LFL "Strike Out" in Dunedin, FL
Join me on the hunt for Little Free Libraries in Dunedin, FL. Hurricanes Helene and Milton took their toll here and claimed several of my favorite LFL's. Will I "strike out"? Or is there still an LFL lurking in this delightful Gulfside town?

I enjoyed this video!, it's very calming watching the water. I've been to Clearwater's Sugar Sand Sculpture festival before, which was really cool. Thanks for sharing!
@@Silversparkles yes! That is an amazing event! Should be coming up soon. Happy Thanksgiving
Great posting! Looks like neither of us is a book murderer! If you like The Giver, you should consider the other three books in this series: Gathering Blue, Messenger and Son. They encompass a breathtaking and beautiful arc.
@@susan3037 yes! I really want to read the whole quartet - I loved The Giver - a real gem!
I am so not a beach person, I am not a saltwater man at all, don't know what to do with all that saltwater & sand. I love these evocations of place, you are really developing astounding video creation & editing skills, I admire your willingness to try new things.
@@apoetreadstowrite thank you! I enjoy doing these "on location" videos.
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il: You do a marvellous job - brilliant!
Interesting evocation of place, & loved your exploration of the Scottish diaspora, I am from Clan Gordon - sad that the free library is no longer booming. Thanks for another engaging video.
@apoetreadstowrite Dunedin's Scottish ties are interesting. They are a Sister City to Sterling, Scotland. They have one of a very few school systems in the US that teaches bagpipes in pre-adolescent grades. Their high school band is a full Pipe Band complete with Celtic dancers, as well as the requisite number of pipes and drums. Either they or the city band (or both) usually make it to the World Pipe Band Championship in Scotland and have won several times through the years. The pier I showed at the beginning had bagpipes at sunset on Friday and Saturday nights during tourist season. They played "Amazing Grace" as the sun went down and it was absolutely beautiful. People LOVED it!
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il : oh, wow!
Happy Thanksgiving Reney! I’m thankful for having met you! Or, you know, taking turns seeing each other 😅
@@ellenmadebookclub me, too! Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks like a nice area and a nice B&B. Thanks for the tour. I know you said Raina doesn't like traveling in a car. Does she quickly settle in at a new place like the B&B?
@stuartgriffin1001 yes, which we're grateful for. But the car makes her nervous.
Happy Thanksgiving! Looks like you are enjoying your time in Florida.
It's been a lot of fun so far!
You found one! And I saw a Vince Flynn and a John Sandford in there - 2 of my favorites. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
I forgot about that one! It snuck up on me! I don't think it had those oranges painted on it. I think it was plain red. 🤔 Happy Thanksgiving!🥮☕️🥧🍗
Hope you are having fun! Beautiful and peaceful.
@Adventures_in_Literature It's definitely worth getting up early for!
Thanks for the tour of the beach. I love the views.
@@stuartgriffin1001 Best place in the world until the people show up. LOL!
I'm about to violate my own privacy and tell you my real name. First and last. It's Billy Seabass. For real. No cap. Straight bussing. But my friends call me Scott.
@someothercharacter Billy Seabass!?! Wasn't that the name of the singing fish from the 80's?
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il Distant cousin.
@someothercharacter AHHHH! Yes, now I see the resemblance .... 😄
A wonderful background! Very relaxing. Thanks for taking us along. I so love the booktube community. I try to keep up with watching and I tend to watch whenever I get a spare moment.
@helenclare3250 I'm so glad you watch my channel!
Gorgeous beach, especially in that morning light. I’m very glad you joined booktube! I have also thought about other kinds of channels, but I’m very happy I at least started with booktube. The community is such a positive space and full of good people! Thank you for taking us on a walk on the beach!!😊
@@ellenmadebookclub You're welcome! The other beach that I love is closed! It also has the dog beach, so Raina is bummed!
Love the beach. I’m in Arizona so don’t get to see water very often.
@@brigittewelch-d2w I like Arizona, too! But it is totally different as far as climate and landscape.
Very Nice Video
Do you want to grow your business with TH-cam marketing? If you're making videos for business, aren't your videos reaching the right audience? You need to know what they want first. I can help you if you want.🎉🎉🎉
What a beautiful beach! So peaceful early in the day! Thank you for the walking tour. I enjoyed your responses. I love that Criminolly was your first Booktube channel that you subscribed to. I found him pretty early on, too, but Angelia at Read and Re-Read was the first I found. I hope you’re having a great holiday week! 🥰
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Yes, I am! The weather is nice and there's lots to do!
