Misc. weather thoughts (plus book club)

It got up to -30 degrees yesterday (Celsius, obviously). It's quite a bit less now, and hopefully we won't get any more of that this winter. Um...can it be spring now? Please? Usually I don't mind waiting for spring because of skiing and other wintry things, but this year I'm getting really sick of snow. I remember last year April was insane...first it was really cold and snowing, then the next day it would be 20 degrees, then it would snow again, then summer again, then...well, it was crazy. Maybe this year it'll be more summery?
On another note: yesterday was my book club meeting. We talked about "The Giver", and decided the next book to read will be "Born on a Blue Day", which is a memoir. I might blog about "The Giver", but I'm not sure. Wait and see, I guess. =)

Rants of a future librarian

You know what annoyed me today? When I found that someone had put checkmarks next to certain characters' names in my copy of "And Then There Were None". Was the previous reader checking off who dies or marking possible people who might've "dunnit"? I'm guessing the first. Luckily I only caught one name before I stopped looking...but seriously...use a list instead of marking a library book! *sigh*
