Journal of a Solitude | May Sarton

#BookHaul from The Book Barn in Niantic, CT. Can you believe I visited exactly one structure in their sprawling, 3-location empire before my hands got too cold and I quit? 😅🥶 My wallet gives thanks to Mother Nature.

JamieArc Have you read the tagged? If not, you‘re in for a treat. I really loved it, and while I rarely reread, this is one I definitely want to. 4d

monalyisha @JamieArc I haven‘t! And yay! You know I take your endorsements seriously. 😉 While browsing, I sat down in a worn orange chair and read the first few pages to make sure I liked the writing. I was sold. 4d

JamieArc I read it at the height of the pandemic and it was just lovely. I have an orange chair in my office that I use to take reading breaks 🧡 4d

slategreyskies I received The Collected Poems of May Sarton as a gift a few years ago. It was a used copy, and when I opened it up to begin reading, we were both surprised to find out that it was signed! I treasure it now, even more so than I would have otherwise. Also, I have so many of her journals as well. Her writing calms me. 4d

AmyG Other Birds was so lovely. 4d

monalyisha @slategreyskies That‘s all so wonderful! I know nothing about her, actually. Good to know my instincts can be trusted. 😊 4d

Tamra The Last Report is one of my all time favorite novels. 💙 4d

Hooked_on_books You found some good ones! An Immense World is phenomenal. 4d

The Library Sale | Bonhams Chelsea

Went to the library store solely to get books for my free book area in my office at work… a few tumbled into my arms for me. All for $10.75…. Am I sorry 🤔 Nope.

Little Women (Little Women, #1) | Louisa May Alcott

A copy of Little Women for my mom for Mother‘s Day (I don‘t think she‘s ever read it??? But we saw the Greta Gerwig version in theaters together when it came out) and a couple for my own pile because 🤷🏻‍♀️ #bookhaul

The greyscale miniature edition 😂
I didn't actually realise when I ordered them that White Nights was such a slim volume or that I was colour coordinating my purchases 😆

Songs of Waking | Jonathan Simons

This was my day's #bookhaul 📚
• Seven Days is a poetry collection by Clarissa Graves, Robert's older sister. 1927 first edition, a browse through which seems promising.
• Songs of Waking is a poetry collection by Jonathan Simons of offline publisher Analog Sea. I love their books and picked this up without noticing the rather hefty-for-a-slim-book price of £16.99 😳 Still, a thing of beauty is a joy forever!
• A Book of Narrative Verse is a ⬇️

Bookwomble ... poetry collection (I'm sensing a theme here 🧐) of longer form verse, which I think after a few decades of short form poetry reading I may now be ready for.
• The Second Edition of Edward FitzGerald's Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám by E. Heron-Allen is my favourite of these acquisitions, as I've been looking for a critical edition forever, and this is it! It's another first edition, 1908, so not exactly cutting edge, but then it's the only one ⬇️ (edited) 2w

Bookwomble ... I've ever come across, and it's lovely 😍
• Penguin Parade 1 is a collection of short stories published in this 1937 edition for the first time. A couple of authors I've heard of, but mostly unknown to me. If I like this one, the bookshop has a run of the following issues (unless someone beats me to them!)
• Finally, the book I actually went in for is the hardback collection of zine articles by Weird Walk. It's lush 💛 2w

TieDyeDude Nice haul! Sounds like checked off some big wishlist items. 2w

Leftcoastzen Wow! 2w

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude ✅ Definitely for the Rubáiyát study 🤤 2w

Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen "Wow!" was my reaction to seeing Songs of Waking, and a sharp intake of breath to seeing the Rubáiyát study. I might go so far as to say that I then "released a breath I hadn't realised I was holding!" ? 2w

Walking in the Rain | dept. store for the mind

My intention today was to recreate a childhood impression of coziness by going shopping in the rain, getting drenched to my underwear, then find a café and steam up the windows as I dried out over a cup of tea and a plate of toasted teacakes. Well, the shopping was to pick up ONE book, but that became a two-package #bookhaul and a jigsaw, so, money for tiffin spent, I dripped home and made my own afternoon tea!

TheBookHippie Perfection! 2w

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 2w

LeahBergen That sounds like a perfect day! 2w

Bookwomble @LeahBergen It was pretty good 😊 Although I didn't carry out my full intention, the problem with that was also the consolation 😄 2w

The Familiar: A richly imagined, spellbinding new novel from the number one bestselling author of Ninth House | Leigh Bardugo

#Bookhaul for April 9th, 2024

Just one book today, The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo. I‘m a huge fan of her Alex Stern series (Ninth House, Hell Bent) so of course I will buy any other novel aimed towards adults she writes!

Has anyone else picked this one up today?

TrishB Yes 😁 Waterstones special edition. 2w

Pruzy @TrishB Ooh what does it have that makes it a special edition? 2w

EKonrad I just finished an arc. It was SO good!!! 2w

Pruzy @EKonrad I‘m glad to hear that! Also congrats on getting an arc too 😆 2w

AlaMich Mine arrived two days ago. I love the black sprayed edges. I haven‘t read any of her books before, but this one is waaayyy in my wheelhouse! (edited) 2w
