The irises in our backyard are just gorgeous right now! On the left, #CampLitsy24 June picks and some from the longlist. It was an embarrassment of riches as always!

In the center, the two I picked up on #IndependentBookstoreDay. One Japanese in translation plus a short story collection (of course). Have you read the Japanese one @BarbaraBB ?

On the right, some additional library finds!

britt_brooke I want to hear your thoughts on Headshot. I listened to it recently. 6mo
kspenmoll Beautiful irises! 6mo
Megabooks @britt_brooke yes! I heard about it when @Chelsea.Poole nominated it for camp litsy. I‘ll let you know when I get to it. 6mo

Megabooks @Hooked_on_books awesome! I saw it was set in Hawaii, and I think I read her other collection. 6mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB me too! It looks a lot longer than goodbye vitamin, so I wonder how it will compare. 6mo
Megabooks @AmyG that is awesome!! 6mo
Megabooks @Foragingfantasy lol! I don‘t smell anything with them. 6mo

Though I didn‘t get any reading done over the weekend, my cousins and I celebrated #IndependentBookstoreDay across Friday, Saturday and Sunday! We hit 20 stores across #Chicagoland and this is my exciting #bookhaul from our trip! Tons of fun, lots of laughs and fun exploring stores and towns new to all of us, along with revisiting some local favorites! We already can‘t wait celebrate again next year!! A huge thanks to all the shops!!

MemoirsForMe Wow! What fun! 6mo
Ruthiella Amazing haul! 🤩 6mo
TorieStorieS @UwannaPublishme It really was fantastic!! We did this a few years ago, all over Wisconsin and it was fun to do it in Illinois this year… not sure what direction we will do next! 6mo

TorieStorieS @Ruthiella I managed to find quite a few from my wishlist that I had been searching for… plus, of course some impulse buys, too!☺️ 6mo
MemoirsForMe You may have to try another state next year! 😉 We had a Indie Book Crawl here in San Diego, but I could only get to 1 store. 6mo
Gissy What a fun experience 🤩📚📚📚🙌❤️❤️❤️ 6mo
wanderinglynn What an awesome day & excellent haul! 6mo
5feet.of.fury 20 stores! Wow!! 6mo
TorieStorieS @UwannaPublishme Still fun to participate!! I wish I could talk my cousins into flying to a new state to check out, but they would rather drive than fly! 6mo
TorieStorieS @Gissy We had such an amazing time!! 6mo
TorieStorieS @wanderinglynn Thanks!! Some gifts for others and some for me, as well! 🤣 6mo
TorieStorieS @5feet.of.fury There were 46 stores on the official list for the crawl— but I don‘t know how anyone could make it to all of them in one weekend, let alone one day! 6mo
Suet624 Fantastic! 6mo
TorieStorieS @Suet624 Thanks!! We had the best time!! 6mo

Visited 5 book stores yesterday for #independentbookstoreday (and AtX is truly blessed because that is just a fraction of local indie booksellers - plus we didn‘t even go to the biggest one tbh)… definitely over indulged (pictured is a sampling of my #bookhaul lol)
Great time was had and am looking forward to all of these books!

Two used books and two new ones….but my new favorite purchase is this bag. My shopping experience for #independentbookstoreday was enhanced by the annual Vermont Maple Festival. So fun!

Graciouswarriorprincess I just finished the audiobook of why we read. It was good. Happy reading! 6mo
Suet624 @graciouswarriorprincess Thank you! It looked good! 6mo

#IndependentBookstoreDay and more...

Middle stack are the books I bought in Libreria Laberinto (Labyrinth Bookstore) located in Old SJ. They specialized in books in Spanish but also has books in English. I can find those Spanish books from different countries difficult to find in other local bookstores. Books in Spanish can be pretty expensive many comes from Spain.
Right stack-books from a charity store also in SJ. Not too cheap but⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) they are for a good cause😃

Left stack-books I bought in eBay and they arrived today!! That bookmark describes my social life-where I go and spend my money
📚📚📚💰 😆

Librarybelle Lots of great books! 6mo
LeahBergen Great haul! 👏 6mo
TheBookHippie Nice books!!! ♥️♥️♥️ 6mo

@WildAlaskaBibliophile is working today, but I've still got a busy day. Woke up way too early, so I built our new dinner table and chairs. Made a couple trips to the dump, and passed this eagle. Long overdue deep clean for the car. Obligatory celebration of #independentbookstoreday and a quick brewery stop before finishing my errands and hopefully squeezing in a quick nap 😉

Bookwomble You deserve the nap! And your eagle definitely trumps the pigeons in my back garden! 🦅🐦 Amazing 😃 6mo
kspenmoll What a busy productive day! Nap well deserved! 6mo
lil1inblue I feel like I need a nap just reading about it all! 🤣 Sounds like a satisfying day! 6mo
WildAlaskaBibliophile He had the table, chairs, and bench put together before I even woke up for the day! 6mo

Happy #IndependentBookstoreDay ! I had to visit my favorite indie bookstore and partake of their massive sale. I think I scored some pretty great sounding books.

Recognize any you would recommend from this stack?

Ruthiella I‘ve not yet read it but I have a hold at the library for the new Horowitz book! 👍 6mo
Librarybelle @Ruthiella I enjoy this series and am looking forward to it. Admittedly, I do have to read the previous 2 in the series, but I‘m ready for a binge read! 6mo
TheKidUpstairs I Only Read Murder was fun in a totally ridiculous way! 6mo
