I visited a Free Little Library this week and got these:
Goodwill Find:
The Free Little Library is not actually finished, there are still quotes that need to be put on the sides, not sure when the artisan will do that. We also plan to add lights so it can be seen at night.
I added 19 books to my Goodreads shelf this week! It's too many to post here 😉
I finished 5 books this week, DNF 2 and have started 2 more (1 fiction,1 audiobook). I am still working on some of the reviews.
I am also linking up with the Sunday Post. The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted at Caffeinated Reviewer. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.

books have you added to your physical or virtual bookshelves? I would
love to hear from you. Click on the icons below to join in on the fun. Have a great weekend!
Congratulations on opening your Little Free Library. One thing that has worked for me is to mix up what's inside if books haven't all disappeared over the course of a few days. I've also had a lot of luck with magazines, and even people who don't read books, stop for these.
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to read the new Katherine Center book, but it doesn't come out until summer I think.
It sounds like you had fun with all the recent visitors, but I'm sure you are also enjoying the quiet now that they are gone!
Hi Deb, I only had 2 people come to the opening, but hopefully traffic will pick up once word really gets out. My daughter's two friends are staying a week and my daughter is here for 2 weeks. I have not read Katherine Center before, so I am looking forward to it.
DeleteWow, love the Little library, we have one here, right up the street from me! Not sure how it works though! Lights on it will be attractive also! Great reads! Have a happy week!😁
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, that's the problem, I think, is that most people don't understand how it works. Here’s how it works!
Delete• We initially stock the Little Free Library with a variety of books
• You stop by and take whatever catches your eye
• You bring books to contribute when you can
I hope this helps and GO enjoy the FREE little library!!
Congratulations on opening The Little Library! The Bodyguard looks so good, I have it also, and I hope we both love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, it will be a bit before I get to it. Have a great weekend!
DeleteCongrats on opening your little free library! I love the color and the design!
ReplyDeleteI'm not an introvert, but I think I'd be exhausted after all of that on Saturday too, lol. I'm glad you at least had a good time full on laughter! :)

Thanks Jenni, I am super excited about the library! I hope you had a good weekend, thanks for dropping by!
DeleteCongrats on your new Little Free Library! Love the design... I'm sure you're going to hav a lot of fun with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks JoAnn, I think I am. I saw the cutest little visitors out there a little while ago and they ran away so happy each clutching a little book!
DeleteI love the design of your Little Free Library! How fun! I hope you get more visitors soon.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your exhaustion after a weekend of guests. So fun, but so taxing. 🙂
I enjoyed the Brunstetter Hawaiian series.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Hi Gretchen, my husband did a great job designing it and our friend did a great job building it! I love that it is metal so it very durable! I have read other Brunstetter books, but not this series.
DeleteThat does sound like a busy weekend! And yay for the little library! I bet that felt good to open that up. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care this week.
Greg, yes, I felt like I had been waiting FOREVER!!!!
DeleteThe Little Library is so cute! Congrats on it! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteCongratulations - your Little Free Library looks great! I love the idea; I'm sad that we can't have one (due to HOA restrictions.) As far as getting the word out, if you register your LFL with littlefreelibrary.org and share your location, they can put it on their World Map, so people searching in your area can find it... but that means being comfortable sharing your location, which you may not want to do. Whatever you do to get the word out, I hope your LFL is a huge success!
ReplyDeleteLark, thanks so much! I have registered it on the World Map with my location, it will take a few days to get up, but I had to wait until I had a picture of it.
DeleteCongrats on your Little Free Library, you seem to have great fun with it! I see more and more in my neighborhood. We are just renters, so I don't want to bother our awesome landlord with requesting permission to set one up
ReplyDeleteEmma, that's great that you have several in your neighborhood! There are only 2 in our zip code and neither one is super close to us.
DeleteI see you also enjoy rom coms. I have been reading a few here and there and liking them. Good luck with your little free library. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHarvee, I do love rom coms!! Thanks for the well wishes for the library, I am excited! Have a great week!
DeleteOo your Little Free Library is so cute!! I love it! I have always wanted to do that. I feel inspired now to do this as a spring project!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I hope you do!! IF so, be sure and tell us about it!! I would love to see pictures.
DeleteYour Little Free Library is adorable! The one in my neighborhood is just a red box. It's not even big enough to fit tall books. :)
ReplyDeleteAj, I wanted a shelf in both of them, but it didn't happen (miscommunication), but I was very clear that it HAD to be able to accommodate tall books!
DeleteNet Galley seems to be a big thing here around the blogosphere. Congrats on all the books. My first Stack the Shelves is up. 9 new ebooks, argh, too many! lol

Lyn, I first started on Net Galley in 2016 for one book. I did not understand how it worked and didn't start using it consistently until 2020 (I think). In 2021 I felt like I requested way too many books and never caught up with everything I obligated myself to do. This year I have cut WAY back!
DeleteCongratulations on the opening of your Little Library! It sounds like you had a great weekend. I am glad you were able to spend it with family and friends. Your new books all sound good. I hope you enjoy them! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, it was a good/busy weekend. With my daughter's friends still here it has been a good/busy week! I am trying to play catch up while they are still sleeping, LOL.
