Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Putting Through a Glass Darkly temporarily aside as I got notice from eLibrary New Jersey that it was my turn to read Lord John Grey and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon. This is the first book I've gotten from eLibrary New Jersey. It's very easy to use. As soon as I checked out, I was taken directly to my Amazon Kindle account. Now that I know how to use it, I'll probably be using this more.

Isn't that a snap? I assume your library is using Overdrive, same as mine does. They're constantly adding new titles and I'm wishlisting those titles I'd like to read in the future or on a rainy day when nothing else will suit. It is so cool getting a library book at 5AM on a Sunday morning.

At home with a good book and the cat...

I'm not sure what my library is using. It appears that the eLibrary is a state-wide consortium. I wanted to read the Lord Grey books, but wanted to put some distance between when I finished the last Outlander book (May 2011) and when I started the Lord Grey books. My problem with using the eLibrary will come during the school year when I have much less time to read. I cannot always guarantee that I will finish a book in two weeks.
