fine of about $32 at the moment because it took him months to return some books. Is it wrong to blame the 9 year old for that?

When you go to the library, do you plan ahead and make a list? Or do you browse?

I make extensive use of my library's online catalogue, and usually have requested all the books that I want, so I go in to the holds section pick them up, and then leave again, although I do usually make a detour past the books that they have on displays and the new books displays...just to see if there is something interesting there or not.

Have you ever been shushed or hushed by a librarian? Not that I can think of.

What is the worst (against-the-rules) thing you've ever done in the library? I can't think of anything particularly bad - except for maybe losing my cool with the aforementioned child when he cracked the sulks because I wouldn't borrow another game for him.

What's the worst thing you've ever done to a library book? I was going to be all righteous and say that I take pretty good care of my library books, but then tonight I was driving along and had to stop suddenly and the drink of the front seat fell over and spilt on my bag...and on the side of my library book! Whoops.

Have you ever had a "favorite" librarian? Not that I can recall. There are certain ladies at my library that I prefer to be served by, but other than that not really.

If you could change one thing about your library it would be... I am generally pretty happy with my library. If there is anything I guess I would like to see a bit more interactivity - maybe a board or something where you could get reader recommendations, or a little more adaptability on the website. Oh, and could they please hurry up and order those books that I am waiting for. If they look at their website stats they will see the same searches over and over again...those are me! Oh, and they could do with a little more expansion of the romance section!

In closing, I found this cartoon over at Booklust, and I thought it was very fitting to post with this meme. Thanks to Patricia Storms for allowing me to use it.

Summer Reads 2007

The State Library of Victoria seems to run a new program nearly once every year, and they have just announced the new program which is called The Summer Read. The programs focuses on a selection of 20 book either set in Victoria or written by Victorian authors (last years was called Reading Victoria: 20 Novels Set Close to Home). The good thing about this type of program is that it at last brings to my attention a whole heap of authors that I probably wouldn't otherwise hear about.

The books this time are:

Company by Max Barry
A wonderful satire of corporate culture. If you like The Office this novel is for you.

Ron McCoy’s Sea of Diamonds by Gregory Day
Passion for the Australian coastline and mixed blessings of development.

The Lost Dog by Michelle de Kretser
Mystery and romance moving between current-day Australia and mid-20th-century India.

Chain of Evidence by Garry Disher
The latest DI Challis Peninsula crime novel.

The Beginner’s Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize by Peter Doherty
An inspiring account by Nobel prize winner Peter Doherty.

Broken by Ilsa Evans
Some things can never be fixed once they are broken.

Delinquent Angel by Diana Georgeff
Born secretly and adopted into a high-profile Victorian family.

Well Done, Those Men by Barry Heard
Experiences of life before, during and after the Vietnam War.

In My Skin by Kate Holden
Memoir of an educated, everyday girl arriving in the world of drugs and prostitution.

Diamond Dove by Adrian Hyland
Humorous narrative juxtaposed against a murder mystery in Central Australia’s Indigenous communities.

Dark Roots by Cate Kennedy
A collection of award-winning short stories.

Spiral Road by Adib Khan
Secrets unfold during a visit to a dying father in Bangladesh.

The Unexpected Elements of Love by Kate Legge
A story about balancing career and multi-generational family life.

Cricket Kings by William McInnes
Set in the western suburbs, this story is about much more than cricket.

Landscape of Farewell by Alex Miller
Everything changes when a feisty young Australian Aboriginal academic attends a lecture in Germany.

Dodging the Bull by Paul Mitchell
Strongly written, socially aware short stories set in Australia and abroad.

Patriot Act by James Phelan
A must-read for fans of the political thriller.

El Dorado by Dorothy Porter
A unique verse novel telling the story of a serial child-killer stalking the streets of Melbourne.

Unpolished Gem by Alice Pung
A warm family memoir of immigration and coming of age in multicultural Footscray.

Hoi Polloi by Craig Sherborne
A humorous autobiography about growing up in a New Zealand pub.

Of these books and authors, I have read a book by Garry Disher before, and have heard really good things about Unpolished Gem. This is a book that I will be reading in the next couple of weeks. Other than that I haven't really read any of them, or heard of some of them! I have to say The Lost Dog sounds great!

There is also a display on at the State Library which I might make an effort to go and see as well! Maybe!

The down side of library books

There is a down side to not buying books.

As a result of the blog war that I mentioned in my last post, I was thinking it would be really nice to skim through both books and just read some of my favourite passages. Only problem is that I borrowed both of those books from the library so I don't have them!

Darn it!

Isn't this always the way?

I've just checked my library account, and I have 8....yes 8 books to pick up!

Library crazy

It's been ages since I have put up a list of all the books I have out from the library at the moment, so when I saw Danielle's list over at A Work in Progress I thought that I might post my list! For a little while there I had it down to only 35 books out, but now I am back up over the 40 mark! Whoops!

Am I kidding myself?

I am trying to convince myself that my library list is now a bit more under control. Well...it is if you only look at the books I have on request! There is only one of the 11 books on request that the library already owns...the rest are books on order. Can't get much better than that surely.


Pardon? What's that you asked? How many library books do I have out at the moment? Well.....45......but we don't want to talk about that right now!
