Too Many At Once!

Ever had that time you go to the library and find absolutely nothing?  Today I've had the opposite luck, I found way too much!
Usually I am way too picky on books that I want to read, and I usually discard them after skimming through the pages.  Most of them that I seem to pick up have plots that are transparent and have nothing to hide, which I've read too many of those books!

I came to the library today because my laptop died.  OK, it wasn't the laptop that died it was the charger.  The part that you stick inside the laptop to charge it, yeah that piece got stuck in the charger hole and refused to come out until I took pliers to it (Great technical names:))  I was originally going to the library to get on the computer to look up bras at Victoria's Secret because they are having a sale and I need bras.  I was also going to type up this post because I'm trying to see how long I can post everyday.

I went into the library was was making a beeline towards the computer area, when I saw a book.  A beautiful book with a picture of a young lady in 1800s clothing standing in front of a house.  I got distracted, I have an issue with being distracted by books and shiny things, oh and tarantulas!  I read the summary in the back and was glued!

The Girl at the Gatehouse By Julie Klassen
Miss Mariah Aubrey, banished after a scandal, hides herself away in a long-abandoned gatehouse on the far edge of a distant relative's estate. There, she supports herself and her loyal servant the only way she knows how--by writing novels in secret.

Captain Matthew Bryant, returning to England successful and wealthy after the Napoleonic wars, leases an impressive estate from a cash-poor nobleman, determined to show the society beauty who once rejected him what a colossal mistake she made. When he discovers an old gatehouse on the property, he is immediately intrigued by its striking young inhabitant and sets out to uncover her identity, and her past. But the more he learns about her, the more he realizes he must distance himself. Falling in love with an outcast would ruin his well-laid plans.

The old gatehouse holds secrets of its own. Can Mariah and Captain Bryant uncover them before the cunning heir to the estate buries them forever?

Sounds good right?  Then I went looking around and picked up another TWO books, even though I am still in the middle of two books and have a few more at home still.  I am a bookaholic!  That's it!  Grr... Amazing books need to stop bringing me in.  And the worst part is that I am going to have to come back tomorrow to type up the next post, and what have we learned that happens when I come to libraries?  Bad things.

Where am I now?  At a different library typing this post and about to look up more books.  Have you ever had this happen? Finding more than one book and reading way too much, especially when you're writing a novel yourself...

I am going to take these novels and analyze how certain elements of them play out and apply what I learned to writing my own novel.  Yeah, that sounds like a good excuse reason.

Can't wait to hear your 'bad' library experiences!  Write to you tomorrow:)
