I Borrow a Book From My Library Every Month For a Year… 📚
Рет қаралды 16,161
Күн бұрынIn this video, I begin my challenge of checking out a book from my local library every month this year. The first episode covers January to April, where I use some fun prompts to decide which book I will be borrowing from the library.

So try to find SOMETHING to check out keep for a bit and return, and request specific titles you want, because as they can report an increase in those numbers they can get more funding for more new books and resources!❤

When I started the video I thought all the prompts would be centered around being at the library like: a book with a library setting, same aisle of your last read, same shelf as a 5 star, on display at the library, you saw someone return or still needs to be reshelved, librarian's current read, librarian's recommendation, cover color matches the librarian, on the bottom shelf, on the top shelf, book on the cover, number generator aisle. I do really love this challenge!❤

I work at a library. With our library, you can sign into their website with your library card, search the catalogue, and put a hold on an item. I have at least 10 holds going at one time lol You can also pause the hold and pick the date you'd like to read it (or roundabout). Our library even has brand-new DVDs. Also, if the library doesn't have a book you can ask them for it. They may purchase it or may be able to borrow it from another library system as an inter-library loan. I love this video! Can't wait to see the next one.

Also, oh Gavin.. if you like manga, and cozy vibes, and kitchen/baking things, Witch Hat Atlier has a kitchen spinoff. I know you're going to read WHA at one point, but definitely include those. And if you haven't checked it out from the 90's, I'd highly recommend watching Simply Irresistable with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Patrick Flannery. It's got cozy vibes and a witchy love story that's adorable.

I love my local library, I would even call myself a superfan. I go once a week to pick up holds (I have a constant cycle of holds coming in so I never run out of things to read) or drop off returns that I’ve finished (or that the library is clamouring to have back - my middle name might be Florence). If I could read faster I’d be there more often, but there are so many hobbies and so little time. I think making this into a trilogy of videos is much better than storing all the footage for a year and running the risk of losing some of it. I look forward to the next episode.

Love the setup! As nice as being able to access popular books is, I think this type of challenge is a great avenue to expose less popular authors or unfamiliar authors for a reader in between holds for specific books. I'm curious what you would pickup for graphic novels, I've found some awesome stand alones browsing my library because they looked pretty (love manga, but I haven't seen videos on your channel for other comics). *Darkly She Followed* was a really pretty and unexpected read as an example. *Monstress* is gorgeous but also Eldritch body horror. My library has a section for more mature graphic novels separate from all the manga so we found them by accident in a back corner and they had the full special release version of *The Crow*.

I look forward to see what you find! I already visit my library on a regular basis. I borrow most of the books a I read, and sometimes I find some at a local thrift store. Instead iof buying and then unhauling books I don't like, I borrow books and if I love them and feel I want them as a part of my library - then I order them. 😂 It might be the opposite of what most people do, but I have 2 main reasons; 1. I don't have that much money to spend on books, 2. We don't have that much space for books in our apartment so I have to be picky. But my life would probably look different if I had worked at a bookstore like you once did, half of that bookstore would probabaly be in my home. I would def make use of the staff discount.

So glad you loved Before I Let Go! The next book isn’t a sequel in the traditional sense, but it’s kind of like the Brown Sisters (I think you’ve read those? At least book one). Book two, This Could Be Us, follows Soledad, who ends up going through a messy divorce (“messy” is an understatement, really, but I won’t get into spoilers). On her healing journey, she ends up bonding with a man who is the father of autistic twin boys.

I love this idea!!! I’ve been trying to utilize my library more and this is a great way to do it - I may tie it to Kayla’s Buzz Word Reading Challenge. Also, Florence better get a grip. 📚

I've seen the anime of that manga a long long time ago and loved it. Ever since, I've always wanted to pick-up from where the anime stopped but at the time the translation wasn't easy to find. I'm glad it is now, so I'm probably just gonna read the whole thing 😅

I love C.J. Cooke! The Ghost Woods is a gothic horror, it was pretty creepy. My favourite of hers so far is The Lighthouse Witches 😍

I grew up with a terrible library and as an adult, the local library is a contender for whether or not I will move to an area. Resources you may not think about with your library (because frankly, I didn't until I had a good one): ask about an electronic library source (Libby, OverDrive, etc.) ask if you can access other library catalogs through interlibrary loans ask if you can recommend books to purchase find out if they have other types of media (CDs, audiobooks on CD, DVDs, streaming movies, etc.) Some libraries have their ebooks available from the website, but your library may not allow you to check them out through their application. If you are having trouble getting a library book, see if they have it in another format you'd be willing to consume. For example, there are 63 people waiting for an ebook and 57 people waiting for an eaudiobook copy of Bride by Ali Hazelwood. There are three people waiting for it in a physical copy and the large print edition was on the shelf.
