One of my #2025readinggoals is to reduce the number of physical books I buy until I clear off my TBR shelf—but I’ve made exceptions fir thrifted or used physical copies of books I love and banned books for my collection.

Naturally, I couldn’t pass up these thrift store finds:

📚 Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly — One of my favorite books and movies. Thrilled to have this on my shelf.
📚 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain — A banned book, so of course it came home with me.
📚 The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer — Slowly but surely completing my Twilight collection.
📚 Mala’s Cat by Mala Kacenberg — This was my one exception to the ban since I haven’t read it yet. It’s on the cat-themed TBR shelf I built for myself on StoryGraph, and for 99 cents, I couldn’t resist grabbing it!

I was at the thrift store with my sister, about to check out with my books, when she spotted a shelf full of creepy dolls—so of course, we had to investigate. At the bottom of the pile was a Madame Alexander Jo from Little Women. My sister and I share a weakness for leaving any Madame Alexander dolls behind—it just makes us sad. But I’ve been wanting to collect the these dolls for my themed Little Women bookshelf, so I had to grab her. Even though her face is a little bleached and she’s not in the best shape, I’m thrilled to add her to my Little Women bookshelf. Tortellini and Azlan are oddly fascinated by her too!

Today in Labor History November 29, 1832: Louisa May Alcott, author, nurse, feminist and abolitionist, was born. Her writing was influenced by the transcendentalists, like Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne and Longfellow, whom she knew personally. While she was most famous for her book, “Little Women,” she also wrote “Work,” an autobiographical novel that exposed the exploitation of women workers. Poverty forced her to work at a young age as a teacher, seamstress, governess and domestic. During the Civil War, she worked as a nurse and developed typhoid fever. The medicine she took contained mercury, which may have contributed to the autoimmune disorders that plagued her for the rest of her life and that ultimately killed her. She is buried on Author’s Ridge, at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, in Concord, near Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne.

Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well."
