Another day, another National Trust used bookshop @Cupcake12 ! ? This one was in a stable block, with all the books on the stalls!

6 books acquired this time, only 2 for me. @Oryx - I seem to recall you buying the tagged book on our Manchester #meetup? I also got Unsheltered, which I have on my Kindle TBR, but this is a hardback with printed edges for only Qa....

Lots of rain again today but hopefully tomorrow will be better...

Oryx I did - although I have to admit I bailed on it. Possibly a case of wrong book at wrong time. I could see it was a good book, but it just wasn't drawing me in. 3y
Oryx Good stack though! I like my local national trust bookshop. 3y
squirrelbrain Ah well @Oryx - it will languish on my TBR shelf for a long time I‘m sure! 3y

I get to go to the DSM Book Festival on March 28th (9am-7pm Downtown Des Moines)!

And I bought VIP tickets to events with Taylor Jenkins-Reid AND Tayari Jones! 😍😍

If anyone plans to come this way I‘d love to meet up!

RamsFan1963 I'm jealous. I'd love to meet Chuck Klosterman, I think his writing is hilarious. 5y
Reggie I‘m so jealous, but also so excited for you!!!!! 5y
BlameJennyJane @RamsFan1963 I‘m a bit embarrassed to say he was the author I wasn‘t familiar with. But I‘ve looked into him a bit more and am excited to learn more about him now that he‘s on my radar. 5y
BlameJennyJane @Reggie thank you! Honestly, Des Moines is far from the reading capital of the world and it‘s been more than 10 years since I left library programming work and I don‘t think I‘ve attended a single author talk since. My last big book talk was Adriana Trigiani back in 2010 maybe. So having this is like Christmas! 5y

👋🏽 @LibrarianRyan just wanted to let you know that I do remember that I had mentioned an #IllinoisMeetUp. It wasn‘t my intention to not follow through with it, things and life have just happened so February got away from me. If you‘re still up for it maybe we can discuss when and where would be most convenient for us, since you were the only one who responded. Let me know. Hope you‘re well. 😊 🚗 🚙 #meetup

LibrarianRyan I‘m up for it. Winter was just a bad time. And if we have an actual date we might get more people interested. I am also hoping to do an ALA meet up. 5y
TheBookAddict @LibrarianRyan yes, winter was a bad time. Awesome, I‘ve never organized anything like this, I‘m excited. What‘s an ALA meet up? 5y
LibrarianRyan @TheBookAddict the American Library Assoc. has their annual conference in Chicago this year. 5y
TheBookAddict @LibrarianRyan ah, nice! That sounds interesting. 🙂 5y

Thanks to my #meetup buddies for a wonderful day! @Oryx @TrishB @charl08

Here‘s my #bookhaul - the top 4 were bookswaps and I did buy one book (The Martian) for my husband so not *quite* as greedy as I appear! 🤣 All bought with Christmas money though.. 👍😁

Thanks to @Cathythoughts for the chocolate - we managed to wrestle some of it off Trish; she really didn‘t want to give it up! 🤣

TrishB 😂😂 a great pile from a great day 👍🏻 hubby has loved the chocolate! 5y
Cathythoughts Look forward to your thoughts on The Dutch House ! We have it for Bookclub next Friday ( my choice 😬🤞🏻) .... so glad the chocolate went down well & @Trishb shared 😂 & glad her hubby had some too 5y
Oryx You need to show off the sides of the Dutch House 👌 5y

Any Northern Illinois Peeps out there? Or Wisconsin peeps near Rockford, IL?

Just wondering if anyone would want to meet up and have some Bookish discussions or just get together?

LibrarianRyan Few hours away from Rockford but I can travel with enough notice 5y
TheBookAddict @LibrarianRyan awesome! I was thinking maybe sometime in February just to give us plenty of time to plan and see if anyone else wants to join us. 5y
