waves Hi!!

Welcome welcome welcome all!! Welcome to a GIGANTIC Library #2 and #3 haul! Whoo!

So yesterday it was high time to go to the libraries again. Haha, well, for part I wanted to go, but for part I didn’t want to go. Because there was an event at our local police/fire department with all sorts of cool things and last year was really fun. But oh well, books had to go back, at least Library #3’s. XD

First off to Library #3 and orienting back on where the heck everything was this time. Because now floor 3 was closed. XD So I had to find out where all the books were for that floor + also find out where the graphic novels went this time. Last time I visited they were on floor 4, but apparently (according to a grumpy librarian) it was now on 2… so I could go all the way back down. I had lots of fun searching for books and I am very happy with what I found. I got some new graphic novels and a comic. I can try Pumpkin and see if it is better than her previous book. And I am so hyped about the chocolate book, so many yummy 🤤 recipes (both new and ones I already know).

Then off to Library #2, this time my hubby came along as it was raining and he wasn’t eager to stand some more (the benches were all in the open). I had 23 reservations waiting + a few that I had reserved but the library hadn’t found yet. And I had 8-ish books still at home. So that meant I still had plenty of playing room to find some more books. I am excited to say that I found almost all the reservations. Just one I didn’t find. Plus, I found some great books while walking around, including apparently volumes 3 and 4 of Chainsawman of which I reserved volume 1 because I didn’t know that there were more volumes (and according to the catalogue.. there is only volume 1😆). I am very excited about today’s haul. So happy they are FINALLY adding more manga, but I do hope that they are going to add all the volumes and not just random ones. Because manga doesn’t work like most western graphic novels/comics. You cannot just start with volume 6 of Boruto. Or with volume 15 of Attack on Titan. I did send in a request a few months ago… but given how they never seem to do anything with requests (which is why I stopped requesting books) I am worried about it. Oh well. And I am very excited about Solitaire. Then again, so far I have been excited about all of Oseman’s written novels and so far DNF-ed them all. I love Heartstopper, but the normal novels just aren’t working. But I am hoping this one might! Crossing fingers! Plus, I cannot wait to dive into some cabins with Cabin Fever, I flipped through it and it looks gorgeous. Also added some dog books because SOON I can go searching again and want to add some more knowledge and cute puppers to my brain.

As you can read and soon will see, lots of books. I am so happy and I cannot wait to read them. OK, well, I definitely couldn’t wait. I already read 3 books (one comic, one doggo book, and the book about Venice/Venetië). 🙈

STATS: 47 books, 12 Library #3 and 37 at Library #2. 13 comics/graphic novels. 14 non-fiction. 4 picture books. 16 fiction.

NOTE: First picture is Library #3 and the rest is Library #2.
