Who went overboard at the Friends of the Library used book sale? Def not me! It‘s all for the library, right? 😉
I had a great time at the used bookstore yesterday! Love heading there for backlist titles. I found the tagged book for #ReadingtheAmericas2023 and The Lake House for #AuthorAMonth. 👍🏻 The rest were impulse buys. I was looking for Cormac McCarthy and Kamila Shamsie, too, but they didn‘t have any by either of them. Still a very fun morning!! 😁😁
pickA friend suggested this book and wow, what a powerful, heartbreaking story about violence and hate, love and forgiveness, remorse, historical legacy, happenstance, and hope. Moving between Haiti in the 1960s and NYC in the present, this book tells the story of a man with a dark secret and how it shapes not only his life and that of his family but also so many others. Recommended.
Went to the used bookstore this weekend intent on splurging. Goal met. #bookhaul
Went to a used bookstore I‘ve never been to today, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good their selection was. The only problem is figuring out which one to read next! -Becca
I just so happen to be reading two books set on islands: The Dew Breaker is set in Haiti (and also New York); Moving Sideways Like A Crab is set in Trinidad. Just right for #junetunz #laislabonita (and also #onemoretry at actually continuing posting for #junetunz 😀)
I went to the library today to return a whole bunch of books. I told myself I wouldn't take any books outs today, since I don't want to distract myself from reading Middlemarch.

I ended up with this small #LibraryHaul. It's only three books though, so at least I left with fewer books than I came in with.

It's rather late in the day and the sun is setting and I better post this before the day is over. It's mid-Jan! How are your bookish resolutions and TBRs going?
And for today's prompt, #publishedinthe2000s here are some that I have yet to read. Have you read any of these? Which would you recommend?
