Thanks for taking us along! My wife read a few Anya Seton books years ago and she really liked them.

How fun! I need to remember to look for them when I’m on vacation!

Run, don't walk, back to pick up the copy of Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger. Such a great book!

​@jensreadinglife I'm reading This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger now. It has all the summer feels! My first by this author, but will definitely be picking up Ordinary Grace now!!

I loved that book Katherine years ago and searched for it to read again but can’t find it! Boo hoo. I bet you will love it too. 😊

I couldn't possibly have left that one behind! I'm glad you enjoyed my LFL tour!

Yes! I thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you. Would like to see more LFL's. I cannot find any in my city OR nearby. Maybe just have to hunt better. One of the "bad" things about being in Rehab, is for my wallet! I am bored, restless, in pain, So MY personalized treatment for myself is to ORDER BOOKS! I don't need 1 more bk! I have 3 in here w/me, plus mags and my bible; A friend going to my apt. next week to pick up The Shell Seekers, A Mary Stewart and I forget what else I wrote down. I'm CRAZY, but you know how excess book buying goes...😂😅😁😋😁😆😅

There is an app/website to search for LFLs in your area so maybe try that! I think a little book ordering therapy sounds like just what you need! ❤️

Thanks, Jen! I hope you’ll do another Little Free Library tour in the future. LFLs make me happy. 😃I love opening the doors for a peek even if I don’t take anything. It was nice to see that someone had dedicated their LFL to someone who had passed away. I think that’s a good idea in memory of someone you love. Is it just me or does anybody else tidy up the LFLs when you visit them?

Love LFLs and library sales! That's a great copy of The Outsiders.

Thank you so much!!! I have something fun coming to celebrate very soon! 😁

When I first started going to LFLs, I had better luck. Nowadays, I seldom find anything, despite having access to six LFLs. I suppose it's partly me. As i get older, I am more picky about what I read. I want vintage, mystery, classic or prizewinning young adult or children's, and cookbooks. Part of the problem is that often the LFLs aren't maintained. One time, someone put multiple (like 20) copies of the same children's book--and wiped out all the good offerings. I continue to do the rounds and occasionally find something. It is a good place to offload books. You've given me the desire to go back to a nearby "real" library that offers used books for sale, cheap.

It is fun to see what gems you can discover! And I found a few new ones to frequent!

I love the little gardens on top of the LFL! Anya Seton’s My Theodosia is quite nice. I’m eager to see what you think of her.

You put Death in Venice back?? Big mistake! The Golden Notebook is amazing.

I really loved Katherine by Anya Seton but didn’t like her other books as much…..but it’s a VERY long time ago! Did you donate the Cadfael or put it back? I love Ellis Peters.
