literary serendipity

i went to the dc public library this evening.

the northeast branch is open until 9pm a couple of days a week

which is awesome.

one of the things i love about the library here,

is that i can place online holds for books i want to read.

i usually request five to ten books at a time

and get email notifications when one is ready for me to pickup.

and they never show up all at the same time.

literary serendipity

in that all - yes all -

of the books i placed on hold with

the dc public library last week

showed up all at the same time.

when does this ever happen?

seems the goddess of the library

knows that i suddenly

have lots of free time

to sit.

read.

listen to music.

relax.

drink herb tea.

read some more.
