The Poisonwood Bible | Barbara Kingsolver

One of my favourite events of the year 👏👏👏

📚🤓❤️

TheBookAddict I love the Charlotte Holmes series! I need to get the whole series. I like the colorful book spine. What‘s that book about? 5y

Bookish.SAM @TheBookAddict ... After James? That was a totally random pick. Canadian author. The blurb had me at “literary detective” and that the novel unfolds “in great cites, remote regions and deadly borderlands.” 🤞 it was a good random grab

MayJasper I fancy from the spine picture

After James

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego A great book

The Poisonwood Bible

Bookish.SAM Glad to hear it sounds like I picked some goodies 😊 The Poisonwood Bible has been on my radar for ages and the Charlotte Holmes are new to me but seem right up my alley @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @TheBookAddict 5y

Bookish.SAM @MayJasper Those pretty spines seem to be appealing to lots of us 😊 5y

MayJasper I have also read The Poisonwood Bible. Excellent read and quite a chunkster. So sad how that area knows no peace today. 5y

TheBookAddict I hope you enjoy your picks. Let me know what you think of Charlotte Holmes. I love anything Sherlock Holmes. 5y

MrBook #NiceStack! 😊 5y

Hurricane Punch | Tim Dorsey

My oldest #bookhaul pic is from 3 years ago from the #Rockcliffebookfair, which used to be one of my favourite events. Last time I went it had gotten too big and was a bit of a nightmare to navigate. 😞
I‘ve only read 4/11... tried 2 others but it just wasn‘t the right time for those guys. All the 📚 that I haven‘t read are still on my radar though. This challenge is a great reminder for me to get back to them!

Lcsmcat Thanks for playing! 5y

rabbitprincess I think three years ago was the last time I went to the Rockcliffe book fair too! (I'm assuming you're in the Ottawa area?) Haven't been for the past couple of years because I kept having bought lots of books in the UK. Might try again this year though! 5y

Bookish.SAM Yep @rabbitprincess ... I‘m in Ottawa. I was super bummed last time I went. So crazy busy you couldn‘t move, I had to bail. I think they do a different locations in the building for the spring and fall sales so I must have been going to different seasons than last time. I think the fall one is the good space... maybe... Do you know if any other good book sales in the area? (Not gonna be in the UK any time soon 😜) 5y

rabbitprincess @Bookish.SAM The spring one is usually at the library and they have tents outside too -- that one I remember being really busy. The fall one's at the public school next door and there's a bit more room to manoeuvre. The book sale I go to most often is St. Matthews Anglican Church held as part of the Great Glebe Garage Sale. We go right when it opens and it isn't terrible crowd-wise. 5y

The Gunslinger | Stephen King

Picked up some more Stephen King (among other things) at the #Rockcliffebookfair to prep for my ‘extended Dark Tower‘ reading plan.

And then I had to pull out the rest of my King just to see them all together...and then it occurred to me that I‘ll have to rearrange my bookshelves to make room for them to live together...and then I got all perturbed about what to read next...and then I had to walk away and get some 🍷
🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️📚❤️😂

LauraJ Sounds like an appropriate sequence of events. 6y
