intro & June books

[sonneta.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm relatively new here, so I thought I should introduce myself. I'm a 26-year-old graduate student studying Library Sciences. I want to be a reference librarian, or possibly an archivist. I live in Kansas. Besides reading, my main hobby is making greeting cards.

June wasn't much of a reading month for me, because I was on vacation for most of it. Books I read in June:

At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon- An Episcopal Priest has to deal with quite a bit of the thing he hates most: Change. This book was a fairly fast read, and an okay book. The things I didn't like about it were that it was fairly predictable and somewhat slow. I also didn't like that a lot of plotlines are left open-ended (which I know is because this is the first in a series, but still). Even though I might be vaguely interested in what happens to these people, I'm not interested enough to read 7+ books.

Snitch by Rene Gutteridge- A rookie, a cocky undercover agent, a preacher, and a cop who is nearing retirement are all a part of an undercover operation. Fast and fun, much like the previous book in this series, Scoop. This is Christian fiction that's not preachy. The only thing wrong with it is that I would have liked a bit more depth of character- particularly with Mack, whom this book is ostensibly centered on.

Oh what is the first book in that [Snitch] series? What is the series called?

[sonneta.livejournal.com]

The first book is called Scoop. The series is called "The Occupational Hazards Series".

Oh thanks!

Ooh!! A fellow (possibly) wanna-be archivist! Welcome! :-) (I, too, am interested in becoming an archivist, but am leaning more toward the historian side versus library side.)

Yay, would-be archivists! :)

Ooh! Someone else who has read "The Occupational Hazards" series! Do you plan to read the third book, Skid? It's about their brother, Hank, and it is hilarious! I recently read it and was constantly chuckling.

Yes, I would love to read more of them! My library just recently got Snitch, so it might be a while until I get to read Skid (unless I can find it through Inter-library Loan.)
