Oh how I love the library! What did you get to read?
I need to get into a good book again!
I too heart my library. I can spend hours there and I do when I'm off work for the summer. My biggest regret is not keeping up with reading at all as it always keeps my mind off the complications of life.
Mmmmmmm, the library.....
I'm so with you, babe.
I was telling someone the other day that I can't possibly leave Target without buying at least one or two (likely 4-5) books. I have a huge stack of things to read and it rarely gets very small.
I love reading as well...and get books to read from hubby's office..coz it stocks a lot of good fiction...

Here from ICLW :) I love to read too. :) I love my library so much. :)
I'm so sorry you've had a rough time with your journey. We also have had to use donor sperm and I know it's a hard decision.
Good luck sweetie! (((HUGS)))
I love reading too! Right now I've got 2 going, and I have a pile as high as my night stand wating to be read. : )
I drive HUSBAND crazy because I collect books the way frat boys drink...
I read everything I can get my hands on! And I've been totally bummed because I can never find anyone to share their love of books with me! I just moved to the DC area and have 0 friends and seriously bummed that people don't read much anymore.
It's refreshing to find someone who reads as voraciously as I do. And maybe one day we infertile in womb but fertile in mind can be great book friends.
