The Beneficiary: Fortune, Misfortune, and the Story of My Father | Janny Scott

The lovely @DivineDiana gifted me with a local book and bookmarks as well as taking me to the location of the historic estate that the above memoir is based on: The Androssan ❤️What a treat and such a thoughtful gift 🎁 #LuckyLitten #Friendship #PhillyGirls

DivineDiana Glad you like it! #buddyread 😉 5y

TrishB Lovely 💕 5y

Cinfhen @DivineDiana my friend told me last night that the author is teaching this book in the fall at MainLine Night Classes!!!! Sounds amazing 5y

DivineDiana I saw that! It‘s actually a one day, hour and half book discussion. Sounds like a repeat of what I saw at Ardrossan. 5y

Cinfhen Oh, she thought it was a 6 week class 😜 @DivineDiana oh well!! 5y

Big Bad Wolf | Nele Neuhaus

Husband needed to find a suitcase late last night when one of our luggage gave out because it was all booked out. After much pleading hand gestures and hand signals against a closed glass door, a Samsonite employee took pity on this hapless husband of a book hunter and sold him a suitcase, despite the fact that their store is already closed. Tales of a book hunter. Book hunting adventures indeed. Now safely home in Singapore with our new babies.

hgrimes 😅😂🤣 5y

Chrissyreadit Wow!! How amazing! 5y

Nute Golly! That is a moment worth talking about. So happy that the store clerk had a heart of kindness. 5y

DivineDiana There are good people in this world! 5y

Moray_Reads Good lord! No wonder the suitcase couldn't take it! That is a very impressive haul 5y

Cinfhen OMG!! My hubby NEEDS to see this photo!!!!! That‘s an awesome haul!!!!! And it all fit in one suitcase?!?!!! Amazing 5y

GatheringBooks @Cinfhen three suitcases actually. one was fairly old and got all booked out the night before we leave. so it was kind of like a huge panic moment of sorts for us. all good though. husband is a magician!!! walked in the rain to find a suitcase at nearly ten pm! 5y

Cinfhen He‘s a saint!!!! 5y

Cinfhen Glad you & your books are home safe & sound 5y

GatheringBooks @Cinfhen a master chef, suitcase-toting, bookshelf-making hubby, and all around book hauler. 5y

Cinfhen Which book in that stack are you most excited about???? 5y

batsy Wow! Look at that haul! 5y

Cinfhen I totally forgot that your hubby whips up the most amazing meals....#LuckyLitten 😘😘 5y

GatheringBooks @Cinfhen oh gosh. ALL THE BOOKS! the graphic novels are insane. found a Pablo Picasso graphic memoir created by french artists (an international/translated title), a europa edition novel and an NYRB that is worth only 2 dollars (like 1.45 USD). all these are brand new titles. will be posting my book haul soonest! :) 5y

GatheringBooks @batsy have you been to the fair yet???? 5y

GatheringBooks @Moray_Reads i agree. i have been working our suitcases ragged with all my book hunting. i am super guilty. 😭😭📚📚 5y

batsy No, I've stayed away because I haven't made a dent in any of my previous piles, and I'm majorly running out of book storage space 😭😭 5y

GatheringBooks @DivineDiana i agree! last night was nothing short of a miracle 5y

GatheringBooks @batsy gosh. i admire your resolve. seriously. NEW TITLES THO! Diff from last year - perhaps 80% thereabouts. A lot of super recently published ones like Fire and Fury, for example; and Saenz‘ The Inexplicable Logic Of My Life. 5y

batsy Oh god!! There's still a day left... 🙈🙊 5y

GatheringBooks @Nute there were two store clerks actually. one of them said no and was shaking her head; but the other guy laughed at hubby‘s pleading gestures and seeming desperation and let him in despite the fact that they are closed. so yes i am eternally grateful. plus hubby needed to walk in the rain to get the suitcase from a mall that is 15 mins away on foot. i am a lucky book hunter. 5y

GatheringBooks @batsy i went not once but Twice. Six hour bus ride from Singapore. You are a few minutes away. And it is open for 24 hours, plenty of time to change thine mind. The bargain section is a revelation!!! 5y

GatheringBooks @Chrissyreadit this is definitely one for the books, pun intended. 😂😭🧚🏼‍♀️ 5y

batsy Oooff... You're dangerous 😂 5y

GatheringBooks @hgrimes i am just so very grateful they are all back home now. 5y

GatheringBooks @batsy let me know how it goes! tag me if you do change your mind. would love to see your haul. will be posting mine on our site possibly early next year. 🧚🏼‍♀️💕📚 5y

batsy Will tag you if I do! And I can't wait to see your haul when you feel like sharing 😁🙌🏽 5y

Simona Go @batsy ... just go! 5y

hgrimes @GatheringBooks I‘m glad too! Book people problems! 5y

batsy @Simona Uufff Simona!! 😈🙈🙉 5y

RealLifeReading Be still my heart!! 5y

RealLifeReading @batsy go go go!!! 5y

Simona @batsy Go just browsing ....😜 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Wow, no wonder the suitcase gave way! 😄 5y

erzascarletbookgasm @batsy did you go??! Or are you there now? 😅 5y

batsy @erzascarletbookgasm No, I didn't! I couldn't during the day because of work appointments and it's too far & without access to public transport for me to go alone at night :( I'm sorry to let everyone down 😂 @RealLifeReading @Simona What about you, J? Did you get to check it out? I do wish the location was more central :/ 5y

Gissy 🤔I love these swaps. This is the only opportunity to receive books as gift. Not too many readers amongst family or friends😢They think is a waist of time! 😱 @tpixie @robinb 6y

robinb @Gissy glad you‘ve got your Litsy family to fill that need! 😊👍🙌 6y

tpixie @Gissy 🎁❤️🎁 yes sadly my kids don‘t have the passion of reading! I‘m gonna work hard on my grandson though!! 6y

Best Christmas Present Ever! | Ben Mantle

Finally got time to sit down and peruse this vintage literary magazine from July 1917 that my daughter picked up at the Dickens Faire for me. The writing was interesting but the best part were the ads! I love that she gets me and knew I would geek out over this. #luckylitten #luckymom

Suzze So cool! 7y

Zelma Very cool gift! (I used to have to look up obituaries as part of a previous library job. I love the really old ones so I could look through the ads and announcements). 7y

KVanRead @LeahBergen 😊@Zelma These were so cool, especially with WWI time period ...some featured training schools that would keep sons out of the war. 7y

Zelma Interesting! 7y
