Early Poems | Edna St. Vincent Millay

#Bibliophile catch up

I don‘t have an extensive #PoetryCollection so these two new books are a welcome addition. The tagged book is a prize from @TheBookHippie & the Oliver I picked up on #IndependentBookstoreDay last weekend.

A couple of days late but here‘s my #independentbookstoreday haul (plus 3 ARCs they let me have). The sticker is a couple of years old but appropriate for the day, wouldn‘t you say? 😉

BookNAround I do love my indie and they greet me like Norm from Cheers whenever I walk in. 😂 (edited) 3w

Continuing tradition, my cousins & I met to celebrate #IndependentBookstoreDay! We made it to 7 bookstores in one day— our combined haul is (mostly) in the trunk & my personal haul is photographed above! An all over WI adventure & great fun at InkLink Books, Reads By The River, Books & Co, The Bookstore of Appleton & Caramel Crisp Books— we even ducked into 2 Half Price Books (though not indie, I am still desperate for 2 last Sweet Valleys)!

TorieStorieS @emz711 I think we started celebrating in 2020 (the rescheduled year!) and this was our first year repeating a few stores! 3w

Chrissyreadit wow!!!!!!! 3w

TorieStorieS @Chrissyreadit I think we were well prepared this year— we each had lists of what we were looking for (though we all got some impromptu items as well!) to try to be as efficient as possible to get to as many stores as we could! 3w

Chrissyreadit That sounds like the way to go! 🙌🙌🙌 3w

Paradise of the Pacific: Approaching Hawaii | Susanna Moore

I didn‘t do a great job of taking a picture of yesterday‘s #IndependentBookstoreDay haul but I got a good haul. My local indie bookshop, Da Shop had 20% off all purchases, a free bookstore print after 2 pm & a new tote bag with the same print from a local artist plus a few local vendors. So I got 5 books (tagged 1 & I‘ll link the others below), tote bag, bookmarks lots of stickers & postcards from the vendors. The artist that drew the print had ⬇️

I went over my planned spend budget by a bit, but it was worth it. I picked the books that spoke to me as I moved around the shop. And both artists I bought from were really nice—I love supporting local artists.

Made it over to my favorite local bookstore in honor of #IndependentBookstoreDay (/weekend😅). Beers Books motto is “Still No Beer” 😂. Grabbed some fun stuff and a coffee from my favorite local coffee shop. It was wonderful to see both places busy. Hurray! 🎉

(Cosmo, my dog, was mad he didn‘t get to go and tried to take it out on the tote. He got over it with a treat.)

HAPPY INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I've been so excited about this day for weeks now! I got up extra early and went to my two favorite local indie bookstores - Schuler Books and Road Less Traveled Books! It was a blast! They had a ton of free ARCs they were handing out, lots of other goodies, and of course I came home with a huge stack of new books! 🤭📚💕 What a great day! #indiebookstore #independentbookstoreday
