Today's Library Haul.

My name is Courtney, and I have a book addiction. (Hi, Courtney...)

I went to the library today. I could not stop picking books off the shelf. When I had left the fiction section, my arms were groaning. I checked out, and hauled them in my little library-designated tote bag down to the Teen section. Then I got another small stack of books and stuffed them in with the other books. Then I ran up two flights of stairs to catch a train. Ouch.

These are all of my picks for the next couple of weeks. I will probably finish reading Divergent by Veronica Roth in the next day or two, and then next weekend I will be leaving to go to Michigan for a week. It's my final Spring Break! So of course, I needed reading materials for the 9+ hour bus trip there, and the time that will be spent there.

Why did I get so many? Besides the fact that I have a problem, there will be at least a few of these books that I won't be able to get into for whatever reason (not in the mood, don't like it as much as I thought I would, etc), so I like to have a wide variety to fall back on! As you can see, I've got a pretty good variety of Young Adult and 'regular' fiction, and then there's a memoir snuck in there that I've been dying to read by Pamela des Barres.

Have you read any of these? Is there one I should start with first? Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets this many books at the library?
