I liked the artwork on the side of that green LFL, the place with the dog. I completely understand why you didn't stay long at that one, Mikala. I would have bailed, too. It's a shame though because there were so many books there. Maybe there was a lot of books there because that dog keeps on scaring people away! Thank you for showing us the park and the Detroit River. What a beautiful place! I'm glad you found some treasures to take home from the LFLs, but I'm not gonna lie. I'm kind of traumatized by seeing "The Boy in the Suitcase." 😳
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and noticed the little details like the artwork on the LFLs! YES okay that's a great point about the loud dog scaring people away! I agree as well about "The Boy in the Suitcase," definitely a PASS for me! Thank you for watching!
That's so interesting that Little free libraries are not prevalent where you live! I wonder if the LFL brand or company can start making it's way across more than just the US because they can be so fun and a great way to recycle books!
@@mikalareads for sure! I looked at buying a LFL to set up in my area but there’s all sorts of rules and permissions to get etc. So I am going to wait (as I am moving house in the next couple of years) and then will set one up on the edge of my property for all to use.
I absolutely LOVE this that you plan yo make your own in the future!!! I have always wanted to build my own too! I love the idea as well to be able to decorate one and paint it!! 🎨📚🙌💯
I actually had somehow not heard of Kill for Me Kill for you yet at the time, but I read it right after I brought it home from the LFL and really enjoyed it!!
AWW I wish you had some more near you as well!!!! I feel like some neighborhoods will have just a TON of them and then some won't have any for miles!! Like in my neighborhood we don't have any within walking distance but it's my goal to build my own at some point!
wow that one h ad a ton vc andrews. filming free little libraries really is not easy. cool seeing the river and Canada on the other side! I'm also very close to the border, only on the west coast.
YESsss it looked to me liek someone must have unhauled there entire collection of VC Andrew into that LFL! YESSS it really is not easy at all to film!!! 😣😅 Thats so cool you are near the border too but on the West! I love living so near all these different places to travel, like Canada is just a hours drive away at all times haha!!
So many cute libraries and so many nice quality books! Sadly, our two FLL have so many damaged books that people just can't bear to throw away. I would have grabbed all those VC Andrews!! 😂
YESSS I knew someone would have struck gold with those VC Andrews books! I was SO tempted to take some of them but I was really trying to limit bringing in more unreads to my shelves! Also I have seen similarly with a lot of the little libraries where theres many old or damaged books! I love that they are free but sometimes it is hard to find books I find myself interested in in them!
@@mikalareads yes, once I'm through with this challenge, I may try mine again. One's in a church parking lot, another at an elementary school, so not too fun of a selection 😂
Woah these are some excellent finds!! Those VC Andrews books are all in pretty good shape for how old some of those editions are! That Longarm Western books I wish I had that cover tattooed on me 😂 I'm going to be an auntie for the first time, and I can't WAIT to take my lil nephew to the libraries like these, because the children's books are awesome!
YES all the finds were just so good on this trip, and those VC Andrews books had me really tempted hahah! OMG congratulations on soon becoming an aunt and also it will be SO fun to take your nephew to visit different LFL!!! I always find so many cool looking kids books in them!!!
You might also try your local Senior Center as ours has a free library inside. I leave the junk journals I make at the LFL - we have a bunch in our town, too -and the Senior Center. Many obscure books can be found at those places.
Ohh That is a FANTASTIC recommendation thank you for letting me know!!! Also that sounds so cool that you will also leave junk journals at LFL! I think I would just be SO excited if I found someone's junk journal, like a little treasure!!!
I put the witch book on my mantel on a display stand and I just love it! AHH I am so sorry about the snow until May!!! I can relate somewhat because our winters here in the northern US can last what seems half the year at times! It always feels neverending!! 😅❄☃🥶🧊
