Just requested the audiobook from my public library ❤️🎧📚

A Tardis Little Free Library.

The book Never Let A Unicorn Scribble.

The book The Little Train by Lois Lenski.

Something that brought me joy this week, the books my neighbors put in my Little Free Library. ❤️📚❤️

It was a lot to take in.

Last month's books, rabbits for luck, and finishing the 9 Pin Cider 26er Challenge! Woot!

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️
