My Life as a Bibliophile
I just installed a Little Free Library box for my community in my yard. I have already filled it with books and friends and neighbors are stopping by to check it out. There is nothing better than passing on books that I have enjoyed.
Happy reading to all!
I had two gift cards and I spent them on books. Most women would buy clothes or shoes. Not me. Books! Always books!
My fur baby Bella loves to read with me. Here she is reading The God of Animals by Aryn Kyle.
Did someone say SALE! I could not resist. I just have to figure out where to put them. My shelves are overflowing, I have stacks on my desk, in the floor and on the night stand. Even I am now forced to admit it is starting to get out of hand. Let me take that back, the book piles are out of hands.
No worries, I have a solution. All I need to do is move to a bigger house with more room for my collections.
I love book mail! These are the new books I received this week. One book was a gift from a friend. One came from an author for review. Another I requested from a publisher. The rest…. well, I could not pass up because they were on sale. Two of the best words in the world when said together, “Books” and “Sale”. How is a girl to resist?
It must be Christmas! Imagine my surprise when I found a box of books by the door when I arrived home from work. Since I was unable to attend BookExpo/BookCon, Flatiron Books was kind enough to send me these ARCs. I have already added them to my shelves at GoodReads and Library Thing. It was extra exciting to note that all six books had awesome reviews. I am eager to get started reading.
I managed to sneak in a trip to my local used book store. I was looking for books for my grandson and came home with more for me than for him. Isn’t there a buy one for someone and buy two (or three or four) for me rule?
In addition, my Book of the Month arrived today. Therefore, I believe I made out rather nicely. My only problem is my growing TBR list.
