- I had a couple of really good trips to the thrift stores in May & June and these are all of the books I got! 😁 I just goes to show that you have to keep going pretty often, so that you don't miss out when someone has just donated a bunch of good books... yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it shows!
Come hang out with me in my garden for a bit, get a coffee or a tea (without bugs if you prefer...) and let's chat about some books!
I hope you're having a fantastic day, and if not that it gets better. I'm very happy to have you here.

What an incredible book haul! Lots of great stuff-including Salinger! 😉
Haha thanks! I’m quite pleased! 😊
Thrifting books is one of my favorite things. I try to focus on books that I have on my wishlist or authors that I have been wanting to try, but I always end up picking up books because they look and sound interesting.
Exactly like that! It’s very hard to find the ones I want most in English where I live, but I do my best! And sometimes translated will have to do! 😊 Digging for treasure is so much fun!
Free protein for your coffee 😂 Ohhh I want to visit my local thrift store for these -- especially 1984! I feel like that'll be a good book to annotate; I have it on my Kindle from HS but... I think it'd be way better as a physical read 🥰 TIL Quartet is a series of 4 books 🤣 Learn something new from your channel every time! The Hate U Give is also a book that's been on my TBR. You've got a lot great books!! The one book I'm hoping to grab from Fredik Backman is Anxious People... I think I'm going to stop by the bookstore and see what I can grab tomorrow... 😂
Haha true 😂 I’m always looking for natural ingredients! And I’m glad I made want to thrift haha! So much fun! You can probably get so much more than I can find here too, I’m sure you’ll find both 1984 and Anxious people (I want to read that too). Haha yes I’ve never heard that used with books either, but it has to be four! 😊
You got such a wide range of really interesting books! My local shops are nowhere near as good. Somebody donating all the books you want to read just before you enter the store sounds like the premise of a romcom. 149 Krona seems like a lot for a book (in the UK), so that's a real bargain for 1984, though it's emotional impact might exact a higher price. I hope you enjoy the two Fredrik Backman books - Beartown gets quite emotional, has some amazing characters and he has the ability to make you see all sides of a situation. I hope you enjoy all these and look forward to hearing what you think.
Haha it does sound like a premise for a romcom! 😄 That's cute! Yes, 149 kr is more than for a regular paperback, but the ones in English are always more expensive. Many of the new ones cost around 200 kr, so that's no fun! Even more fun though to find them second hand!
Thank you! I look forward to them too! 😊
"The Hate You Give" has been on my radar for some time now. It's a banned book here in some parts of the US. "Franny and Zoey" - I read about 50 years ago (can it be that long!?) in high school. I remember nothing about it, but I think I did enjoy it. LOL! Peter May is a good author - I read one of his novels - "Lockdown" during well, ....you know. You are so right about North Korea! That book sounds good! I have "Beartown" - haven't read it! What a great haul! WOW! Such beautiful condition, too! I LOVE when that happens!
I bet it is! Just makes us want to read it more 😊 Haha no that sounds way too long! I’m glad you enjoyed it though, I’m looking forward to it! And good to hear Peter May is good, I’ve never read anything by him. Is it scary or do you think I can handle it? ^^ Knowing that I skipped ahead when you started making squeaking sounds in your video 😂
Yes I was so happy with this haul! Most of them are barely touched, if read at all. Such a bargain! Let’s do Beartown in the fall!
Great haul! I totally feel your pain with the end. I like the idea of filming outside, but it is never as easy as it sounds!
Haha definitely not! And then I cut out the parts when the neighbors were neighboring 😂
You scored a lot of good books at the thrift stores! One Little Lie sounds really good. I'll be looking forward to hearing your review.. even if I have to wait til winter. :)
I know! I'm thrilled! Yes, I think that one sounds like a good time, I'm very intrigued. Probably perfect for some poolside reading ;D Hopefully I'll get to reading it while it's still sunny!
"Sometimes, you just need to buy a book" PREACH 😂 What a good haul you got! I'm on a book-buying ban this month, so I'm getting a book-buying kick by proxy through this video ^^ happy reading!
Haha happy to be of service and spend my money instead of yours! My treat! 😁💜
I’m laughing about the bug and the mug- my first thought was “this is why I don’t go outside”… And the helicopter bug/dragonfly- you’re so funny and cute!! 😂 Anyway haha, great haul, thrifting is just the best and I love that you found so many you were wanting to read! Yay for finding The Hate U Give, 1984, the Backman books, and the Khaled Hosseini books! Can’t wait to hear what you think about them! 😍
Haha it’s so typical! Just when everything else is finally setup 😂 And I could not think of the word haha i know they’re called dragonflies but I couldn’t even think of the Swedish word, let alone that. (We don’t call the helicopter bugs 😂)
Thank you 🥰 I was so pleased haha so many great finds! And almost all look like they’ve never been touched! 😁 Thank you for being here as always 💜
@@ellenmadebookclub exactly! Bugs and nature are always conspiring against us… I get that, I regularly forget words in English and I have no excuse, hahaha. So so fun, I love a good treasure hunt and finding exciting books! Makes me want to go thrifting but I do not need to acquire any more books 😂 You’re so welcome ❤️
@@LibrariesandLattes Who said anything about need? 😂
@@ellenmadebookclub very true 😆
Herra Valde sounds interesting! And I'm happy you found Beartown and Us Against You! You found so many great books!
I did! I'm so happy with this haul, especially the Backman books! It's about time I read them. 😊
Herravälde is actually just one word, but I love that you're trying ^^ It translates to "dominion", so it has that double association to dominate and domestic. Like "Herr" in German, it's the same in Swedish, like Mr. But it sounds a lot more formal or old fashioned, as we don't use those kind of words anymore, in most cases we just go straight to first names. Anyway, I think it will be really good.
Thank you for being here, I hope you're having a good summer so far! 😊💜
@@ellenmadebookclub I hope you enjoy them!! Ooh that makes so much sense! I appreciate you explaining it to me! ❤
@@BonnieNicoleWrites I hope I didn’t sound too condescending, I meant it genuinely! I hope you know that anyway, but just to be clear! 😊❤️
@@ellenmadebookclub Oh not at all!! I love learning more about languages and I especially appreciate a kind correction when I make a mistake. :)
@@BonnieNicoleWrites Ok good! 😊 I mean it’s not really a mistake, I wouldn’t expect you to know Swedish!
I have the following on my shelves, unread. I would be up for buddy reading:
White Teeth by Zadie Smith
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Beartown by Fredrik Backman
Dear Life by Alice Munro
💜
Oh great! That would be lovely 🥰 I think I’ve got my plate full for the summer, but definitely toward the fall! Any that you’re more keen to get to than the others? I want to read kite runner before splendid suns, but the other ones I’m good with 😊
💜
I would be willing to come along with "Beartown" - I have it and would love to get to it! Maybe at the start of hockey season? LOL!
@@ellenmadebookclub I would also like to read the kite runner before 1000🌞. I think Beartown would be great for fall/winter.
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il yay! Yes, agree that Beartown would be a great read during hockey season 💙
@@books_and_bocadillos How about October? 😊
