These are all the books I bought this summer while on the road! This is the problem with being a traveling librarian - it's nearly impossible to stop yourself from making "just a few" important purchases. And this does not begin to cover the audio and ebook purchases I made, and all the books I checked out from Boston Public Library using Overdrive!
Some of these are neat souvenirs: "Fire Season" looks especially cool now that I've been in a fire lookout, "Uncommon Carriers" is not only interesting but provided good entertainment when I was all alone in a campground one weekend. "Visible Bones" and "Building the Charles River Highway" cover areas I visited. "A Study in Silks" was a thank-you purchase, to a Barnes and Noble for letting me hang around a couple of hours while it was 100+ degrees outside and I was sleeping in a tent. The Childcraft books were at the Pomeroy library's used book sale. I adore these books, and the librarian cheerfully offered to find more for me - but these were heavy and space-taking enough for the back of the Jeep! Several, including "Traveling Route 66" and "Stephen Fry in America," were purchased in a happy shopping trip at Powell's in Portland.
So, looking at the books - and memories with them - I've collected this summer, I'd definitely rate it a success!
