Bi0nic got bored...

...so she went to check out some books...

(Apparently today's posts are brought to you by the letter "B"!)

I thought it might give me something to do, so I headed over to the local library and signed up. I haven't been a member of a library since I was a kid...and even then I don't think I checked out all that much. Not to say I don't read because I do...but usually I just borrow stacks of novels from my Mom or buy them cheap at Costco (or expensive at the airport).

Normally I read more fluffy stuff...the Shopaholic series, or Janet Obradovich stuff, things like that. I can burn through a book a week if I read every night....sometimes more in the Summer because I like to sit outside and read.

Anyway, I feel that I've spent too much time staring at the TV since we moved to Halifax, so I thought I'd try to find some more reading to do. Right now I'm working on The Kite Runner that DBF got me for Valentine's Day (kudos to him for remembering I had a post-it note floating around with this title on it for ages) and I'm really enjoying it. Good story and well written. Easy to read and enjoyable enough to keep me coming back for at least an hour each night. I'd like to find more like that.

However, the library was overwhelming and I had no idea where to start. I haven't a clue of any other books I might like to read. So that's where you all come in.... please leave suggestions of books I should check out. Now that they are free, even if I don't like them there is no harm done. So let's see what you have to recommend.....
