Great collection of unusual holidays from around the world! Some of them are fairly old in origin, they don‘t give the exact date they started though. Still good though.

... it‘s almost here!

The Decatur Book Festival starts Friday! I‘m so going to miss seeing so many book lovers and authors in person, but if the summer Joshilyn Jackson Reads series is a warm-up, this is going to be a great virtual month of bookish happiness.

On Sky Arts. I know some people are going to this (so jealous btw 😂📚📖) but this means that you won't miss out if you're not, not sure of timings on the television. 😘📚📖

Cathythoughts I must have a look and see if I can get this ..... 👍🏻♥️ 5y

My most favorite weekend of the year is a wrap for 2018. Here is the #bookhaul! There may be one more book in the bag for the #FavoritePoetSwap 🤔Madeline Miller was definitely a highlight. She was so humble and kind and even teased that her next book will involve characters from the Aeneid. And Heather June Gibbons surprised me with a very touching inscription that I will treasure always. Already counting the days until the 2019 festival!

RidgewayGirl I had a great time at the Decatur Book Festival, too! Madeline Miller was a wonderful way to start a perfect weekend!. 6y
Theresa I love the DBF! I wish I'd gotten away with a haul that small. In my defense, some purchases were for friends. #blewthebudget 😂 6y
mklong @RidgewayGirl @Theresa I‘m glad you all enjoyed it too! Maybe next year we can do a meet up. 6y
RidgewayGirl @mklong Definitely! 6y
