Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Ikea! Here I come! š¤£ 11mo

TEArificbooks I‘m going to IKEA! 11mo

Texreader @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @TEArificbooks Sorry but I have to share a little story since you both mentioned IKEA. My Norwegian husband has a natural distaste for all things Swedish (it‘s a Scandinavian thing), but the first time I was in Norway he had to take me to IKEA! At the time I think there was none or maybe one IKEA in the US. I love the oat cookies from IKEA, or havreflarn as they‘re called in Norway. Enjoy!! 11mo

Chrissyreadit @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Ikea was my first thought too! 11mo

Chrissyreadit Leila that book list is incredible!!! i‘m so sad my brain fog has limited reading because i ā€wantā€¯ to read everything!!! 11mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Texreader I think all regions have a natural distaste for at least one "local" spot. Most of the NYC region talks trash about Philadelphia. Cute that he had to take you to Ikea, though. I would want to check one out while over there, just to contrast & compare. 11mo

Catsandbooks @Texreader that's so cute! 11mo

Catsandbooks @Chrissyreadit Thanks! The book list will still be there even after the year is over so you can always go back to it! And there will be one for 2024 too. I'm sorry you've had a hard time though this year ā¯¤ļø¸ 11mo

Amiable My grandmother was from Sweden and I have her family recipe for Swedish cardamom bread. I usually make it every Christmas in her memory. ā¯¤ļø¸ 11mo

Catsandbooks @Amiable aw that's such a wonderful tradition! ā¯¤ļø¸ I love cardamom rolls! 11mo

AnnR @Catsandbooks Could you please remove me from the tag list? Thanks so much. š¤— 11mo

Catsandbooks @AnnR sure thing! 11mo

Ummmmmmmā€¦
This is an ARC. Sure hope they caught it later! Don't get me wrong, B. Franklin was a heck of a guy - and Governor of Pennsylvania, among many other things- but in *this* timeline, he was never President.

Aimeesue I'm really enjoying the book, though. Very interesting. And super feminist, so that's a plus. 5y

Crazeedi Hopefully they correct that glaring error!! 5y

Well, these ARCs aren't going to read themselves, I

jillrhudy Interesting! 5y

Aimeesue @jillrhudy You would like the bit about Carl Linnaeus, who apparently invented the cross referenced card catalog (!!!) He was quite the organizer, that Carl. 5y

My #bookhaul from #ALA2019 ...such a tiny amount for me, mainly because I didn‘t want to haul them on the Metro all over DC and Maryland to bring them home. I made out the best at Kensington Publishing!

Also, I had a wonderful chat with @melissanorr ...so great to meet you! Meeting fellow Littens is super fun!

melissanorr It was so great meeting you! Now I have to unpack my tote bag... 5y

ferskner I'm so jealous! I've never been to ALA. 5y

Librarybelle @ferskner I‘ve been a couple of times, but only when it‘s in DC, and when my library snags a few exhibit passes. I‘m usually begging colleagues to bring me back books, so a rare treat for me to actually go through the exhibits! 5y
