I Should Treat Them Better

First, a disclaimer: I don't want anyone to panic or feel like I'm all in a lather over here. I'm not. I'm perfectly balanced and happy with life. Pinky promise.

The other day I started turning my house upside down looking for a book. A particular book. And so far I've been unable to find it. The only conclusion I've arrived at is that I've lent it out to someone. I do that. I enjoy doing that. I've said, and I'll continue to say, "the Amy Jones library welcomes you!" My only problem is I'm a horrible librarian. I love my books but I'm not sure I take adequate care of their well-being. I have sent them out into the world to circulate but I haven't necessarily taken steps to ensure their safe return.

This librarian is, therefore, turning over a new leaf. This morning I purchased a lovely little book whose sole purpose will be record-keeping. Call it my little black book of books (though, by choice, it is not black). My goal is to write down the location of all my beloved tomes.

That being said: I'm hereby requesting information. Not books--yet--just information. If you have one (or more) books from the Amy Jones library, please comment and let me know what you have. I'll record the information and we'll be set.

I really do, however, want to find this one:

If you have it...and aren't in the middle of it...can I beg it back?

Catching Fire. It's good stuff and I'm almost finished. :)

I have your "Wizard of Oz" and we are loving every second of it. Haven't heard of the 13th tale...but if you ever find it I'd love to borrow. :)

P.S. Totally starting my own catalog tonight because I have about 6 books out there circulating right now...what a great idea!

P.P.S. If you want to start another little log...I do have your Crazy 8 pattern and square quilting ruler. I will return them shortly! You're the best!

I can't wait to see how many books you have out.
Can I get a library list from you? Post all of your favorites on the book blog, please. I need ideas.
Your book loving friend,
Rochelle

I have that one...you gave it to me...but, I think it's mine. Is that right?

Yup, Becca...that one's yours. :)
