Library Finds 9.14.19

Leave a comment

Found these at my local library recently and ABSOLUTELY meant to post these sooner (but I’ve been SO BUSY TAT)

I’ve already read through 2 of them, The Grownup and Greyhound. I meant to start on The Wild Things, but I just haven’t had the time. I’ll definitely be trying to do so soon.

Reading Spaces #3

Leave a comment

READING SPACES is a feature where I showcase pictures of libraries, collections, books, bookshelves, and whatnot that I find absolutely breathtaking. So I share. These become our many reading spaces and figurative lands to which we sail.

I could only dream of having a room like this in my home (although I hope it’s a dream that comes true one day!!)

Reading Spaces #1: Who Wouldn’t Want A Library Like This?

Since it’s been quite some time since I’ve posted anything in this feature, I think I’ll just start numbering them from #1 and go from there. (It’ll certainly be easier to title these posts, that’s for sure! xD)

Fantasy author Neil Gaiman’s personal library is a book lover’s dream, stuffed to the gills with all manner of novels, reference books, and anthologies, with the occasional gargoyle or mounted stuffed head for good measure.

Literary social network Shelfari visited Sandman and Coraline author Neil Gaiman at his Minnesota home and snapped these pictures of his personal library. Gaiman’s basement is entirely filled with books, awards, and a handful of tchochkes. You can see more, larger images of the library here, but if you just want to know what books Gaiman keeps handy, Shelfari is in the process of creating a digital bookshelf based on the photos…

TIL : Have you ever been to a library sale?

Leave a comment

On this week’s episode of TODAY I LEARNED…

Ever wished you could get used or brand new books for killer deals but had no idea where to go to physically find them?

Well look no further!

Thanks to fellow blogger John Guillen, I’ve learned that there’s a website for that! (Sorry. No apps yet, I don’t think.) It’s called Book Sale Finder, and it basically lets you know when library sales are happening all over the US and Canada! You can search by state and find when libraries are having sales and at what prices you’d expect to see.

As per usual, my local library is doing absolutely nothing to help me out, but hopefully you might have better luck with yours! 🙂
