Library Haul + Thrifting

We recently took our monthly trip to the library so I wanted to share what Luna and I are reading these days. Also, here's another library tip, when all the popular books are unavailable in regular print, always check the large print section.   

I am currently reading All The Light We Cannot See along with everyone else who is raving about this book. As you may be able tell by the cover, it is in large print--score! 

At Home in The Whole Food Kitchen is a beautiful vegetarian cookbook, and I cannot wait to give some recipes a try like this roasted fig and raspberry tart with toasted almond crust. 

I watched the Being Mortal documentary, and when the book came out I knew I wanted to read it. I also found this one in the large print new releases section of the library.

I am a big fan of Judy Blume, and  therefore, In the Unlikely Event has been on my hold requests for months. I really hope Judy doesn't disappoint me! Lastly, Astonish Me which was recently in my Friday Favorites because I have been dying to read this one.  I can't help it I love ballerinas!

For Luna's library books, I place a ton of books on hold because I know some will be a hit or a miss. Since I checked out a gazillion books for her, I am only highlighting the books she instantly took a liking to. 

Don't let the Pigeon Stay Up Late (she likes all the Pigeon books because they're funny), Count with Maisy,  Polar Bear's Underwear, Bear and Duck and Flora and the Flamingo.

Another great place to find books are thrift stores. I currently purchased some seasonal books for 49 cents each!

My best finds at the thrift store were the Nancy Drew books, an Eileen Fisher skirt for $2 bucks (Nordstrom has them for over $100) and the marble canister. Marble is everywhere right now so I was super excited to find a high quality marble piece for $7 bucks. 

My search for books lead me to some great finds, and I am so excited to keep searching for Nancy Drew books for Luna's collection. 

Library Haul + Current Reads

As you all know by now, we are a family of readers.  I recently picked up our library holds and we went to the bookstore, and I thought I would share. If you are looking for some book suggestions, I highly recommend any of the books listed below. 

Luna's stack was the largest, and here are the books I chose for her: While Mama had a Quick Little Chat, Part-Time Princess, Hoot Owl, Please, Mr. Panda, Hooray for Hat, And Away we Go!, I love you, Stinky Face, I Spy with My Little Eye, and Tippy-Tippy-Tippy, Hide.  Her favorites are Hooray for Hat, I Spy with My Little Eye and While Mama had a Quick Little Chat. 

Luna loves to do yoga with me so I checked out Itsy Bitsy Yoga and the Little Yoga. Her definite favorite is the Little Yoga book which she has been carrying around since I came home with it, and its worth the purchase. 

Now onto my current reads.  I read How to be Parisian which has great tips for us francophiles and woman in general. I also checked out One Step Too Far, The Pocket Wife and Love is Red. I am carrying this little French book in my purse, Loretta et la petite Fée, and my current serious read is Wherever You Go There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn. 

Lastly, I also wanted to share what my husband is currently reading. He is listening to and reading Linchpin, and I believe he is also listening to The Success Principles both of which I plan to read when he is done. 

If you have any good book suggestions for us to add to our next library haul or bookstore trip, please let me know. I would also love to hear what you all are currently reading.
