Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot, where we offer a place for bloggers to link up and get a fresh set of eyes on their posts. We also feature one blog a week, letting our readers know about the blog and providing a link so readers can learn more about it. Please feel free to post new blog posts or old ones you want to bring attention to again.
Look for the post to go live about 9:30 PM EST on Thursdays.
I have a bit of an addiction of buying books from Thriftbooks. I seem to be able to find the older books I enjoy reading there easier than other places. II’m never quite sure what I am going to get in the mail even though I think I’ve bought a certain edition.
Sometimes the books are in good shape, sometimes they smell a bit musty.
This last time all of the books seem to be in good shape, including a nice hardback of A Tramp Abroad by Mark Twain. It’s from the 1970s and has a nice material for the cover.
Do you like buying used books? And do they need to be in pretty good shape for you to want to buy them?
Now, let’s introduce our current hosts for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot:
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household – The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Cat from Cat’s Wire is a bookworm, movie fan, crazy cat lady, armed with beads, cabs, wire and a very jumpy brain which loves to go down rabbit holes!
Rena from Fine, Whatever writes about style, midlife, and the “fine whatever” moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she’s been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.
We would love to have additional Co-Hosts to share in the creativity and fun! If you think this would be a good fit for you and you like having fun (come on, who doesn’t!) while still being creative, drop one of us an email and someone will get back with you!
WTJR will be highlighting a different blogger each week this year! We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello!
This week we are spotlighting: Musings and Glimpses of Faith
A little about Paula:
Okay, I know what you’re thinking: “Paula, what are you up to now?” Most of you know me from my home site, Grace Filled Moments, or my book blog, Between The Bookends. And you’re right to wonder!
This middle-aged Gen X gal has so much more to share – musings and glimpses, if you will! We’re talking about everything that pops up in midlife, like extra doses of encouragement, the joy of small-batch comfort food, the art of apartment and small-space living, clever solutions for everyday life, small-space decorating tips, fun, small-space entertaining ideas, humor, and so much more. And let’s not forget my love for nostalgia (Gen X anyone?)! There are so many stories to tell and memories to share. Do you remember?
Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up!
And now some posts that were highlights for me this past week:
Does this cardigan feature a falcon or an eagle?
Debbie celebrates with family and shares decorations in her home
I love Doused in Pink’s trouser suit!
I loved these Valentine outfits from Within A World of My Own
Esme’s Crispy Orange Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti looks amazing!

I only buy used books these days, on different platforms, but I like sellers who add a picture of the actual book.
There’s one big shop here that doesn’t guarantee the edition and worse, you never know what condition the book will be. What they call fair can be really good, very good can be terrible. Their prices are usually good, but I only buy there if they are the only ones who have something I want (wish me good luck for the CDs I ordered last night).

I love old books and am always checking them out at estate sales or thrift stores. I love old school readers (it’s the teacher in me) and I love to check the copyright dates. My dad and I would often check out a thrift book store near our cabin and we’d be on the hunt. He taught me that these books have a history… someone else picked the book up and read it and it’s part of the fun to imagine who that might have been. As always, thanks for the party!
