The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
Day After Night by Anita Diamant
A Watershed Year by Susan Schoenberger
My Heart Is an Idiot: Essays by Davy Rothbart except Davy. He's a writer and his brother Peter is a guitarist and lyrics writer.
That's awesome Carol. I absolutely LOVED The Red Tent, it's one of my all time favorite books. Enjoy!I have a signed book - American Prince: A Memoir by one of my all time favorite actors (and childhood crushes), Tony Curtis - he signed it for me in person, that day is a treasured memory of mine ♥
Oh Carol - let me know how "My Heart is an Idiot" is please, I've seen that book before and it's piqued my interest.

[bookcover:St. Bartholomew's..."I love Beware, Princess Elizabeth :)
Went to Savers today and they changed from Buy 3 to "Buy 4 books and get one free". So I got 5 hard covers with perfect dust jackets, first edition books that look like no one ever touched them, the pages are white -- like brand new. For $12 I got . . .
No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt by Doris Kearns Goodwin
An Irish Country Courtship by Patrick Taylor
People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
The Last Days of Dogtown by Anita Diamant
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer -- my freebie!
What a great store! The staff and the overhead store radio only speak Spanish, so I think that's why I find such good deals on books in english.
Alice wrote: "I love Beware, Princess Elizabeth :)"So does one of my friends, who is the one who recommended it to me! Oooo, but while I was putting my new books in my book shelves, I did something that made me mad. I was putting Beware, Princess Elizabeth between Patience, Princess Catherine and Salem Witch, and the back cover of BPP caught on SW's front cover cut-out and I heard riiiiiiiip! Ooooo, it took a 1" by 1" chunk out of the back cover, and I was soooo mad! I taped it back, but OOOOOOOOOH! I try to take good care of my books! Dx

We had one in Little Rock...I especially loved 99-cent day. They're so much nicer than Goodwill or Salvation Army! That's where I used to get a lot of used CDs and most of my clothes (along with T.J.Maxx). Now I have to wait for a 30% off coupon at Kohl's...
I got to go to Half Price Books while in TX last week. I made a haul of old hardcovers and enjoyed using a 15% off coupon..."Lonesome Land" by B. M. Bower
