1) I try to only buy ones I know I'll want to keep. But when I end up with a book I don't want, I'll give it to someone or put it in my neighborhood Little Free Library

2) I have hankering for some children's fantasy and the tagged book has been on my wishlist for a while.

Thanks for the tag @batsy Want to play @Ruthiella or @Centique

LeahBergen I have the tagged book in a nice little NYRB edition. 😊 4y
merelybookish @LeahBergen I've been eyeing that edition for a while. Even considered it as a candidate for the NYRB book club. 4y
batsy I've not heard of the tagged book! Just by the look of it it's definitely gone straight to the tbr 😂 4y

merelybookish @batsy Did you ever see the 90s movie Secret of Roan Inish? It was based on this book. 4y
batsy @merelybookish No, I havent! But now I have to check it out :) 4y
merelybookish @batsy I haven't seen it since it was released so not sure how it stands up but I enjoyed it at the time. Selkie myth stuff. 4y
Centique Thanks for the tag 😘 4y

This book is finally back in print thanks to NYRB! A classic tale of islands, a little girl, her missing baby brother, the sea, family secrets, and seals. The story will sound familiar to anyone who saw the film version, The Secret of Roan Inish. A sweet and simple story.

LeahBergen Oh, I loved that film. ❤️ 7y
merelybookish I love the NYRB children's collection. 7y
Tamra Looks lovely! 7y
