The last of my Newbery hardcover collection and another that remains unread (#LitsyAtoZ here I come!). I know that sticker is atrocious but I don't remove it for the nostalgia factor. I worked at Book Warehouse for two years, met my husband there, and was mentored by the owner when I decided to open my own bookshop. Book Warehouse was open for 30 years and an institution in BR; I was so sad when the owner decided to retire in 2005. #mcpl #mctbr

Another Newbery on my shelves that I need to read. I have very vague memories of reading this as a kid. #mcpl #mctbr

tomes4gnomes Oh, I was so captivated by this when I was a kid — I need to reread. 🏝🐬 7y
JanJan This is one of my favorite books and it will break probably your heart. Enjoy it! 7y
tonyahoswalt I loved this as a kid. Can't remember much about it other than that now. 7y
Slajaunie I didn‘t like this book as a kid. 7y

We all know that books are the #greatestgift, but I rarely get books as gifts because I own a bookstore and everyone thinks I don't need any more books (what's wrong with people? 😂) This was a gift from my MIL, I can always count on her to have at least one book under the tree for me! #christmascarolbuddyread @KVanRead #mcpl #mctbr

KVanRead Love it! That is a very good MIL 7y

Our own #jolabokaflod! Tagged book is for me Remarkable Books was my gift to him. We each flipped through them for a bit but now it's time to fall asleep watching Shop Around the Corner. #mcpl #mctbr

Tonight's #mcpl is another Newbery I've yet to read. Found in a used bookstore without the die cut being trashed which is frankly a miracle (which is further why I don't really like die cut covers). #mctbr

Eggs Read all the Crispin books ❤️❤️ 7y

In a sharp departure from our spate of lovely covers we have this monstrosity. This Newbery winner is the fourth book in a series, does anyone know if it stands alone? #mcpl #mctbr

RachelAmphlett That‘s part of an amazeballs series I read as a teen - highly recommend you get them all! 7y
everlocalwest @RachelAmphlett I guess I'll have to find them all! I do enjoy MG fantasy so I'm looking forward to it! Thanks! 7y
RachelAmphlett @everlocalwest I like Abebooks.com for books that are hard to find - I‘ve been collecting books from my childhood through them for a while 😊 7y

everlocalwest @RachelAmphlett I love collecting vintage books! I've used Biblio a few times for out of print titles but I think I prefer stumbling upon them in used book stores and library sales - the serendipity of it adds to my excitement about my collection. I'm the king of the nerds. 😸 7y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage In my book it has an author's note that says she wrote them all as standalones. The second in this series is my favorite and where the series title comes from - The Dark is Rising - and was a Newberry honor book. (edited) 7y
everlocalwest @BookHoarder32 Thanks for letting me know! A lot of people seem to really love this series! 7y