It annoys me that you were complaining about books falling out on you or being disorganized but you keep putting books on top of each other or just randomly placing them when some of the little libraries are organized and have space for you to put them side by side but you chose to just put it however in there. That's how the little libraries get disorganized and messy
VC Andrews: the Petals on the Wind keyhole, foldout cover used to scare me to death when I was a child. 😂 Years later, my girlfriend had Flowers in the Attic on her shelf, so I read the entire Dollanganger series and loved it. We were stoked when Lifetime started making the movies.
That is TOTALLY understandable that keyhole cover for the Petals on the Wind is creepy!!!! I will have to one day read the Dollanganger series! I was really tempted to pick up these VC Andrews books this time but I was being very strict with myself because I am trying to read all my unread books this year! But in the future I will definitely have to read some VC Andrews!!
I looked up the little free library website for those near me, but I don't think the site was updated with all of them. 😢 I know where two are. One I found by chance, and the other actually does show up on the map. I would love for our neighborhood to set one up. 2:35 - You like old book smell too??? 😂 9:05 - I would love to live around this little free library. Haha. If I knew who was putting the ARCs in there, I'd be watching them like a hawk. Some of these LFLs had some amazing picks! Glad you were able to find something to take!
Ohh Yesss I wonder who updates the map with the new libraries!!! I also wonder if sometimes people may just build their own but not register them, for that reason then I wonder how many more there could be out there near me I just dont know of! I really wish I had one in my neighborhood too!!! We don't have any within walking distance but I want to make one at our house asap!!! I would be such a good steward and keep it well stocked! 😅🙌📚 YESSS to the smell of old books hahah!!! ALSO yessss I need to make friends with whoever is the one getting access to all those arcs!!! 😅💯👏
I love them too!!! Theres one really close to us at a park and I ALWAYS have to check it out when we go there! You just never know what you can find! 💯💌🙌
YES oh my gosh that's so cool you recognize them!!! The goodwill we went to at the end was the Woodhaven location! Wyandotte was so beautiful I can't wait to go back! The waterfront was amazing!
Yessss, it's so fun to see what you can find! And that's the biggest thing for me is finding the time to venture out to them, especially when they can be quite spread out from one another!
The problem with this kind of video is that I see all these books I want and I can't drive across country to get them. 😊I actually don't know what state your in but still.
If you're on the LFL App, there's a way to report a no-longer-there LFL, as well as an LFL that's needs to be repaired. I've never seen just a post like that. Very weird and sad.
I have never really watched Seinfeld to be honest! I just thought it was wild to find a whole show dvd set in a LFL!!!! I think its such a cool find though for fans!!
YES I need toooo, the last few times I did this he was my camera man but this time I let him stay in the car...it made me REALLY appreciate having his help the last time hahah!!!😅🙏🥰
OHHH That is SUCH a good point I hadnt even thought of! And SAME, I have all but given up on entering GR giveaways because I never win, Now I know someone over in this neighborhood is scoring them all hahha!
HAHAH I KNOW I was so strict on myself!!! I am currently working this year on reading ALL of my unread books on my shelf so this challenge is definitely keeping me accountable 😅🙌🤣
Yayfor new little free libraries adventure vlog 👻🧛💀🪦🦇📚☕
thats so rare for a Littke free library to have recent books
RIGHT?!!! I feel like I usually find mostly books that Ive never really heard of! 😅
Ya I only saw one or two that had ne😊w books. From what I remember
I love these videos of you exploring little free libraries!
Thank you so much!!! I truly love watching these kinds of videos so much! I will definitely have to make more of these!
Definitely enjoy this mini vlog! Those two books you found on the first library look pretty cool 📚☕️😊
Thank you so much!!! Yesss I was so tempted to pick up more books from this trip haha!!! 📚🙏💌💖

