Wednesday is Library Day

I like Wednesdays. Wednesday means the week is more than half over, the weekend a little bit closer. But more importantly for me, on Wednesdays my local library is open later, until 7pm, which means I get the chance to stop in at the end of the day. I find this the perfect antidote to a busy/tedious day at work. Nothing lifts my spirits more. I love the feeling of hurrying home with more books in bag than I left the house with, more stories waiting to be explored.

At present, I have two books on loan and two reservations pending.

• A Song For Ella Grey by David Almond. I am just about to leap into this one. It sounds amazing, though I confess it was the beautiful cover that first drew me to it.
• The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. I have heard lots of Good Things about this one, so I'm very eager to see if it lives up to the hype (I think it will).
• Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mendel. I know I have already said it, but I can't wait for this one to arrive. I have seen so many great reviews and it does sound exactly my cup of tea. I'm now very near the top of the waiting list for this one - yay!
• Hallow City by Ransom Riggs. This is the sequel to Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children which I read at the end of 2013 (reviewed here). Although I found the first book flawed, I nonetheless really enjoyed it and can't wait to see how the story continues.

That little stack should hopefully keep me busy for a while. What library books do you have out at the moment, and are there any you're excitedly waiting to arrive? Oh! And while I'm on the topic of libraries - don't forget Saturday 7th February is National Libraries Day here in the UK.
