Carol's Notebook

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about about library company… Who, if anyone usually accompanies you to the library? Is it somewhere you go alone? Or is it a regular outing with family or friends? Which do you prefer? Most of the time I go to the library by myself, whether it be to check out books, return them, or just sit and read for a while in peace and quiet. Usually I go once a week, but sometimes it's more, depending on my mood. I do like when Amber comes with me though, just because she always finds a stack of books to read. She may not get to them all before they need returned, but that's beside the point. And she's old enough now to go off to the kids section without me having to tag along and we can meet up when we're both done looking. I never go with any other family or friends besides Amber.

Suggested by Callista83: Do you read celebrity memoirs? Which ones have you read or do you want to read? Which nonexistent celebrity memoirs would you like to see? I don't read celebrity memoirs often. I've only read two in the last two years, Born Standing Up by Steve Martin and Lucky Man by Michael J. Fox, which I reviewed earlier this week. I didn't love either of them. As far as which ones I would like to read, Anglina Jolie's Notes from My Travels might be interesting. I don't know if Jim Henson ever wrote a memoir, but his would be one I'd love to have. What about you? Join in at Booking through Thursday....