@@mikalareads So fun!!!
These are so fun!! These libraries had some stuff! I've heard great things about Kill for Me Kill for you!
I actually had somehow not heard of Kill for Me Kill for you yet at the time, but I read it right after I brought it home from the LFL and really enjoyed it!!

What a great idea, Auntie. So many children's books to discover, and a chance to winnow out your own book shelves in the process!
Im going to a library book sale today. Very excited 😊
AHHH!!! I hope you found the best stuff!! I LOVE library book sales so much! 👏👏👏
1st stop, top shelf...great book "Defending Jacob".
Ohh!! I will definitely have to check it out!

Shoot I didn't even notice I was doing this!!! It must have been from filming and being distracted! Thank you!

So curious to know which area you live in! I would love to have this many Little Free Libraries & good ones at that! My town isn't great at all!
This area was in Michigan near Detroit area, theres so many LFL in that radius we drive up just for them!! I wish you had more near you too!!!
Your videos are awesome 😎. Distracting me from my allergies 😞 ugh ❤
AWWWWWWW 😭😭😭😭 Thank you so much!!!!! 💌🙏📚

I'm on the dog's side
No.
I love little free libraries 📚 there are a few near me that I love utilizing!
I love them too!!! Theres one really close to us at a park and I ALWAYS have to check it out when we go there! You just never know what you can find! 💯💌🙌
I love going to little free libraries, although I rarely find anything good haha
YES this is SO relatable hahah!!! I also LOVE going to them because I love the treasure hunt aspect but at the same time I rarely find much😅🥰📚
Lucky you have so many little libraries near you
I really love having some near!!! 💌📚
You were in my city of Wyandotte. I recognized some of the free little libraries. What store did you go to?
YES oh my gosh that's so cool you recognize them!!! The goodwill we went to at the end was the Woodhaven location! Wyandotte was so beautiful I can't wait to go back! The waterfront was amazing!
I have a LFL in Romulus! Come visit the Romulus locations!
@@CindyP21 omg we are also planning a trip this weekend to LFL hunt!!! I will check the Romulus area!!! Thank you!! ❤️🙏💯
I haven’t checked out my little free libraries I need to make some time!
Yessss, it's so fun to see what you can find! And that's the biggest thing for me is finding the time to venture out to them, especially when they can be quite spread out from one another!
The problem with this kind of video is that I see all these books I want and I can't drive across country to get them. 😊I actually don't know what state your in but still.
Hahaha OMGGGG you just hit the nail on the head! That's how I feel when I watch these! 😅😅😅😅
I ended up finding a "gone" LFL for the first time a few weeks ago and was so bummed out.
UGH I was so bummed out by this too!!! I just seen the lonely post there and it was such a sad sight!! 😅😭📚
If you're on the LFL App, there's a way to report a no-longer-there LFL, as well as an LFL that's needs to be repaired. I've never seen just a post like that. Very weird and sad.
also did not know you were a Seinfeld fan who's your fvorite character and what you think about the final eps
I have never really watched Seinfeld to be honest! I just thought it was wild to find a whole show dvd set in a LFL!!!! I think its such a cool find though for fans!!
Love this! Have your hubby hold the camera next time!
YES I need toooo, the last few times I did this he was my camera man but this time I let him stay in the car...it made me REALLY appreciate having his help the last time hahah!!!😅🙏🥰
Hi new to you. Yes love video.
AW Thank you so much for watching!!! 💖🙏💌
As for the arcs - maybe someone keeps winning Goodreads giveaways? That’s my thought, but I’ve only won 1 actual ARC through goodreads
OHHH That is SUCH a good point I hadnt even thought of! And SAME, I have all but given up on entering GR giveaways because I never win, Now I know someone over in this neighborhood is scoring them all hahha!
Mercury was a good book
OHH thank you for recommending it! I will check out if my library has a copy!
I can't believe you brought barely anything home. When I go around to the LFLs I always come away with some.
HAHAH I KNOW I was so strict on myself!!! I am currently working this year on reading ALL of my unread books on my shelf so this challenge is definitely keeping me accountable 😅🙌🤣
Please tidy the books! Good grief, you’re just jumbling everything up and making them look terrible!
