The library sale is on Thursday. Anything you want me to look for for you?
Re: *Liz/Cole/any of the other readers
You are my own personal library coke mule.
I can't really think of anything. I'm really interesting in Miss Peregrine's School for Unusual Children (or whatever it's called), but honestly, I haven't even gotten through the other books you got me and the books I got at the huge 10 for $10 sale because of working so much. Shame on me.
Unless you run across that book, don't worry about me. But thanks so much for asking! I'll hit you up later!
Along these lines, my local mall bookstore (it's a surplus store so it just gets books that other stores doesn't sell) is having another 10 for $10 sale, so if there's anything you might want me to keep an eye out for, or if there are any random topics you might like me to look for, let me know, too!

I'm dying for a copy of Divergent, but I doubt you will have any luck with that! LOL
I do need a hard cover HP - Sorcerer's Stone. Once again, a rarity at book sales, but you never know.
I'm really into children's classics, even in poor condition. Picture book, early reader, chapter, anything. If you see something that you loved when you were little, I would love to have it. Trying to build up for my future kids, plus I think kids book make awesome displays.
Have I told you you're the best? xoxo
You're going to be a great mom.
I don't think I could organize by color, because I can see several series right now that would be broken up because of color. That wouldn't fly at all.
Was anyone else enrolled in monthly book club when they were little? I would get 2 scholastic books a month (Amelia Bedelia, Morris the Moose, etc.) and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I hope I can find something like that for my kids. Or make it a point to buy them a book or 2 at least once a month. I hope I can make reading a fun but important emphasis for my kiddos.
I know, when we brought home the scholastic orders from school, my mom would ALWAYS let us get at least one book, no matter how tight money was that month. We had a huge reading collection at home, went to the library, etc. and it's something I'm thankful for all the time. Tons of my childhood memories involve reading.
Ok, I've got them all on my list. I'm really excited for tomorrow.
We had a ton of kids books growing up - my Mom still has them all. She keeps wanting to donate them somewhere but my sister and I can't part with them.

My mom kept all ours. Her motto for every toy and book is 'Grandkids might need them some day!'
My mom still has all my childhood books, too. Every time I ask for them, she tells me they are for her own collection for grandkids. psh.
I just found out Tomie dePaola is doing a signing here in November.

SO JEALOUS
I couldn't find this one. I feel like I'm failing my coke mule title.

Not at all, Kate My Kate. I appreciate you looking!
I wanna know what you got! Share with the class!
She found me an ARC of Divergent! And a bunch of children's books: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Finders Keepers for Franklin, Crocodile Beat, The New Baby by Mercer Mayer, Giggle Giggle Quack, Frederick, The Biggest Pumpkin Ever, Trouble with Trolls, Love You Forever, There Once Was a Man Named Michael Finnegan and A Story a Day 'Til Christmas
And a surprise apparently, because as well know Kate is baller.
