I spent a lovely rainy morning browsing the local library book sale with my niece and her daughter (well, tiny niece spent the time playing with her new bunny toy)—here are the results of the morning! The four I‘ve read already (including the vintage Anne of Avonlea) don‘t count 😆 They were giving everyone a free copy of the Ren Faire book! #bookhaul

Tamra Peace Like a River is lovely. 😁 15h

BarbaraJean @Tamra It is!! I can never resist buying copies even though I‘ve already read and own it! This copy will go to one of the friends I haven‘t pushed a copy at yet 😆 15h

Tamra @BarbaraJean you are a good friend! 💕 15h

Gaaaah. I got both of these hold notifications within an hour of each other. I want both. Do I have room in my current reading lineup? No. Am I going to read them both anyway? Yep.

I just put this in my 5 Joys Friday post, but it deserves its own post! I‘m super excited about this prize from the library summer reading program—especially the three books! I‘ve been wanting to read Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo, and Tim O‘Brien‘s The Things They Carried is on my TBR, so I‘m interested to check out America Fantastica. I hadn‘t heard of The Hundred Loves of Juliet but it sounds good! And then of course all the library swag 😁

Ruthiella Wow! 🤩 9mo

willaful nice! 9mo

What a delightful surprise—I won a prize in my library summer reading program! It‘s funny because I kind of stopped participating after I completed the challenge halfway through June, by having read six books. 😆 I think they need to add a “super reader” option that requires more than just six books for the whole three months. 😁📚📚

Librarybelle Congratulations! 9mo

Ruthiella Awesome! 👏👏👏 9mo

willaful Nice! I won something from mine last year. 9mo

Bookwormjillk Congratulations 🎉 My library‘s challenge was ten books and like you I finished early. 9mo

Library book sale today 😁 The Friends of the Library are such enablers. Their volunteers were roaming around the room and every time I amassed a small pile of books, they‘d ask if I wanted to start a stack on the holding table. So I didn‘t realize how many books I had set aside… this is stack 1 of 3 🙈

I‘m SUPER excited about A Begonia for Miss Applebaum, which I remember loving when I was a kid. And the LeGuin, and the Pratchett…and… and…😁

TheBookgeekFrau 😂 you'd think they make a commission. 2y

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Aw 💜💜💜 so jealous

A Begonia for Miss Applebaum

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Meanwhile... Been trying to WA you 😘 2y

BarbaraJean @MommyWantsToReadHerBook 😭I will go check my unreliable app that never seems to notify me!! 2y

Library book sale today! I spent $14 and probably undid all the progress I‘ve made this year on reading my own books and not buying more. But… look at that lovely stack! Two are for my niece, and two others I‘ve already read, so they don‘t “count.” 😆

ellie_ember I 💕 library book sales!!! 3y

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Awesome haul! That‘s the new Ari & Dante 😍 3y

Ncostell I can never resist a good library book sale either, the struggle is real! 3y

Hooked_on_books I missed my library book sale! 😩 A confluence of factors came together so I couldn‘t go. But, like you said, it probably would have undone my unshelving progress, so there‘s that. Nonetheless I still envy you. 3y

Ruthiella Nice stack! 😊 3y

Chrissyreadit You really scored! 3y

BarbaraJean @BookHoarder32 I was SO excited to find it!! I bought a copy as a gift for a friend months ago, but I still haven‘t read it myself…I will sneak it into my already-too-full reading list before the end of the year, I‘m sure. 😁 3y

BarbaraJean @Hooked_on_books Oh no! It is a sad day when events conspire to keep you from the library book sale. Probably a good day for your shelves. 😆 But I definitely feel your pain! 3y

BarbaraJean @ellie_ember @Ncostell Library book sales are one of my weaknesses... I even found one on my honeymoon. 😄 3y
