What's in my bag (Library Bag)

Not much to say today, but I'm in the mood to share. So I'll share the contents of my library bag. Most of the items will not be read or listened to due to lack of time. But here they are...

1. How to crochet / Pauline Turner (book) - these days I'm passing the time by working on an afghan for my Memaw. An easy stitch and I'm gonna hate giving it away.
2. Never love you enough / Chely Wright (CD) - I'm a country music fan. Not a big fan of Ms. Wright but she does have some interesting songs. One title track is called Jezebel. Hmmm, could be interesting.
3. Songs about Jane / Maroon 5 (CD) - never listened to the group, or if I have, I didn't know it. Picked it up on a whim.
4. The Carols of Christmas / Various (CD) - I'm in the Christmas mood. My Christmas tree is already up with wrapped gifts underneath. Enough said.
5. Sahara (DVD) - What a dumb movie. Turned it on, became quickly bored, started washing dishes and before I knew it the closing credits were running. The movie is based on Clive Cussler's novel with the same title.
6. Walt Disney's Cinderella (DVD) - I told you I wanted to watch the movie. Didn't have to buy it though. I was walking through the children's section of the library and there it was. Sweet as always. *
7. Indian Summer (DVD) - movie is about 8 adults coming back for one week to the camp they attended when they were younger. The movie brings back memories since I spent many weeks at camp growing up.
8. The Muppet Christmas Carol (DVD) - probably my favorite Christmas movie. Refer back to number 4 for further explaination.
9. Minion / L. A. Banks (book) - about a woman who hunts vampires and demons. I'm a fan of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series in which Ms. Blake raises the dead, and has the most interesting relationships with vampires and werewolves. **
10. Memiors of a Geisha / Arthur Golden (book) - when this book first came out, my friend told me I had to read this; that I would just love the book. At the time, she had no idea what books I like, but she somehow knew I would like it. Finally borrowed it from the library, and have yet to read it. I'll wait for the movie since it's coming to the movie screen soon.
11. The broker / John Grisham (book) - I haven't read a John Grisham book in ages. This one started out good, but never finished it. I'll get to it in a couple of months. It's a good thing I don't have to pay fines, and I can renew material over and over again. ***
12. A Charlie Brown Christmas (VHS) - I saw this movie for the first time just a week ago. Now I really do know what people mean when they talk about a "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree."
13. What's new Scooby-Doo?: merry scary holiday (VHS) - So am I going overboard with the Christmas item. Note: I am a Scooby Doo fan.
14. Miss Morison's Ghosts (VHS) - I never heard about this movie until I saw someone check it out. I'm interested about ghosts, I'll watch it. It contains 2 VHS tapes, and I listened to the first one while I was working on my Memaw's afghan. I might have liked it better had I actually watched it. I didn't watch the second tape.
15. Firefly: The complete series - Disc 3 (DVD) - this is a television series by the Joss Whedon. The same person who created Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. The dialog is quite funny. This is the second time I've checked it out just because I couldn't finish it earlier (being on vaction and being sick).
16. The essential cat / Caroline Davis (book) - basic knowledge about cats and how to care for them. Too bad it doesn't answer how to put up with a brat like my cat, Turtle. Don't get me wrong, I love my cat, he just has behavior problems every once and a while. Enough so that my jacket has to be taken to the dry cleaners. Yup.
17. Confessions of an ugly stepsister / Gregory Maguire (Audio Cassette) - I've tried to read is books, and I will continue to try to read his books. I thought listening might be helpful while I'm driving in the car. Nope. I can't concentrate on listening while driving.
18. The tender bar: a memior / J.R. Moehringer (book) - since I have a strange fascination with alcohol (I wanted to be a bartender at the age of 18, or was it 19) I had to pick the book up. The author basically grew up in a bar setting, surrounded by people, conversation and alcohol. What couldn't be a better read?
19. Healing rain / Michael W. Smith (CD) - Contemporary Christian artist. Kinda disappointed in his latest CD, though the tracks "Healing Rain" and "Here I am" are good. He's been around for years. First song of his I heard was "Secret Ambition," and I cried when I watched the video. I was probably 14 when I first heard the song.
20. A Confederacy of Dunces / John Kennedy Toole (Audio CD) - I first picked the book up a couple of years ago and never had the chance to finish it. The book is current at my parents place in Kentucky. It has a different kind of humor to it. Since I saw it available, I thought I would give it a second chance.
21. The story of the King James Bible and how it changed a nation, a language, and a culture / Alister McGrath (book) - it's books like these where I want to grab a pen and paper to take notes. I forsee keeping this book checked out for some time. I'm interested in knowing what all it says.
22. Wicked: the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West / Gregory Maguire (book) -once again, I'm trying to read his books. This is now a Broadway musical which has gotten good reviews.
23. Wicked: the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West / Gregory Maguire (Audio Cassette) - some how, I'm going to read this book.

* I'm sure there is a S&M version of Cinderella out there, but it's not available at the library. I'd have to visit an adult store for that version.

** If you decide to begin reading Hamilton's Anita Blake series be warned, the series starts out tame and becomes very graphic. Sexually graphic. I honestly couldn't read the last book because of all the sex. I couldn't find the plot anywhere. I've thought about listening to the book on Audio CD, but I'm quite certain I will be listening to soft porn.

*** Just to prove I'm not a stingy librarian, I will return books that I am not going to read back to the library if I know someone else is waiting for the book. No reason for me to keep it. I can always get it later.

(There are two more books in my car, but I couldn't tell you the title of them.)

Have a good day everyone.
