I haven't been to the library in a few years and I went last week to get a few Children's Book for a post I am working on for next month. I have NEVER walked into the children's section in my local library. Sad but true. I don't have kids and I was never looking for kids books. But I had such fun! in there and got a few great books and graphic novels. I think I will be adding more children books and graphic novels to my reading this year. I finished this stack and I am going to go get a few more (stacks). Reviews to come soon too.
Second trip (sorry the picture is not to clear)
