*squee!* my local library “LIKES” me! :D


omgosh my friendlies! I was goofing off on my facebook page the other day (click HERE if you wanna see it) when I noticed my number of “likes” had jumped! It’s always a bit of a thrill when I see a friend takes interest in my page, or someone new tags along for the ride.

But this one, omgosh, I did a combo *squee-happydance* that rivaled the likes of Snoopy and Bobby Hill* combined, hehehe! :lol:

The DENVER PUBLIC LIBRARY  “likes” my facebook author page! :D  

hehe! I remember how uber-bouncy I was when they added FANGTALES to their stacks, the YA vampire anthology featuring my short story, SANCTUARY. And now, yup! I’m going all nerd-girl again because to me, being a young adult author and having your local library “like” you is like, omgosh, the coolest! 8-)

This here is a pic of what I see when I walk up to my library. Yup! that is a sculpture of a GIANT red chair with a horse standing on it – cue the spools to my imagination, we’ve just entered storyland, hehehe!

I love my library! See, if I had all the money in the world I would buy all the books, and if I had all the money I would have tons of shelves to hold all my precious’, hehehe! *insert gollum garbles here*

But, since I don’t have unlimited funds, that’s where my local library comes in. Sometimes I walk in there and feel like it’s my personal book vault, one that I just happen to share with a few thousand or so others, hehehe! Really though, where else can you try a book out before you buy it? Sure, I have my list of authors who’s work I adore and find myself willing to purchase their latest and greatest without hesitation or buyer’s remorse because I know I’ll get my money’s worth in a book I’m going to read over and over again. Yup, I’m a re-reader my friendlies, hehe! But! For those where I’m not sure or the reviews seem too good to be true, that’s when I take a stroll down to 14th and Broadway and walk away with books stacked from my bellybutton to my chin. :)

So tell me my friendlies, do you buy all the books, hehehe! Are you a fan of your local library, too? :)
