Angie, I totally agree! I don’t know if this link will work or not, but here’s my Flickr set of pictures of my library. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25843842@N04/sets/72157608914237383/ The romance books are on a nicer shelf now that I still haven’t taken a picture of and I’m building two more tiny bookcases this week.

Jennifer, thank you! And may I say it is not weird in the slightest you bought a house based on its ability to house your books. With all they give us, they deserve a little room of their own. I would love to see a picture.

Wow, I love your library. When I was house hunting, one of the absolute musts was a room for my books. So I bought a house with an oddly shaped spare room and it houses most of my books.

I love that you have a lending policy and a group of teenagers who borrow your books. They are so lucky to have you!

Rebs, thank you! And I completely agree. It’s a series for all time.

Love you’re views on YA reading. The song of the lioness series my all time favorite reads.

Orannia, yay for someday libraries in oneday houses! And please drop by anytime. As Ana’s review of the series indicates, the MWT books are worthy of a bump up in the TBR.

Michelle, thank you! I confess I love that they feel comfortable (and want) to drop by and check out books. And you’re welcome in my library anytime.

Angie – that was one fabulous post. I am so glad to hear the kids in your neighborhood are taking advantage of all that amazing book knowledge in your head!! I’m competely envious of your library however (even if it is by your washing machine);).

WOW Angie! That is one amazing post (and an amazing library – you’ve inspired me to make building my library top of my list [when I can eventually buy a house] ) Having someone like you to talk books with when you’re a teenager must be amazing – I know I would have loved it!

And I’ll so be visiting your blog, because I love YA and there are so many books I have yet to discover (MWT being a good example!)

Lenore, it’s one of life’s pleasures, isn’t it?

Christine, wow! Thank you so much. I would love for you to fold laundry and talk books with me. And I cannot believe how awesome your daughter and her friends are for making an Outsiders-inspired team at school! I’m having a difficult time coming up with something cooler than that. What was your daughter’s team name? I will definitely be passing that story on. And that is just how I felt when I read it. Swept away. I had never heard of the book before and found it on a used bookstore shelf in San Antonio, TX when I was 13. It was a perfect reading experience.

Oops. I wasn’t finished with that one thought.

*How great is that how swept away they were and how a piece of literature could affect them so profoundly?
