ONLY reading from free little libraries for a week

The concept of Free little libraries is so nice! It'd be nice to have them here.

I love normal people and conversations with friends! I feel like Rooney always writes very realistic characters with realistic thoughts compared to what we are used to reading. It makes me feel closer to the characters throughout their lives and thoughts:)

I think it depends. For me, I thought the characters were super bland, and her handling of characters handling trauma is abysmal.

I love this. I have my own little library on my front lawn and it brings me and the community so much joy.

[@georgiagaither13]

I love Free Little Libraries! There are none around where I live which is sad but I still love them. Also I just finished Better Than The Movies because Haley said it was her favorite romance book ever so I had to read it. It is literally my most favorite book I’ve ever read. I annotated the whole time I was reading and I wrote down the lyrics to the songs on the side of the pages and it was so much fun!! If you haven’t read it you seriously need to!

[@Dayy365]

A good girl's guide to murder is also one of my favorites

[@savysfieldnotes7519]

Bewilderment (by Richard Powers) which you found in the second library is one of my top books! Heartbreakingly beautiful, would recommend!!

Haley is one of my only two comfort youtubers. I watch almost all my videos on 1.5x, but with Haley's I never do. Not because it's a faster pace, but *because* it's so slow and therapeutic. I love the pinterest-y vibes, and the way her videos manage to be entertaining even if you've never even heard of the book she's reading. I always watch her videos as soon as they come out. :)))

Actually "Conversations with Friends" was her debut novel. Glad that you enjoyed "Normal People". I am amongst the party that didn't like it. I'm willing to give her another shot thought. I plan to read "Conversation with Friends" sometime in the future. Hopefully, I'll like that one.

Someone should do these libraries for books their kids grow out of. People who get imagination library books every month could participate too.

This video is directly responsible for me reading Normal People the last two weeks because your review was such a high recommendation of a book I'd never even heard of; thank you. It is really solid, and I thought the no quotation marks around dialogue gimmick would be confusing and annoying, but I kind of get it after reading it and would be interested in experimenting with something like that in my own work. This video's also indirectly responsible for me going to my local library for the first time in about 6 months, I think it's cool that your video about little libraries where you actually preferred a book you owned got me to go to my local library and check out the book you owned.

I don’t know what people do with their books, but the amount of weird sticky spots I found on and in books is very irritating to me. But it’s still fun. Once I found a collection of 12 Agatha Christie books in perfect condition and once I found a collection of 5 books about the former dictator of my country (it was a weirdly sympathetic collection). So it’s always interesting to see which books other people read and which books people want to give away.
