A mini #bookhaul from the remainders/discount bookstore. I was super excited to find these as 3 out of 4 were on my wishlist for years.

Clockwise from top L:
1) Stream System - Collected Short Fiction of Gerald Murnane
2) Territory of Light - Yuko Tsushima (I think the cover is pretty but it doesn't show up well in the pic)
3) Looking for Mr Goodbar - Judith Rossner
4) The Fortnight in September - R.C. Sherriff

Tamra The Sherriff is 💙💙 1mo
batsy @Tamra Was so thrilled to find it having seen lots of Litsy love for it 😊 1mo
Ruthiella I loved A Fortnight in September-such a gentle story. I read Mr Goodbar in the last century. Good but disturbing, as I remember. 1mo

batsy @Ruthiella I've heard that about Mr Goodbar! Apparently it was also made into a movie with Diane Keaton. 1mo
LeahBergen I think you‘ll love A Fortnight. And I read Mr Goodbar back in the last century, too, @Ruthiella 😆 1mo
marleed I loved A Fortnight. In case you aren‘t aware of its origins, I think it enhances the reading experience to know when and how the book was written. 1mo
batsy @LeahBergen Fortnight seems to be quite universally loved 🙂 1mo
batsy @marleed Don't know too much about it, but thanks for the tip. Will look it up before I start reading! 1mo
Cathythoughts Nice haul. I‘m going to look up Territory of Light. ♥️ 1mo
batsy @Cathythoughts Thanks 😘 I've heard lots of good things about Territory, so I'm hoping it is 🤞🏾 1mo

Do you suffer from bibliomania? John W. Doull does — and his Dartmouth bookstore proves it - by Andrew Sampson on the CBC News website: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/john-w-doull-bookseller-profile-1.691...

Leftcoastzen I would probably want something near the bottom of the teetering stacks on the floor ! Possibly leading me to accidentally knocking it over and owner would kick me out!📚📚📚📚📚😄 2mo

Thanks for the tag @BarbaraBB this is my #Top23of23 ! I downloaded a new photo app on my phone that somehow doesn't go up to 23 grids (doesn't it understand our Litsy needs?!) so I gave up on the photo collage 😆 And I feel bad for not including the translators above. 2023 was a fantastic reading year 💜 I even had to leave out so many, like the Edith Wharton rereads & some of the Furrowed Middlebrow & Golden Age mystery club titles that I liked.

squirrelbrain Great list! 4mo
IndoorDame Great list! Dear Senthuran was one of my top reads this year too! 4mo
Megabooks Great list! 📸 4mo

batsy @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @TrishB @BarbaraBB Thanks 💜 Loved seeing everyone's picks. 4mo
batsy @IndoorDame It's such an excellent book! 4mo
batsy @LeahBergen It's so wonderfully odd and kind of eerie! It's definitely it's own thing and I look forward to what you think. 4mo
batsy @Centique I hope you like it! I found it very moving. 4mo
Aimeesue Great list! 4mo

Ok this may not be #Top10Summer2023 I decided to pick my top 5 as I didn‘t read nearly as many books this summer as I usually do. Life happens. The list and the tag from @batsy helped me decide to revisit what I read.All top notch in my humble opinion .😄

batsy Thank you for sharing! Great list and quality over quantity. Dr. Thorne was so close to making my list, too. I love being immersed in a Trollope book. 8mo
Cinfhen Thanks for sharing!! The Springsteen book sounds like something I NEED to read!! 8mo

LibraryThing has a cool little feature that shows you, once you've catalogued your books, how tall they would be if stacked. My family's collection (in black) is apparently taller than even the tallest stone structure ever made (the Washington Monument)!

#UniteAgainstBookBans #fREADom

Bookwomble That's an impressive stack! 📚 12mo
