I go in and make them check in the books in front of me, so I can hear the little peep noise that means the book has been checked in. That's one of many reasons I seldom go to the library. But, I'm in purge mode and I tend to browse while I'm there. Discipline? I need some of that!<br /><br />Kathy,<br /><br />It really depends on the book, whether I mind predictability. If I'm invested in the characters or enjoying the book so much I can't bear to put it aside, a little bit of predictability doesn't bother me too much. That's a good thought, though. Christmas books are really supposed to be comfort reads, in my humble opinion, so I suppose it can be a good thing for them to be predictable. I'd never thought about that!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-89850391692287908702010-11-08T18:24:20.026-06:002010-11-08T18:24:20.026-06:00I generally don't like a predictable book, but...I generally don't like a predictable book, but it doesn't bother me at all for holiday books - in fact, I find it rather comforting.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-80978960054455633362010-11-08T17:39:50.024-06:002010-11-08T17:39:50.024-06:00I drove by the library today and returned the one ...I drove by the library today and returned the one and only book I had checked out (for a book club read). I forced myself to drop it in the outside drop box and did not go inside. It just about killed me. But I know I'd grab a bunch of books and they'd wind up sitting on a table for 3 weeks. It's not easy being disciplined, is it?!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.com
