Book Takes A Round Trip (almost)

Those of you who've been following my reading lists know that
I've been reading (among other things) Leah Klein's "B.Y. Times" series. What you may not have known, since I didn't mention it, is that I only had the first 9 books in the series.
"Had", not "have", because I recently ordered #10 (The New Kids) from a bookstore located in Indiana.
Well, the book came in yesterday's mail, and it turned out to be a discarded library book. I turned to the inside back cover, and burst out laughing, because the book came from:
BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY
SHEEPSHEAD BAY BRANCH
That library is not far from where I live; I used to go there all the time. I may even have
taken out this very book from there at one time. It's rather a pity that there is no list of borrowers!

To use a cliche, this one has stood the test of time.

New (Okay, not-so-new) Goals

This post is updated and modified from a post in one of my
old blogs.

I've decided to teach myself algebra and geometry. I flunked algebra three times, and I never took geometry. Math has always been hard for me because I have dyscalculia. So why do I want to teach myself these subjects? For the challenge, and to stretch my mind.
Why do I want to teach myself, rather than taking an online (it would have to be online,
because traveling is so difficult for me) course?
1: I need to be able to work at my own pace.
2: I am not doing this to get a grade or a degree.
I should say that this isn't my first, or even second, attempt to teach myself these subjects.
I tend to go gangbusters with my studies at first, and then gradually lose interest. That could be because, in the past, I spent too much time at it each day. This time, I'm setting a limit to how long I will study at one sitting by using an online TIMER.
