I got this book last year either at a flea market or a second hand shop. Isn't it beautiful? How does it not have wrinkles on the spine? It's from 1993! It smells of old book, the pages are yellowed with age and there are small tears and folds here and there on the cover and yet it looks unread. Anyway this is next on my TBR after I finished Rosebud yesterday. #bookfed #PhilipKDick #bladerunner #DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep #cyberpunk #scifi #norskpix #usedbooks #fleamarketfinds #thrifting #secondhand #bookhaul

I intended to spend the day at home today, but I just couldn't shake off how groggy I felt even after breakfast and being awake for a few hours. So I decided to go get lunch outside and have a small adventure...where I promptly ended up at a quaint little secondhand bookstore.

Most of the items were in clear bins that were laid out on the ground in front of the shop so it was a bit hard for me with my crummy knees and currently crummy neck, but the owner was incredibly kind and I ended up finding a few books I wanted to buy. I always try to buy something when I go to an independently owned shop, so I'm really happy I managed to find some things. I only paid 650 yen too--brand new these books would have been closer to 3,000 yen these days!

Today we visited what has become my favorite used book shop - Robert's in Lincoln City, Oregon - and I love used book shops. This place is a quirky maze with a massive selection so it's always the first place I want to stop in when we visit.

Lacking in plans for Saturday? Like thrifting? How about used books? Strawberries?

Adelphi Friends Meeting in Maryland is resuming its annual Strawberry Festival!

As usual, there'll be a giant rummage sale, used books, used clothes, jewelry, kids' games, train ride for kids, food, desserts, plant sale, bake sale… and locally-grown strawberries
