Good Book Hunting: September 10, 2008
On Wednesday, I found a yard sale
and received a book I'd ordered off the Internet. Here they are:
- The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico, a book about the conquest of the Mexica written by one of the conquistadores. The bite of the Porch Girl continues.
- The Caretakers by Tabitha King. That's my second book purchase from this author simply because she's Stephen King's wife. Brother, his coattails are carrying the whole family as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I'll read one of them and like it so I'll buy the author in his (Joe Hill's) or her own right.
- The Audobon Society Field Guide to North American Birds including a visual flip guide. So by the time my children pay attention, I hope to know what kinds of birds you see around here.
Just when we thought Book Fair Season was over, though, my beautiful wife has found another coming up. Oh, the humanity! Did I brag here about the $25 bookshelves I found at Target? I retract that. Sissy little things are bowing in under a year.
