My local library was having a used book sale today. I stopped by to browse, and ended up buying a few books.
I've bought a good amount of books from library book sales over the years. I've felt they served multiple good functions - help support the local library, purchase some books at a good price, and help serve as a way of passing on books.

Bookwormjillk Agree! I always love supporting library sales. 8mo
Rome753 @Bookwormjillk They're definitely nice and worthwhile. A few times I've managed to walk away with a mix of books from my wishlist, and books that happened to catch my interest. Thankfully, a couple of my local libraries seem to be doing well with their used book sales. 8mo
Octoberwoman I love library sales! I think over half my collection have come from them. 8mo

It was interesting to read just how different Adams and Jefferson were, yet it is unlikely this nation could have succeeded without such differences in the founders. The hope and optimism of Jefferson to help it take off, the wisdom and cynicism of Adams to keep it from flying away. Well written. A worthwhile read.

Omg this took me forever 🤦‍♀️ It was so detailed I'll stick with the musical! @Amiable #chunksterchallenge2023

Amiable Agree completely! I love Chernow but this wasn‘t my favorite one of his. Great job! 2y

Amiable @GinaKButler Nice! I‘m sure you‘ll hit an Almost Chunkster at some point during the year, too. You guys are the poster kids for the Chunkster Challenge! 🙂 I have two Supers queued up but haven‘t decided on anything else yet. (edited) 3y

Mehso-so

I don't know what to tell you about this. It's 36 hours give or take. And there are no song or dance numbers. How that brilliant man turned this into a musical is beyond me. It's very interesting but the minutia is a bit boring.
