I renewed my library card today. I haven’t been to our library in about eight years. (I had a $12.50 fine as well as a $17.95 fee for a lost book 8O , although I know where the book is and I’ll be taking it back soon.) I figured renewing my library card would be a good thing financially (maybe not with the fines :? ) if I’m going to read all the books on my list. The list has grown to over 300 books now! I keep getting recommendations. It’s great! :D

As I mentioned in Thursday’s post, I’ve learned a few new words from reading the Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card. The book is pre-Revolutionary war, so the dialog’s a bit different from today’s and that’s where most of the new words have come into play. As I read the book, I have my lap top open to dictionary.com or wikipedia.org, so I can look up a word if I don’t understand it. I hope by doing this, my vocabulary will expand.
