I also updated my world map for the end of the year. These are all the countries I‘ve visited through books in 2024. I‘m trying to get better at geography - hopefully I‘ve colored all the correct places! 😅

So I‘ve been keeping a log of what I have read since 1986. Just dates, titles , authors. No reviews , just noting rereads. What a long strange trip it‘s been.

tpixie That‘s awesome 🤩 1mo
dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 1mo
AmyG I have a list since 5/10/74. Isn‘t it wild when you go back to read it….see what you were reading back in the day? 1mo

Suet624 I was just updating my latest journal. Nothing glamorous but packed full of quotes since at least 2002. I moved so much before that time that I think I‘ve lost my earliest ones from the 70s. It‘s a treasure to have them. 1mo
AnnCrystal That's awesome, just began mine in 2023. 📚📔💝. 1mo
Hooked_on_books Mine goes back to the 80s as well, but I don‘t know the date, as I initially didn‘t track that. For years I had a 3 ring binder and loose leaf, as I tracked by author‘s last name and that way I could add pages wherever needed. I would take it with me to the used bookstore to make sure I didn‘t buy any I‘d already read. 😉 1mo
sisilia Wow this is wonderful 😍 1mo
Leftcoastzen @Suet624 I wish I had earlier ones , I used to think I would always remember! ha ha ha! 1mo
Leftcoastzen @AmyG wow ! I had better taste back then I think. I shunned popular stuff . 1mo
Leftcoastzen @Hooked_on_books good old system. I‘m keeping it up despite computerized ways to keep track. 1mo
AmyG Ha! I have better taste now. I read alot of garbage. 🤣 1mo

3.25⭐️

I always appreciate a good #truecrime on something that isn‘t murder. This one touched on book theft which was interesting to learn about. My favorite part was probably talking about initiatives the professional organization took to crack down on theft.

So it‘s been a while since I‘ve been on here but I‘m really hoping to get back to using this app. Here‘s a stack of some of the books I‘m currently reading. I think I‘ll be able to get the nonfiction finished today or tomorrow 🤞

AmyG Welcome back! 3mo
Librarybelle Welcome back! 3mo

Quote from a one-nan show called "Bibliomania" by Roger Rosenblatt. The quote was in a coffee table book on libraries.

In the spirit of Kramer's "coffee table book about coffee tables," here's a "library book about libraries."

5 stars!! This is my second time reading this…..books are kinda dated but it so accurately describes the slow descent into collecting that can happen. If you like books about books - you‘ll like this. Reminds me of 84,Charring Cross Road.

MaGoose I loved both the tagged book and 84 Charring Cross Road, too. 🤎 9mo

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 💙💙 10mo
batsy @Tamra Was so thrilled to find it having seen lots of Litsy love for it 😊 10mo
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. 10mo

batsy @Ruthiella I've heard that about Mr Goodbar! Apparently it was also made into a movie with Diane Keaton. 10mo
LeahBergen I think you‘ll love A Fortnight. And I read Mr Goodbar back in the last century, too, @Ruthiella 😆 10mo
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. 10mo
batsy @LeahBergen Fortnight seems to be quite universally loved 🙂 10mo
batsy @marleed Don't know too much about it, but thanks for the tip. Will look it up before I start reading! 10mo
Cathythoughts Nice haul. I‘m going to look up Territory of Light. ♥️ 10mo
batsy @Cathythoughts Thanks 😘 I've heard lots of good things about Territory, so I'm hoping it is 🤞🏾 10mo
