Summer days, autumn nights

Today, I went to my local council's public library. Being in a new library felt weird, since I have always hung out at the public library in the city. But since I'm at a new neighbourhood, I thought I'd better start getting acquainted with the new library too.

It was really weird, knowing that the YA genres were placed in the Teenagers Section in my library. Worse of all, the Teenagers Section was buried deep inside the Children's Section and Play Area. Perhaps it was because that I am new to the YA genre, but I have never felt so awkward being in the children's section, picking up a teenager's book. Maybe I'm just being silly since I am not certain whether people actually care if I was picking up a teenager's book.

However, I did picked up two books that I have been hearing good reviews about - Gone by Michael Grant and Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I can see why Thirteen Reasons Why is such a great book, I finished the book in three hours, with only a short break in between. Once I started on the book, I just couldn't put it down. Can't wait to begin Gone tomorrow.

Autumn is beginning to replace summer. Dried leaves are starting to pile up. It won't be long now before the cold weather begins to nip at my toes. I can hardly wait. I adore winter!
