📚 yes 📚 yes 📚 yes

There are days when I have forgotten my wallet but the bag is always with a book or two ;D

#librarysg is my lifesaver as I can't afford all the books I read 😍📙📖😍

UnLunDun was the first ebook that hooked me to digital reading/ #overdrive
The title wasn't available at the library and I wasn't going to let a different format deprive me.

Q84 Maybe you should keep your wallet with your book bag 😉 7y

BookishMe @Q84 Hehee... I don't always put the wallet back inside the bag, after requiring it. And with cashless payment for public transport (I don't drive), I mostly don't need to carry cash or the wallet especially to work 😅😅 7y

SilversReviews Thanks for playing. That is funny how you forget your wallet but not books, but we bookworms understand. 😊 7y

BookishMe @SilversReviews 💖🤣💖 7y

Fire in the Ocean | K.D. Keenan

Was enchanted by these (that Striking cover is hard to miss!), yet I left the library to catch the arriving bus. Then I returned to the #librarysg cos I knew my mind won't be at peace until I knew more about these books.
Whimsy decision to turn back, and borrow these to celebrate the Double Loan period! (and I hadn't missed c the bus ;))

Parvez Good one 7y

Zelma I love George Carlin. 7y

BookishMe @Zelma I became intrigued when I saw another quote from him, in an ebook after this. Immediately looked him and plan to borrow one of his books. Any suggestions? 7y

Zelma @BookishMe I‘ve only read one of his books, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops. As with most stand-up comedians, I think watching or listening to him is a better way to go. We have at least one of his albums in our collection and I‘m sure there are clips on YouTube. The seven words you can‘t say on tv is one of his most famous bits, but I love anything he does. His bit on the Ten Commandments is fantastic. 7y

BookishMe @Zelma thanks so much for sharing. Will definitely look up your suggestions. TIL he's the first to host SNL. 7y

The Animators: A Novel | Kayla Rae Whitaker

Zipped over to #librarysg to pick this up for #LitsyBuddyRead ;D
Have missed the robust discussions!

My mood reading is chaotic at the moment (while work seems kinda under control - is there something I'm missing ;))
but I have finished the 2nd book for 1001bookswap.

However I am far behind #Booked2018 and this should qualify for the #friendship prompt methinks (since I am not anywhere near the planned #TBR ;o)

Cinfhen Should be a great pick for #friendship 💘👍🏻 7y

BookishMe @Cinfhen I feel the same after reading the synopsis ;D 7y

JoScho It is a good one. 7y

GatheringBooks thankful for our libraries! :) 7y

BookishMe @GatheringBooks AMEN 7y

bedandabook I couldn‘t put this one down. Enjoy! 7y

RadicalReader @BookishMe completely understanding blaming it on Litsy when it comes to reading and book recommendations that is how I got my recent inter library loans 😂😂 7y

This Is My Library | Adam Bellamy

Interesting display at the #librarysg across where I work... As much as I try to support the local independent bookstores (over TBD ;) our local libraries ensure I can read almost all that I want. There is a branch near almost every train station at my side of the island. I don't need a full wallet to fill my arms and bag with books.

So library > bookstore for me
#AprilinBooks18

batsy Yes! Something to definitely be grateful for. Really wish Malaysia had a library system like this 😭 7y

GatheringBooks amen! same here! 7y

Let Me Lie | Clare Mackintosh

Here is my current #AprilTBR The library pretty much dictates what I will read but surely there will be more added as they become available 😊 it looks like a pretty good line up so far #readingresolutions

Jess7

BookishMe I am exactly the same - slave to the library due dates and choice offerings 😆😆 7y

JoScho @BookishMe yes and while sometimes it is a pain think of all that money we save 😊 💴 7y

BookishMe Lol... I can never afford all the books I (get to) read. Can't be grateful enough for #librarysg 7y

swishandflick I loved all four of these, great stack! 7y

JoScho @BookishMe same for me. Libraries are seriously the best ❤️ 7y

JoScho @swishandflick awesome! I am glad to hear that. Thank you 😊 7y

HOTPock3tt Same here about the library lol. I have ‘let me lie‘ on hold... so I guess I will be reading it whenever I am next in line 😅 7y

JoScho @HOTPock3tt I am only about a 100 pages in but so far so good. 7y

A Case of Exploding Mangoes | Mohammed Hanif

bailed

I understand it's soldiers' way of talking but the swearing seemed to go nowhere. With heavy heart, I had to give up on this title. One I was looking forward to, for #DiverseReads and #Pakistan title.

Happier note - the book exchange corners at #librarysg have new pretty shelves!! 😍 😍

Stringer: A Reporter's Journey in the Congo | Anjan Sundaram

I think there are more NF than fiction in my current #librarybooks mostly from #librarysg
Not sure how I feel about that...
The bottom 3 #books & Gertrude Bell have been on my #TBR for a long while. Tagged book is from a past #bookexchange
These #biographies / #memoirs are for #LitWorld2018GB #Booked2018 and #readaroundtheworld - Greece (top book)

KellyHunsakerReads Born a Crime is so good! 7y

BookishMe @Hunsakermountain yes, I have read only good things about it ;D 7y

Smarkies I have been meaning to get to my copy of Gertrude Bell as well! So many books so little time. Plus I am such a slow reader. 7y

BookishMe @Smarkies tell me about it... Bell has been on my list for so long, along with Isabella Bird and Freya Stark. I have no idea how long I will take to get through these titles, or if I read all of them! ;o 7y

staci.reads Born a Crime is so good! Enjoy! 7y
