Mudlark�d: Hidden Histories from the River Thames | Malcolm Russell

#libraryhaul! Was very excited to have these ready for pick-up today. A couple of graphic memoirs and especially looking forward to tagged. It is gorgeous and sounds so fascinating.

It's been AGES since I was last here!
I haven't had the mental bandwidth recently to read much (partly due to my usual summertime dysphoria) which is frankly a horrifying state of affairs. Let's hope this #libraryhaul comes to the rescue.

CatLass007 @kathedron When I first began having depression when I was around 30, I lost the ability to focus enough to read. It made me even more depressed. I used to read 2-4 books per week. Eventually, I decided to give audiobooks a try. I have been hooked on audiobooks ever since. It‘s definitely better to listen to an audiobook than not to read anything at all. I encourage you to try at least one to see how it might help you focus. 2w

KathyWheeler Audiobooks have helped me through depressive periods as well because I‘ve just not had the mental bandwidth to concentrate on reading, but I could handle someone reading to me. 2w

kathedron @CatLass007 @KathyWheeler My husband is a (recent) convert to audiobooks, too; I've downloaded the Borrowbox app. 2w

CatLass007 @kathedron @KathyWheeler That‘s great! Good for you. 2w

Sooo…a couple weeks ago most of my holds came in. When it rains it pours. 😂😂😂Been making my way through an interesting selection.

Ruthiella I don‘t dare put more than four on hold at a time. What a stack! 👍 2w

SW-T @Ruthiella Usually they come in a couple at a time. Guess the stars were aligned or something. They‘re keeping me busy though, so not gonna complain (too much 😂). 2w

Mooncakes | Suzanne Walker

I might have gone a little overboard with my #libraryhaul today 😅 but the librarian who checked me out was really enthusiastic about Mooncakes and we had a fun chat!

Bookish.SAM Overboard with a #libraryhaul!?! No such thing! 📚❤️ 3w

Tamra That‘s the one downside to self checkout, the missed opportunity to chat about the books. 2w

Bloody Scotland: New Fiction from Scotland's Best Crime Writers | James Crawford

Most of this year‘s McIlvanney Prize longlist novels are part of series and not the first book in those series. This is the first set of books to “catch up” to the nominated books. 😅 I love my library. #bookhaul #libraryhaul (Oh and PS: there are two other non-longlist new releases here that I‘m really excited about). (PPS: Bailey wanted to be in the picture, too 🙄)

rabbitprincess Yay! I love the McIlvanney Prize; always lots of good reading. Enjoy! 3w

mabell They‘re such good “helpers”! 🐶❤️ 2w

Veggies & Fish: Inspired New Recipes for Plant-Forward Pescatarian Cooking | Bart van Olphen

My small #libraryhaul 📚Went to pick up my hold on Unlikely Animals & saw the tagged cookbook & Trailed on the new books shelves & they had to come home with me as well.

Next to my main neighborhood library is a school & the 1st Saturday of the month they have a craft fair. I wanted to shop for a couple swap boxes (I bought the coolest koa wood bookmarks & cards 😍) & grabbed the chicken salad sandwich I am obsessed with (the homemade rosemary⬇️

DebinHawaii …focaccia bread & pickled onions & arugula make it 🧑🏼‍🍳). Aren‘t you a quasi-pescatarian/vegetarian, Deb? Why yes, mostly, but I make an exception for great chicken salad sandwiches!🤷🏻‍♀️I may or may not have grabbed a large square of smoked caramel turtle Browne too…🤦🏻‍♀️Now, I tired & would love a nap, but promised a friend I‘d help them with a work presentation. 3w
