Another Massive Book Haul

[@starian72]

clean getaway was a good one! the sun does shine was really good!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Good to know! I'm looking forward to them!

[@SpenelliSpeaks]

This is such a great haul! I recently picked up that Shrinking Rat book as well - sounds interesting!! I love a good haul! So exciting!! ::)) Dani

[@WildeBookGarden]

I also really want to get to Clean Getaway! And I heard from a friend who’s read both that Love & Gelato is a contemporary romance but Love & Luck is strictly a contemporary with just a hint of a possible romance-which is weird since I would have expected a romance from the title! And I really appreciate your mentioning the BookOutlet situation-I’m also not currently supporting them and there are plenty of other places to get books, like Better World Books which I’ll have to check out!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Def check out BWB! They have such a great mission!

[@dana7223]

In Order to Live was sooooo good!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

I've heard amazing things!

[@jamiecoutu]

Such a great assortment of books you have collected. I, too, have been buying more books than my shelves can hold. I'm not piling them on the floor yet, but that will happen soon. :) Thankfully a good number of my books acquired have been ebooks, which take up no physical space. Yay me, lol. I should have taken notes for some of the titles, but I will mention a couple. Love & Luck is YA contemporary. I have read Love & Gelato and really enjoyed it, surprisingly. I did not realize another book in the "series" was being written. I have not yet read Love & Luck, but I did just go put it on hold through my Overdrive app. So, thanks for the reminder!! I also recently acquired A Bridge Across the Ocean by Susan Meissner. I have not read any of her work, but this one interested me. I'll get to it at some point!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

I wish I liked ebooks. But there's just something about holding a physical book in my hands that I love too much.

[@jamiecoutu]

I prefer physical books too, but my Kindle has come in handy during the quarantine.

[@kellymurphy6445]

It looks like your got some great books! We have a little free library next door and it's had some really good books during the quarantine.

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

I think with all the libraries closed lots of people turned to their LFLs.

[@teresamedeiros7312]

Just made an order from better world books. Thank you for the recommendation! I like to try new book sellers

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Yay!!

Sorry for watching this a little late, I'm getting caught up on watching some Booktube videos today. Thank you for the info on Better Worlds Books, I'm going to go check them out now...I'm a frequent Thriftbooks shopper, so I''ll see what I can find at Better Worlds Books. I hope you enjoy your many books, but honestly, we can never have too many as long as we love to read them!! 😊❤

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Definitely check them out. Happy shopping!

[@Readitandeat]

Is buying books really a problem 🙂 Also so many people posted their hauls today (myself included)! It's been so much fun looking at all the books!!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Gonna go check yours out now!

[@josephlarson7725]

Oh my word! I've been watching your videos online for quite a while. The last time you mentioned Better World Books during one of your hauls, I planned to comment and tell you they were headquartered in Mishawaka, IN and that I frequently order books through them (and also LOVE their free shipping!), but I forgot to post the comment. When you mentioned BWB in this video I remembered I didn't post previously. Then you said you'd lived in South Bend and I literally screamed out loud! LOL Because I live in South Bend, hence why I'm equally familiar with Better World Books. :-)

[@josephlarson7725]

This posted with my husband's first name for some reason instead of mine. Debbie

[@josephlarson7725]

BTW- I recently finished 'The Sun Does Shine' by Anthony Ray Hinton. SOOOO Good!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

That's amazing! Yes! I'm originally from the South Bend area. I was first introduced to BWB bc I had friends that worked there. I just love their mission!

[@josephlarson7725]

Debbie, create a gmail account and then use that email to create a KZbin account. You will want to do this for chat purposes. Otherwise it’s always going to come up with my name when you chat, which is fun to do with livestream videos!

[@michelleneal2023]

Hey, Amanda. I love the thing about jellyfish. It was really good. It made me cry a little bit. Since watching your channel, you've opened me up to a whole new world with middle grade books. Thank you so much. Great video!!!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Yay! That means so much! I wish everyone could see the beauty and wisdom in middle grade books!

[@michelleneal2023]

I see it so clearly. I just ordered some middle grade books that you showed on your video. Have a great day!!!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I have to disagree. You don't have a problem. Books are amazing, keep buying. 😀

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Hahaha! I won't tell my husband you said that!

[@wendyhoward2699]

What a great haul. I don’t think we have any free little libraries here.

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

I would check their website!

[@RaineyDayReads]

So many books! That Warrior Cats series sounds so ridiculous and fun! Thanks for telling us about Better World Books! I’m going to check it out right now!

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

Yes! Please do!!! And yes Warriors us ridiculous, but apparently the kids love it!

[@NovelEnthusiast1]

Fun video! Caterpillar Summer sounds really good. The Thing About Jellyfish is amazing. I Will Always Write Back has really stuck with me.

[@MLLatUtube]

I loved The Bean Trees and the sequel. I kept pausing the video and going off to the Kindle store, so you have expanded my TBR quite a bit! I too keep buying books but I tell myself I will read them someday

[@amusicalbookworm]

Aw I love The Trumpet Swan!! I really want to reread Black Beauty, I used to like that one as a kid.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yay for getting used books! I loved little fires everywhere so I hope you will enjoy it a lot ^.^ A thousand splendid suns is a very emotional book so do be ready for it to hit you quite hard! I really loved the boston girl. I read it many years ago so I cannot quite remember everything but it was a really good one. I really do need to try something by Nic Stone soon. Call me sunflower has such a bright and beautiful cover. I liked small admissions when I read it but it has been a long time since I read it so I don't know how I would feel now ;.; I have heard good things about the call of the wind and want to read it too. Ooh, I really liked another book by Backman and should read more of his works. Daughter of Molokai looks GORGEOUS. And love and luck sounds lovely. I hope you will enjoy reading all of these

[@OnTheMiddleShelf]

I'm so excited for all of these!! Thanks for all the feedback. I love a good emotional read to pull out all my pushed down emotions.

[@Books4Lifechannel]

I love little free libraries 😍 my son loves the Little Critters books 🙂 Call Me Sunflower is such a cute cover! You got so many great books! Happy reading!
