Yesterday I installed a new shelf for my reading lamp (and Donatello). Tonight I‘m giving it a workout as I dig into DEATH IN THE STACKS. I took the book out of the Little Free Library last week, mostly because I needed to make room for the stuff I brought to leave there, and it‘s great so far!

When the next book is a 2 week wait 😭😳 Audiobook is not available on SCRIBD until the 20th ( 7 DAYS 😱) and no hardcopy at Library. 📚REALLY I am in love with this series. Did not predict The murderer from Death in the Stacks. I‘m not sure if I can wait much longer for the next book ☹️

Briefly went to the @strandbookstore and left empty handed. It was a struggle but my TBR is long enough as it is.

When the Audiobook version of the book you are currently reading won‘t be available for 10 days 😭😱Tomorrow is Parent Conferences at Clift and the Library is going to be empty- I was hoping to get some audiobook listening done while shelving 💔

CarolynM @MrsMalaprop @TrishB @Crazeedi In my defence, we are planning to get a lot more book shelves put in sometime soon so I don't have much incentive to do anything about it until then 5y
CarolynM @LeeRHarry @thegirlwiththelibrarybag When I do get to the point of sorting through them I am sure there will be many to discard - I'll give you first refusal🙂 5y
CarolynM @Freespirit @Cathythoughts @ladym30 @Stacypatrice @BenbowsBK You are all people after my own heart❤️ 5y
CarolynM @erzascarletbookgasm @BarbaraBB @ravenlee @Theaelizabet I'd love to have your help and you are all very welcome to come and help me sort them when the time comes, but I think the distance might be a bit of a problem...🙂 5y
BarbaraBB Just a minor detail 🤣😘 5y

Day 2 of #12daysofbookstagram is stack! I‘ve chosen the “cookbooks that don‘t get stored in the kitchen” stack. The filing system goes something like this: books I would be upset if something got spilled on them stay out of the kitchen unless being used (generally). The back story of this system begins with a melting ice cube and the Lord Howe cookbook; you can fill in the ending on your own 😜

Pamwurtzler What‘s that top one? 7y
drbethandherkindle @Pamwurtzler It‘s my BFF Magnus‘ cookbook 7y
drbethandherkindle @Pamwurtzler It was a use up those B&N gift cards special since I would have never bought it on my own 7y

Pamwurtzler Aha. Yes I thought B&N‘s cookbook selection was kind of meh when we were there last week. That‘s how your father ended up using my gc. 7y
drbethandherkindle @Pamwurtzler The one we went to actually had several I wanted, but Tom dragged me straight to this one and insisted I get it. And then Tom bought himself a D-Day book from the bargain section 😂 7y

I killed two birds with one stone with this #cozymystery that is #thenextbookinaseriesistarted . I'm a fan of this library mystery series but this wasn't one of the better titles in the series.

Finally finished! I really enjoy this series. Small town librarian who manages to get involved in another murder. This time though, she‘s a suspect.

I‘ve always thought this book series was a good representation of what it‘s like to work in a small town library. And now this one reminds me of my life right now, though I doubt my personal antagonist will end up murdered. Another rough week. Crossing my fingers that I get the job I applied for last night. 🤞🏻

“Her life only felt centered and well-balanced if she had a stack of books to read with her wherever she went. Granted she had an e-reader and even read books on her smartphone, but she was a book addict, and only the comforting feel of paper beneath her fingertips could truly soothe her.”

Suet624 I feel the same way. 7y
