Whee! Birthday weekend means a browse at the library book sale (conveniently always around my birthday!) where I got some amazing books. I've already read On Beauty and Americanah, but thought that they needed a good home! Don't you just love library sales? I got these & 17 kids books for under $20

acg Nice haul! 👍 8y
Matilda Awesome! I really liked A Tale for the Time Being. 8y
LitHousewife Nice work!!! Happy birthday, too. 😊 8y

Reviewsbylola Wow your library had a great selection. 8y
bookishkai Blackout is SO good, but you'll want to have the second book, All Clear, at the ready because it very literally picks up right where Blackout leaves off. 8y

quirkyreader Darn iPad, Breath, Eyes, Memory is very good. You got some major scores. 8y

MeganAnn Library sales are awesome! I always find something I've been meaning to read, something new I've never seen before, and a few old favorites for myself or my son. 8y
razmanda Americanah is stellar, enjoy! 8y
BookMusings I want to put in a good word for Frog Music. It had such mixed reviews but I thought it was wrenching, maddening and amazingly well done. 8y
thebookmagpie A Tale for the Time Being and Americanah are two of my favourites! Happy reading :) 8y
Titania Good picks! You'll need to pick up All Clear to go along with Blackout. It's a long read, but soooooo worth it! 8y
BookishFeminist Great haul!! Some favorites of mine in there. :) 8y
