Well the book I posted this under got cut off in the photo. But here‘s some more of my current book collection. Some are books I saved from the hurricane damage by taking them with me when we evacuated and some are books I have gotten since then. #bookshelf #shelfie #stupidhurricane

This was a replacement for a book that had to be thrown away after the hurricane. #honestlife #parenting #natural #nontoxic #stupidhurricane

I‘ve been kind of MIA from here for a while and I actually lost the majority of my book collection in Hurricane Florence (either to water damage or to mold). This is some of my small current collection. Some were ones I took with me when I evacuated and some are ones I‘ve been gifted or bought at the library book sale more recently. #stupidhurricane

BookishMarginalia Big hug — we lived through #HurricaneMaria 5y
Vexingcircumstance @BookishMarginalia it was annoying because our house didn‘t take that much damage but with the water that Did come in the two small holes in the roof and the power out for a week and us not able to get home for over three weeks due to flooded roads mold overtook the house and infested everything. We were able to clean most (but not all) of our movie collection and could wash anything cloth but everything else had to be trashed. :/ 5y
Vexingcircumstance @BookishMarginalia luckily I had taken at least some of my books with me when we evacuated. I took the hard or impossible to replace ones and I took most of my daughters books. 5y

Megabooks I‘m so sorry! 💜💜 5y
BookishMarginalia That just sucks. 😕 We we‘re without power for 4 months but we were lucky; we didn‘t lose anything but a few trees and a section of gate. 5y
Vexingcircumstance @BookishMarginalia some people here were without power longer than we were. We lived downtown. So our power was among the first to come back (which I only knew from friends checking on my house for me). But since we were stuck out of town it didn‘t help much. Looters stole most of the electronics and my husband‘s antique guns and some other random stuff and trashed the place. And the mold took over the rest. 5y
TiredLibrarian @Vexingcircumstance Wow, that sucks. Glad you're OK and there were some books you were able to save. ❤ 5y
Tamra I‘m sorry! 5y

SassyBookworm Goodness that‘s terrible. I‘m so sorry that happened to you & your family. Hopefully you‘ll find some great replacements soon. Well wishes for a better 2019! 5y
BookBabe That‘s so awful 😭 I‘ve made it unscathed through hurricanes, but I‘ve had my home get flooded like 6 times over the years due to various other factors like pipes bursting, etc. I know what that‘s like to come home and find everything moldy and disgusting. It‘s so horrible. I feel for you and your family. *Big hugs!!* 5y
