1. I was in 5th grade just immigrated from the Philipines to the states and we had library day on Fridays and the librarian‘s theme was under the sea and she had this giant paper mached octopus with lots of pillows to lounge on while we watchwd reading rainbow and got to check out a book…she made it so relaxing and welcoming 2.mostly from libraries 3. the red palace @Eggs #wondrouswednesday
1. I used to to work with my older brother when he was a page in the library. I once read Tamara Pierce's The Woman Who Rides Like a Man all in a 4 hour shift. I used to read a lot faster then. Grad school killed that ability.
2. Libby, Hoopla, the library, and an occasional buy. I've also done some book swaps.
3. What Grows in the Dark by Jaq Evans

1. I got to visit the British Library in 2019, which was basically everything I hoped for. But I ALSO visited the Chester Beatty in Dublin 3 times in that same year, and got to view texts I never dreamed of getting to be in the same room with, some of them thousands of years old.
2. Library! I currently have 4 physical library cards I use digitally, as well as 2 virtual libraries.
3. 😅 I have 10 books in progress.

1. I remember riding my bike to the tiny library in my small town and riding home, my new library books secure in the basket on the front. I would spend quite some time deliberating on my choices since I was only allowed to check out four—it was a tough decision!
2. Most of my books have come from bookstores, but a healthy amount from library book sales, as well.
3. The tagged book—and it‘s quite good!

1. I remember being super excited to get my first library card during a school trip in elementary school
2. Most of my books come from the library (physical and digital)
3. Current reads: Witch King and Foxglove King (just realized my titles have a theme…)
pickThis was such a joy to read! This manga is seriously the cutest thing ever. I was dying over how adorable it was.
Like the title suggests, the main characters are opposites. Suzuki is outgoing and popular, while Tani is more reserved and keeps to himself. I loved seeing their relationship blossom. Their first date was a standout.

🔹 hmm, nothing stands out. But I love going to the library!
🔹 Library + bookstore + digital downloads. I found out I have 117+ unread books at home and 300+ downloaded on my phone. I think I might have an addiction 🙋🏻♀️
🔹 I‘ve started getting into sci-fi/space horror, so currently reading Contagion by Bowman
1. Going with my grandpa on the weekends I stayed with him!
2. BOTM, Amazon, library and a favorite indie bookstore
3. Tagged and bunch more!
Thanks @Kshakal @Eggs #wondrouswednesday
1. My former stepmom took me and my former stepsister to the library. We checked out some books and took them home. We returned our books to the library but we never went back to check out more. I‘m glad they‘re gone. My stepsister was mean to me because she didn‘t understand me.
2. I get most of my books as ARCs or I order them online.
3. I just started Dark Ride by P.G. Kassel. It‘s set at an eerie amusement park.

Today's #WondrousWednesday inspired me to locate (and collageify) photos of my very first library card. It must have been 1980-1982 when I got it (I was 4 or 5). My signature is actually less legible now than it was then.
