Spring Into Reading 2026 - Casa Grande Library

National Library Week Celebration! (Tuesday, April 21, 2026)

I wanted to celebrate the national library week, so I decided to use all of my library cards. Starting from the left to the right I started by going to the Palo Verde Phoenix library outdoor holds locker to get two comics. Then I went to the Main Glendale Library on Brown Street to get a large print of "Mexican Gothic". Then I went to the Fairway Sun City library to get the "Caught Stealing" DVD and a book I liked the length of when I was browsing the shelves. I also wanted to read this eComic from my eCard from the Peoria library.

Review: Beach Read

Beach Read by Emily Henry
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I finished listening this eAudiobook on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at 3:12 p.m. My last reading session was 22 minutes. I really don't remember where I got this from, but I had it in my Libro.fm app. It reminds me of Haley Pham's book. It makes sense because Emily Henry is her favorite author. It was alright. I think I need a break from romance books. The happy ending always with marriage makes me gag.

⛱ Beach Read by Emily Henry, Julia Whelan (Narrator)

I only had one favorite quote.

“‘Then maybe we should enjoy our happy-for-now,’ Gus said.

‘Happy for now.’ I tasted the words, rolled them over the back of my tongue like wine. The only promise you ever had in life was the one moment you were living. And I was.

Happy for now.

I could live with that. I could learn to live with that” (the end of chapter 27 The Rain).

I wanted more Beanstack challenges with rewards, so I found out that Mesa has a lot. I like that I got a reward, but I am not going to drive all the way to Mesa for a measly sticker. I just like the challenge and the reward.
