Seeing as I don’t have an infinite book budget, I’m a huge proponent of libraries. So it’s not that surprising that I was downright gleeful when I discovered that Stephani from Caught Read Handed and Amy from Read What I Like were hosting a library-oriented reading challenge for the month of April. It’s called the #ReadingMyLibrary Challenge, and all you have to do is read a library book and blog/comment about it! Considering I picked up two new library books just before hearing about the challenge, I was more than prepared. 🙂
For my challenge, I’ll be reading and discussing the Lockwood & Co. series by Jonathan Stroud (that’s right—the same guy who wrote the Bartimaeus books!). I haven’t read much YA or kid lit lately, so I decided to pick up the first two books in this series after I saw them on my Good Reads recommendation list. The remaining books aren’t available at my local libraries, but I’ll try to track them down through other connected libraries in my system.
Check back next week for my discussion of Lockwood & Co. #1: The Screaming Staircase!

Welcome to the challenge! I’m so glad you’re participating. I’ve heard good things about these books, but I haven’t read them, so I’ll be looking forward to your thoughts!
Thanks! I found out about the challenge through Cristina at Girl in the Pages just after I got back from my weekly library trip. It was too perfect to pass up! 🙂
So happy you decided to join us! Should be a great month of celebrating libraries.
I’m so glad you and Stephani came up with the idea to do this. I’m a library junkie, so this is the perfect excuse to borrow as many books as I want. 🙂
[…] April is just about over, which means it’s time for my final post in the #ReadingMyLibrary blogging challenge. For details about the challenge, you can check out my challenge sign up post. […]
