If Bartlesville's Walls Could Talk | Vicki Stewart, Debbie Neece, Barbara Garrison

My husband spent some time working in Bartlesville. Finding this book at a used bookstore in New Orleans was a hoot. #secondhandbooks #oklahoma

LeahBergen That E. Nesbit has me intrigued! 1y

Centique @Jeg @batsy when I was a teenager Weldon was very popular so it seemed very grown up to read her! I read Puffball and The Heart of the Country back then but I‘m not sure I‘ve read any since. I will look up the one you mention @batsy it sounds good 😊 1y

Centique @LeahBergen and an introduction by Streatfeild 😍 1y

Second Hand Book + Comic store | Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (Bookstore)

pick

I found such a cool bookshop today - stumbled upon it while getting my daughter a bag for University - it doesn‘t have a listing in the database but this is pretty close. It‘s named after the Elizabeth Goudge book @LeahBergen and it‘s got a great selection of vintage childrens books. Book haul to follow! #greendolphin #secondhandbooks

Ruthiella I read The Green Dolphin. 1/2 takes place in NZ, though Goudge had never been there. 1y

batsy It looks absolutely wonderful! Those vintage editions 💕 1y

LeahBergen Gahhhh! Look at all those beauties! 😮 1y

Centique @Ruthiella wow! I never knew that! Now I have to read it 💕 1y

Centique @batsy @LeahBergen so many! And I so rarely see these in NZ, I was amazed. 1y

rockpools Seriously! It looks like my childhood bookshelf transported itself through time and space, and wound up in NZ! (Kind of 😂😂 - but we owned a good few of those, in these editions!) 1y

rockpools THE PINBALLS! Random fact, if I remember right, they use mayonnaise in their cake-baking. Which always struck me as odd. 1y

Centique @rockpools there must be a wormhole in this shop! Yes, so much like my childhood bookshelves too. 😍 1y

Centique @rockpools I think I have a recipe somewhere that does that too! But I haven‘t read The Pinballs, I might go back and get it! 1y

rockpools @Centique Did you ever read Betsy Byars? She tended to write very ‘issues‘y stuff, so not a barrel of laughs - I think this was set in a children‘s home or the care system. But it definitely stuck! Down to remembering ridiculous details… (I‘m probably thinking of a totally different book now 🤔) 1y

The Wind Through the Keyhole: A Dark Tower Novel | Stephen King

😱My book fell apart … my sanity is closely behind.

#Itsasign #StephenKing #whenyoureadtoohard #broken #wellloved #secondhandbooks

kspenmoll Oh no!!! Tape your book- do you need help taping yourself? Much love to you.💙 2y

Doodles67 It is a tragedy to lose a book you love. 2y

quirkyreader Time to get the Stephen King themed washi tape out and fix things. I use bee themed ones to fix my books. 2y

Sleepswithbooks @kspenmoll - Taping myself is out of the question… I‘d look like a mummy. Taping my book won‘t work either, every few pages falls apart. I may repurpose some of it into cards for #litsylove after I read it. 📖💌 2y

kspenmoll @Sleepswithbooks I love your sense of humor! Looking like a mummy would not be ideal. @quirkyreader has the right idea. If that does not work,making cards sounds wonderful! (edited) 2y

I have this great desire to go to the second hand book shops and go crazy. I haven't been in so so long 😫 really hope can go soon. Plus this pic is absolutely beautiful 😍 📖🦋 #needmorebooks #charitybooks #secondhandbooks #bookshop #bookbug #butterflies #dragonflies

Enchanted_Bibliophile That is eye-candy! I visited our little second hand store yesterday. It was so cathartic. I highly recommend to go! 2y

hannah-leeloo I use to go a lot before lock down @Enchanted_Bibliophile I really miss the magic and mystery of what you might find. 2y

Enchanted_Bibliophile I find going to any bookstore very therapeutic. Browsing and just being surrounded by books is magical. 2y

hannah-leeloo It really is ❤ @Enchanted_Bibliophile hopefully soon 2y

tokorowilliamwallace I go thrifting weekly. This is how I mainly source my books. Yes, I prefer the adventure of discovering the miscellaneous to seeking out go-to authors or newly published. 2y
