I have a Goodwill at the end of my street. The last Saturday of the month is 50%. This is my book haul for $7.69! The 4 books on the right are books for me or my daughter to read first. The rest will go in our Little Free Library. I was super excited to find two of The Great Brain books. I loved these books as a kid ❤️

This was the first series I begged my mom for as a child! Adenville,Utah where these books are set, doesn't exist. But Price, Utah is the author's home town and it's not too much of a stretch to think there's some connections between the fictional town and Price. So this is my pick for #SetInYrCity. #SetInYourCity #ReadJanuary @RealLifeReading

Krisjericho You're in Price?! I'm in Roy, up by Ogden. :) 8y

My #FunFridayPhoto is The Great Brain - I loved this series set in the late 1800's about a young boy and his brilliant but mischievous older brother. I remember being so distraught as a kid because there was just one book in the series that my school library was missing, and I never did get to read it...

LukkiAnn I am sure you have a chance to find and read it now☺️ 8y
julieloverofbooks Which book was missing? I managed (not sure how) to get the whole series on EBay a while back 8y
DaveNeufeld @julieloverofbooks I can't remember now, but I have peeked at eBay now and then to find the set too! Maybe I should start hunting again ☺️ 8y
