Weird Week at the Little Free Library

So on Sunday I stripped out (and dried down) the Little Free Library. When I refilled it, it looked like this (* means "From Malice):

TOP SHELF: The Touchstone*, Playing for Pizza, The Poisonwood Bible, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, The Runaway Jury, The Time Traveller's Wife, The Bridges of Madison County, Death of an Englishman*, A Year in Provence, Soduku puzzle magazine, The Fannie Farmer Cookbook.

MIDDLE SHELF: Training for Dummies, Pilates for Dummies, Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Heads in Beds, The Beautiful Cigar Girl, Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil, Brothers in Battle, Issac's Storm, The Pillars of the Earth

Wife and Bridges were gone by evening. The soduku and cookbook were gone by the time I left for work Monday.

I hadn't checked it since, so when I went to get the recycle bins from the curb, I thought "Hey, let's make sure nobody's giving me horribly mildewed books."

They hadn't. However, the book line up now reads:

TOP SHELF: The Touchstone, Playing for Pizza, The Posionwood Bible, High Fidelity, Brothers in Battle (it's rare for books to be moved), The Runaway Jury, Death of an Englishman, A Year in Provence, Sunset Limited, Immoral, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress

MIDDLE SHELF: Pilates for Dummies, Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Heads in Beds, The Beautiful Cigar Girl, Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil, The Volunteer, The Burning Wire, The Pillars of Earth.

The books on the bottom shelf haven't changed, but the single audiobook is not one of the two that I put out Sunday (My One Hundred Adventures and one of the Lee Child Reacher novels). I'm fairly certain Mennonite came from the LFL; I'm pretty sure Immoral and Susnset Limited did not. (To be honest, I can't remember about High Fidelity either way).

All of the books that have gone are ones that recently came from the Book Thing. I'm wrestling hard with the impulse to go up there *yet again* this weekend. I really, really, shouldn't; my stock is bursting at the seams. But the hunting has been so good the last couple of go arounds, for both the LFL and me. I'm like a rat pressing a bar for pellets (or pressing a gas pedal for books).
