My mother-in-law, daughter, and I ventured to the annual
American Red Cross Book Sale. I'd never been before, but had always wanted to go. You have my attention when you say the word "book." I spent twenty bucks (more than I'd intended to), but I got quite a few books that I'm excited to read.
- Julie & Julia - Julie Powell
- Pigs in Heaven - Barbara Kingsolver
- The Lacuna - Barbara Kingsolver
- The Adventures of Augie March - Saul Bellow
- Field of Thirteen - Dick Francis
- We Are Still Married - Garrison Keillor
- Happy To Be Here - Garrison Keillor x2 (oops).
- WLT (A Radio Romance) - Garrison Keillor
- Water For Elephants - Sara Gruen
- Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
- The Road to Wellville - T. Coraghessan Boyle
And of course, I get home and realize that I bought two of the same book. To be fair, they had different covers and I'd found them at the beginning and end of my book buying frenzy. It shouldn't be a surprise. Garrison is a bit of a weakness of mine. He's rather brilliant in his creativity and improvisation. So, perhaps I can start someone else on his writings by giving one of them away. It was for a good cause at any rate.
So, now I have a good reading list to go into winter with. I'm one happy girl!! If you live in Indiana, you really should venture to Bloomington and check it out, it's pretty swell.
