I have continued to think about this book long after I finished reading.

britt_brooke @Kalalalatja Thanks!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 6y
britt_brooke @Emilymdxn Girl, Interrupted was the first one I grabbed. It‘s been in my TBR for a long time. I listened to the audio of Blue Nights recently and it is so good. I wanted a hard copy! 6y
vivastory Great haul! I keep meaning to read Hyperbole & a Half 6y

britt_brooke @TheRiehlDeal I‘m pretty excited about all of those. Amazing what books people donate to these sales! (edited) 6y

jillrhudy What amazes me is, why do the librarians let it be sold instead of putting it in the collection? That hardcover “Murder on the Orient Express” is a great acquisition for a book that gets heavy use. 6y
britt_brooke @jillrhudy These are all books that were donated to the library for the sale. I don‘t think they add any of them to the collection. It‘s a good question, though. 6y
jillrhudy @britt_brooke then they are either dopey or made of money. I have acquisitioned 50 book donations for my fiction area since September when I started keeping track. Someone gave us an entire 1960 set of all the works of Zane Grey in perfect condition. Another person dropped off a complete library of John Grisham in hardback. Once we got 20 Stephen King hardcovers. 6y
britt_brooke @jillrhudy I‘ll have to ask next time I stop by. You‘ve got me curious. 6y
RidgewayGirl Fantastic haul! 6y

Pickpick

What could have been really heavy and difficult to read is actually made palatable with Greene‘s beautiful writing and a cast of memorable characters—who are all playing “roles” or comedians with each other. It had a lighter feeling even though the history of Haiti shown here is horrible.

My favorite book, by my favorite author. The new Folio Society edition is the prize of my bookshelf.