@ that’s great! Enjoy!
This is so beautiful, Renay! It must have been hard for you to move away from this! My brother lived in western Florida for a while, but returned to Virginia in part because of the hurricanes. I can't quite get used to Gulf Coast beaches - a bit too calm. I'm more used to roaring Atlantic beaches with waves! I'm glad you made the decision to join Booktube! I'm not a creator yet, but would love to someday!
@purplepumpkin6894 thanks! Yes, I miss the beach⛱️ ! But on the positive side, I live about and hour and a half from Virginia Beach and not much further in the opposite direction from the Shanendoah Mountains - can't complain.
Loved the beach walk! I miss the beach. My 2-3 times a year visits to a beach are not enough.
@@KellyLovesBooksandMovies I do miss the beach! It was so worth getting up early to get out there and see it! Thanks for watching!
Reading for some R&R! 💓
Wow! Buc-ee’s really is a sight to behold! By now, I’m sure you’ve reached your destination. I hope it was a good road trip. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Donna and Raina!
@@BookChatWithPat8668 thanks! You too. It's been great, so far. Nice visiting family and friends.
@ wonderful!
I've never felt the need to stop at a Buc-ees. Thank you for reminding me why! LOL
@@DrCrankyPantsReads LOL! Great title for a video: "Stopping at Buc-ees so you don't have to ..."
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il THAT is EXACTLY what I was calling this video in my head!
You have some great books to read.Some of my favorites. Not some of the new ones, I don't know them either.
Loved hearing more about you and your thoughts on these books!
@@Maeve_Ever_Books thanks! Both were really great reads for me!
Thanks for taking this video. I loved seeing the Buc-es's. The service plazas in the northeast are impressive. But they have nothing on the one you showed in this video. The ones I stopped at had maybe 30-40 gas bays. The one you showed has over 100. The ones I stopped at had a small store. The one in your video has a store that looks like it rivals a Target I go to. The ones I went to have a few food places. The one you visited had lots of food choices. Very impressive. I will say that the crowding in the store would probably give me anxiety. I wish you safe travels
@@stuartgriffin1001 It's insane, really! I've been to this one twice and two in Texas (that are only about 75 miles away from each other?). They are always packed.
Don’t forget to do a pre-trip and post trip inspection on your vehicle..
I love that the little octopus got some screen time! ❤
@@ColleenYarosh Great co-host! I LOVE him!
Wow! Buc-ees is pretty busy!! Safe travels and enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving.❤️
@vickicoleman2474 that's the busiest I've ever seen that particular one. But they are a very popular stop and are often very busy even when you wouldn't expect it
I went to Buc-ee’s when I was visiting Tennessee a month ago. That place is huge.
@@JessBookgirlTV I wish I owned one !
Wow, I am at a loss of words for Buc ee! What fun , have a great time and safe travels. Thanks for filming.
@@reneewisch6798 "When readers run out of words .... you know you're at BUC-EES!" LOL!
Have fun! I have only been to Buccee's once... way too crowded for me but quite the experience.
@TheLibraryMouseGina Crazy, isn't it?
Hello, Friend I am a digital marketer, I am doing analytics on your youtube channel. Your videos are very nice, but your video views are very low. Because your TH-cam channel videos are not SEO properly. Organic views and subscriptions are more if you properly SEO your channel videos can achieve SEO the right way Doing so will help the TH-cam algorithm reach more viewers. If necessary, check out your competitors' TH-cam channels to see how they are garnering views and subscriptions. Because they know that without SEO TH-cam algorithm videos cannot reach the desired audience.😂😂😂
Awwww! Such a cute cohost 😍 Ah Steinbeck. I think we read the Pearl in high school. Those King books are such bricks! I’m not a romance fan, but I do love the title of that one! 😂 I would not guess it was romance with hate in the name. Safe travels!!
@@gingerbibliophile Raina is adorable! The romance is NOT working out for me, I'm afraid!
I am a complete sucker for Buc-ee's. I will drive out of the way to go to one on road trips. I don't even know why. The food is fine, but not great, though I do really like the Beaver Nuggets and I really like their brand of cajun seasoning so I stock up on that whenever I can. I hope you got the octopus glass!
@KellyLovesBooksandMovies LOL! Everyone loves Buc-ees! ❤️. I noticed a new one going up on I95, just North of Brunswick GA. Gotta check it out!
