Book haul from the Book Sorting: Old books
There‘s something to be said for living in an area where the people are book lovers and hold on to books for DECADES. #ModerLibrary #Thurber and an illustrated Shaker Cook Book from 1953!

ValerieAndBooks Are you in a college town? 5y
Aimeesue @ValerieAndBooks Right outside of DC. Donations mostly come from retired Federal Employees, college profs, and former military. We get a lot of books from older people downsizing, too. 5y
Aimeesue Oh, and former Congresspersons. That's happened once or twice that I know of. 5y
ValerieAndBooks I was thinking college profs because they tend to stay put once they get tenure 🙂. The rest makes sense too. If we hadn‘t had to move as often as we did, I‘m sure my library would be twice as big 😂 5y

Here is my Top 5 Character names, requested by @shadowspeak17 I wasn‘t sure if you were asking for my favorite characters or names I thought were the coolest, so I did both. The purple are my favorite characters, the red are the coolest names. I stuck with book characters for this as well!

The White Deer | James Thurber

Pickpick

It is hard to both deconstruct something and celebrate it at the same time, but with The White Deer and The 13 Clocks (with which I kicked off the summer) James Thurber has written 2 fairy tales that somehow hold up and laugh at all the tropes without losing that special kind of magic.

A princess who might really be a deer sends 3 princes off on dangerous quests that all hold surprises. The language is lovely. Highly recommended.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk This closes the final tab of my #SummerOfShort read that tackled my TBR books of less than 300 pages. 6y
Reggie You make this sound so great. 6y
