Crazy Book Lady and The Free Book Stand

08/04/2023

Well, folks, it is with great sadness that I let you all know, the Book Lady has to pull out of both First Friday tonight and the back to school event at the train depot tomorrow.

Long story short, I strained my back and there's no way I can unload and reload all my beautiful crates and boxes of books.

Never fear, though! I'll be back at Liz Arndt Photography for First Friday in September!!

After doing several "off the beaten path" events with the stand last year (including a metal core show 🤣) I adopted the phrase "Free Books are Chaotic Good." For those of you wondering where that phrase originates, it comes from the types of characters in Dungeons and Dragons. I'm not a huge player myself, but I know a thing or two about it and the definition of what it means to be "Chaotic Good" really resonates with me.

Come out Friday night to Liz Arndt Photography from 5-8 for your dose of Chaotic Good. Get some free books, walk around to see some art, grab some dinner downtown. It'll be a great night!!

Tomorrow night! Come out for a fun evening Downtown.

It may be a hot evening but there are cool things to be seen and heard at these participating venues.

Another successful half-off Wednesday! I've had lots of book donations and shopping excursions with donation money to stock the stand back up again since getting pretty well cleaned out at Pride. Come to Liz Arndt Photography this Friday from 5-8 to see what I've got! 🤓📚💖

Friday will be here before you know it and I've got even more new books to offer! Lots of middle grade novels, some new YA, a lovely selection of children's books, and really great picks for adults as well including BRAND NEW COOKBOOKS 💖

Teen Book Club is TONIGHT at the Lebanon Community Library. (If you left your information with me at Pride to get a copy of the book, I didn't forget you...the additional copies still haven't come in 😭)

If you DID get a copy but haven't finished reading, don't let that stop you. Come out for book club anyway! Your impressions of what you've read so far are valuable to the group.

Parents are welcome to attend with their teens. Teacher Drew Gingrich is the group facilitator and I'll be along for the fun as well. See you there!!

Sometimes, when I have donation money to purchase new books for the stand, I buy based on what I know is popular.

Sometimes, I buy books with my heart. 🤣🤣🤣