How fun! What's your favorite food item from Buc-ees? We have one here in the B'ham area, but I have not been. Enjoy your holiday!!
@bjminton2698 Brisket Sandwich 🥪 used to be brisket and egg burrito, but they don't make it anymore. I hear good things about the Beaver Bites (chicken?)
How fun! I’ve never been to Buc-ees, but if I’m ever near one, I’m going to go. I love road trips. Thank you for sharing yours.
@@BethKnight664 you're welcome! Buc-ees is a MUST!
Hope you have a safe trip and a fun time! Unfortunately Oklahoma doesn’t have a BUC-EE’S yet. They’re planing on building one soon though. My brother and I usually make a day trip down about once a year.
@Adventures_in_Literature they are really expanding. After I said that, I realized that both of the Buc-ees I visited last year were in TX. Later I noticed a new one going up in GA.
Thank you for the tour of that massive gas station. I will be sure to never visit one of them. The chaos that was going on while you were videoing raised my anxiety level by about two-fold. No thank you. Lol😂
@@FacelessBookReviews it's definitely recommended to pre-medicate for Buc-ees! The kid that was screaming by the hot food counter ...? Yikes! He owes me a new eardrum.
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il 😂 No kidding that kid was insane. Lol you are a brave woman.
If any viewers haven't visited a Buc-ee's, it's like Walmart had a baby with a truck stop. But with a great mascot and homemade fudge. Visit at least once if you pass one. Hope you had fun there. They're always a madhouse when we stop at one.
@someothercharacter perfect description! 🥰
Wow, that was a little chaotic 😂 But thanks for showing us around because I've never been to a Buc-ee's. Looks like they have something for everyone. Hope you, Donna, and Raina have a safe and fun trip! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🥧
@amyc1752 LOL! Chaotic is good word for it! They are always busy, but the weekend before Thanksgiving - on I95!?! Yikes!
Looks like a fun road trip ! Enjoy!😊
@@brigittewelch-d2w so far, so good! But lots of traffic
Oooooo, you are brave, Reney, to try to film in a Buc-ee's! I was wondering if you were at the one in Florence, SC and you say in your video you were. I've not yet been to a Buc--ee's but have friends and co-workers who have, including the one in Florence, SC. There are two Buc-ee's locations coming to Virginia soon...one in New Kent County, VA and the other in Rockingham County, near Harrisonburg, VA, which is near my neck of the woods. The Harrisonburg, VA (really Mt. Crawford, VA) Buc-ee's is scheduled to open sometime in 2025. I have mixed feelings about this...I'm excited but I also don't want the Buc-ee's to ruin Mt. Crawford's historic and sleepy small town vibe. The Harrisonburg/Mt. Crawford Buc-ee's will be near the Green Valley Book Fair, which is a book destination for people from several states to come and purchase books for cheap. So if you visit the Green Valley Book Fair and the Harrisonburg/Mt. Crawford, VA Buc-ees's, you'll be able to combine books with Buc-ee's! I plan to do that! 😀 I hope you, Donna,, and Raina have a safe trip and a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦃
@purplepumpkin6894 yes, Virginia has Buc-ees now, too! I've heard good things about that book fair! Take care!
Y'all have a safe trip. And have fun! Now I will watch the video . Take care -James & Bella
Happy anniversary Renee and Raina! I love your channel and your videos are awesome! Keep on doing your thing!💖💖
@@phenrichsen1 thank you!
That's amazing you found such a great copy of Beartown for only $1! What a find! I really liked your insight about the name Beartown and the town being somewhat of a trap. I hadn't thought of it that way, but it makes sense. Benji is my favorite character for sure. And I really liked Leo. That's so neat you got to meet Shelby Van Pelt at the author talk event! I enjoyed RBC more than I expected to honestly. It was a sweet story with some great themes.
I was very lucky to get my hands on that copy! We have two good thrift stores nearby that are generally great for books! The Van Pelt author event was virtual, but still really fun! She seems like a really neat, upbeat kind of person. I loved hearing her talk about RBC and Marcellus. I also enjoyed it more than I thought i would - it seems like it might be "gimick-y", but it doesn't come off that way at all! Just a nice story that needed to be written.
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il That's fun, even if virtual! I always think it's so neat to hear authors talk about their books, their characters, and their writing process. I was also nervous about it feeling gimicky. I was pleasantly surprised!
Congratulations to the winner. Thanks for doing this contest
