Hey, followers, just to let you know I try to check the LFL every Monday to check for new books and if more books need to be added. Usually around lunch time. There is a new Estelle Ryan there this week. Thanks for your support!

Today I went to check my Little Free Library. As usual, things had been moved around, some books were gone, new books were added. But there was something done that shows, in my mind, a certain level of kindness one does not see every day. The door of the LFL is kept closed with a hook and an elastic hair tie. This was my emergency fix during a very windy rain storm. Since the first hair tie a couple years ago, I have replaced it several times. Except recently there was an old tie which was hanging loosely from the handle and a newer one that was stretched to point of uselessness. Today, when I opened the door, both old ties had been removed and a lovely, new, elastic hair tie was holding the door closed. Thank you, neighbor, for (what must have been) your forethought and kindness to replace the hair tie! And, thanks for the books! I will process them and get them back out for others to enjoy.

This book becomes part of the SGLFL family today. Here is my review.

3/5: The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream was written in 2006 before Barack Obama ran for President; he was a sitting Senator of Illinois. This book has been on my "currently reading" list since April of 2024; I'm not sure why it took me so long to settle down and finish i...

I bought this book in September and read it in October of 2024. I then found a used copy from my LFL in my bedside TBR pile! In researching this info, I found I had not written a review. Here it is now, and this newly discovered copy will now return to the Shady Grove Little Free Library #76434 Clinton, Utah, USA.

4/5: The Personal Librarian is the fictionalized account of Belle da Costa Greene, the curator and personal librarian to J.P. Morgan. She was in charge of his vast collection of works that eventually became the Pierpont Morgan Library in NYC. A fair-skinned Black woman, Belle is "passing," a necessi...

New addition to SGLFL. Here's my review.

5/5: The Biscuit: The History of a Very British Indulgence is a delightful book on the history of what Americans would call the cookie but in Britain is the Biscuit. From sailors hard-tack (insert Max Miller clicking two together) to the modern day Bourbon, we find out how and why this tasty little....

Putting "Buttons and Bones" back into the LFL. Here's my review.

3/5: I like this series of books featuring Betsy and her buddies from the needlecraft shop and how they solve mysteries. I don't usually figure it out less than half way through, though. I mean, I kept waiting for there to be something I missed and it turned out to be different, but, no. I was right...
