Hiiii!!!

A happy and excited welcome to a new Library #2 and #3 haul! Yesterday it was time!

First up was Library #3 and Coco had something new! Last time she went in her doggy bag, but this time she was allowed to walk on her own. I went inside and my hubby stayed outside and walked with Coco for a bit, and making sure she didn’t eat any of the things on the floor, dear heavens, the area around Library #3 is DISGUSTING. He had to keep her from eating cigarette butts and other crap. Bleh!
At the library I walked around and found quite a few fun books over at the new releases. They are really doing their best to add some interesting and fun new books. Whereas most other libraries just mostly have the same things, this one really gets some interesting English and Non-fiction books~ I am especially a fan of their photography book chonkers that they keep adding. OK, my shoulders and later on my hubby as he takes over when we are heading back to the car, do not agree. 😂 After that I went up to the children’s department, sadly nothing there. Yes, there was one book, but I could also get that at another library (though it is popular so I will have to wait) and I thought I would rather go for something that only this library has. So I checked out the graphic novel section. At one point I got to the manga section, which is generally the handful of Dutch translated manga that came out once sometime ago, but this time I saw Tokyo Ghoul and a couple of other series and I knew that those had to be in English as Dutch translated manga has been dead for years. I am SO happy that libraries are really invested the rare bits of money they have into also adding English manga. It seems they are finally realising that there is an interest in it (DUH). And I was excited to add two new volumes of Chainsaw Man to my bag, but also saw a Shoujo, which is even rarer. Most of the English manga getting added is Shounen/Seinen. So YEAH! I am so hyped and cannot wait to start a new series (though I need to look up volume 1) and continue with CsW. So this library was a big succes!

Of to library #2 to pick up my 15 reservations (and one I had to do a bit of an effort for as apparently they send the mail that it was ready but it wasn’t ready yet, haha I was too fast) and just look around. Coco came with me this time in her doggy bag. I think she was pretty content with that because she was very knackered from the busy surroundings of Library #3. Though haha, each time she saw someone for potential hugs and attention she was very much awake again.
I had fun walking around the library, hunting for books, asking for help as books weren’t were they were supposed to be, and adding books to my trolly. I had though that I wouldn’t find that much here but in the end I walked away with a very nice haul! So excited about these books~

All in all, plenty of fresh book ink to sniff and read and I cannot wait!

STATS: 12 books at Library #3 and 32 books at Library #2! throws confetti
