I LOVE that story about the library in Milton Keyne. What a great response by the community. And the Tor article is awesome, too- I read through all the comments and there are so many books mentioned in there which I have also loved! (some I thought I was the only one to have read them too). I am now promptly making a list of books to add to my TBR list, thanks to all the titles others are sharing there!

Me, too—I love a story about people saving their library. It’s really refreshing after all the other library news this last year.
I love Molly Templeton. It seems like she has a weekly column on the Tor blog. I get that one by newsletter because it’s a great way to keep up with sff and they have some really great, insightful writers on their team. Also, they give away free books once a month.
I laughed at your comment, though. One of the big dangers about reading posts about reading is that your TBR will only grow, never shrink. 🙂
