And another one bites the dust, or how blogger messed up my morning.

So I had written a post about five minutes ago and now get to rewrite it because it refused to save before the blogger app crashed... Slightly frustrated because I really should be getting out for my run and then running to the library and the grocery store but what can ya do. I might just leave it as is and write what I had to say in my post I planned for later today so that I can get all of my errands done today but we shall see. Anyway back to the original planned for this morning.

So another one is done, I finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth, it is the second book in her Divergent trilogy. And I must say I am really enjoying her writing style. It is just that her character developement really pulls you into the world that she creates. And to be honest I really can't wait to see what happens next with Tris and Four. I am shocked that Victoria puts so many obsticles in their path and they, especially Tris, are able to bear it without having some serious mental breakdowns. I am also shocked at how quickly I read through both Divergent and Insurgent, three days or less for both. I know it would have taken me longer to read them if I had them on my e-reader, but that is just because it isn't the same experience that I get from physically turning a page. I get drawn more into the reality of a book when I can physically have I am not sure on why. Even as I know it is true. Which is why I am hoping that the library has a copy of the third book, I know I will buy it eventually I just do not have the funds at the moment and I really don't like asking for help from my family or bf.  but somehow I doubt that they will have the copy.

It would appear out here the libraries are run by the township they are in, not by the city or county they fall under. Which is completely different from back home, in colorado all of the libraries fall into districts and the districts distribute the funds equally within the population. So say one library survives more people on an average day they would get a higher allocation of the funds that the district has. Here I don't know if that is how it is done. The library in my township is located in a trailer. The only library in a trailer back home was the mobile library and that serviced areas like Falcon and Callahan I think, I never had an opportunity to use the mobile library because of the libraries being on a district plan if a person using one library needed a book that another one had they just needed to request it and it would be delivered within the next 2-5 days. I miss my old library, it was right down the street from my parents house. I mean even the library at school was close to where I lived while I was in college. This one is about as far from my house as the library was from my grandmothers house in Lady Smilth, Wisconsin. But anyway I am rambling and I really should be changing into running clothes. Later everyone

Luv ya!
