#AsGoodAsNew
blurb

Harry Potter came out around 1997 I believe, but it‘ll always be #asgoodasnew #ABBAinAugust

emilyhaldi Ugh, I dragged myself through the first 3 books and then BAILED. I just don‘t get the whole HP obsession?!?! Alex and I have argued over this many times 😂😂 6y
Meredith3 @emilyhaldi I dont think @Reviewsbylola @AnnieD @Mdargusch have read all of them either! Correct me if I‘m wrong. That‘s crazy to me?! How can someone not love Harry Potter?! 6y
Mdargusch I read the first one to see what all the hype was about and I read Mockingjay for the same reason. That was enough and now I know. 😁 6y

Reviewsbylola I never got into these. I read the first two and started the third. 6y
Reviewsbylola Let me guess, he is super opinionated and passionate about HP. @emilyhaldi 😂😂😂 6y
Meredith3 @emilyhaldi thank god Alex is an HP fan, you all are whack as hell 😹 6y

Wondering if a year of R&R results in this narrator being #asgoodasnew?? I decided I needed this book considering 208 is turning out to be my very own year of rest and (not always so relaxed) relaxation while looking for a job 😅

Mitch She‘s a super interesting writer - Eileen was a book to remember! I have this one on my TBR. How‘s the job hunting going? 6y
Meredith3 You deserve a year of relaxation! 🛀🏻 6y

BarbaraBB I really liked this book, though it‘s dark too 🖤. Good luck with the jobs...🤞😘 6y
Graciouswarriorprincess I am reading this now also while job hunting. 6y
Kalalalatja You are job hunting? Me too! 🙋‍♀️ 6y
Cathythoughts Good luck with the job hunting. I almost bought that book yesterday.. it was in my hands. I got Jar Of Hearts instead. But I‘ll look forward to hearing what you think about it. I‘d say I‘ll definitely be going back to the bookshop on Saturday 6y
Mdargusch Looks like you have job hunting company 😁 good luck to you all! @Kalalalatja @Graciouswarriorprincess 6y
kspenmoll Best of luck to the job hunters @Graciouswarriorprincess @Kalalalatja ! Keep us posted & read on!! 6y
Reviewsbylola If this is good you can loan it to me!! 6y
emilyhaldi @Mitch the job hunt is SLOW... Not many opportunities for the kind of position I'm looking for. But I'm getting a lot of reading done in the meantime 😅 6y
emilyhaldi @Graciouswarriorprincess @Kalalalatja good luck with your job hunts!! It's the worst 😝 6y
Graciouswarriorprincess @emilyhaldi it is slow and the worst! Thanks and good luck to you as well! 6y
Mitch @emilyhaldi every cloud a silver lining! 🤞🏼 6y
Cinfhen Another post I missed...ugh, for job hunting!!! Niki was looking to switch jobs for over a year and she FINALLY got something last week🙌🏻💕 Friday is her last day and Monday she‘s on a plane to Israel until she needs to start her new job. It‘s a long process but ultimately something will pan out. And rest & relaxation is NEVER a bad thing. 6y

Gertrude is still in the puppy stage, which means chewing. Unfortunately that included two of my books. 😭 Imaginary London looked #asgoodasnew when I put the dust jacket back on, but Literary London looks a bit worse for the wear. 😬 At least it‘s still readable! #abbainaugust

TrishB 😔 6y
MaGoose 😥 Glad it's still readable. 6y
Zelma What a bad puppy! My final Harry Potter hardcover had the same fate; fortunately it was still readable or would have lost it. 🙄 6y

TheBookStacker Omg yeah Ginny chews up all my books if I leave them out, basically she chews up anything that is left within reach. Hoping she grows out of it soon! 6y
emilyhaldi Omg I would be SO MAD. 😡😡😡 6y
Ms_T Oh dear 😳 6y
bunny My sympathies! We're going through the same thing. Glad your book is still readable. 🐶 6y
Mdargusch Glad it wasn‘t your new couches! 6y
Reviewsbylola This was a month or two ago, which is why I‘ve been so nervous about the couches. 😅 So far, so good! @Mdargusch 6y
minkyb But puppies provide such unconditional love! Ours has a thing for my husband‘s sick and he did chew my tennis racquet. 6y

#AbbaInAugust Day 16: I guess the battlecry of this store is that their books are #AsGoodAsNew. Found in Dublin. Quite close to Parnell. What can I do? Books find me wherever I go.

emilyhaldi Sounds like a must-visit!!! 6y

emilyhaldi I haven‘t read this since high school and I hardly remember any of it 😣 6y
IljaRianca I've never read this one, as English literature was not required in my country (only English books, so I read twilight for my exam, lol). But I'm taking on the 1001 book challenge, so I'll read this soon! 6y
Reviewsbylola It‘s been a long time for me too. All I remember is that I really didn‘t like it. 😂😂 6y

Because I handle collection development at my library system - both purchasing and weeding the entire system‘s adult collections - I somewhat have first dibs on items I weed due to lack of use. Weeding is sad, but it‘s a necessary part of the library world, making room for the new items on the shelves. Here are some recent gems I added to my personal collection, #asgoodasnew . #ABBAinAugust

The title hard to see is Jane Austen‘s Cult & Cultures

Mdargusch That would be some tough decisions! 6y
emilyhaldi You have some good picks in there!! And that definitely seems like a tough job. 6y
Reviewsbylola What a nice job perk!! 6y

Librarybelle @Mdargusch @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola Purchasing is fun...maintaining the collection is not as fun. But, it has rewards. 🙂 6y
ferskner That's the one plus of weeding...you get the stuff for yourself :) (Actually I really love weeding, but I also love shelf reading, so...) 6y
Librarybelle @ferskner Shelf Reading can be dangerous! I always find something to read, making the TBR pile bigger. 😁 6y
