This reminds me of the library tales @WanderingBookaneer has to tell 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 #foreword — they are many and varied! Also: “Every library is valuable in its particular way, and each is an example of the role and importance of libraries in the community of humanity.”

Part 2 of the #toc #librarylove

#TOC part 1. Inspired by @TheBookHippie I might do a deep dive on some of these and share some links. Interested? #librarylove

Thanks to my own personal librarian @WanderingBookaneer who brought these home for me! #libraryhaul #librarylove — And by the way, @WanderingBookaneer is back!!!!! Go show them some love! 💕

A real vintage postcard inspired each story in this remarkable collection. Butler uses these brief enigmatic messages to conjure lives at moments of revelation and transition: a father forced to face mortality, a new bride tempted by an alternate path, a formerly enslaved man asserting his dignity, an Alabama spinster seeking adventure abroad, a young South Dakota woman drawn to a stranger. This is masterful craftsmanship, poignant and haunting.

I‘ve been reading this a chapter a week with my book club, and it has been very enjoyable. Magnetic North is a travel log from a woman in the Arctic, and this edition had an afterword ten years later after climate change had really started to take hold. #NonFictionNovember

I went to Maui Friends of the Library in Kīhei yesterday and came away with some fun stuff! They had tons of lovely Hawaiiana and I had to keep reminding myself how much space is left in my suitcase!
2 books, 2 cds (yes, I still listen to cds 👵🏻), and a set of cards made by a Maui artist named Shanti Rowley! +1 free bookmark
Very friendly staff as well. 🌺📚 Mahalo!

Calling my fellow #armchairtravel enthusiasts! #TBRtemptation at #BookstoreOneSarasota — Update: @WanderingBookaneer got this from the library for me, so I‘ll be posting quite a bit about it (you‘ve been warned!)

Started a book about a young chef.
