Yes, we acquired more books for the family library this month, in spite of a windfall in the month of December. I momentarily wonder why my house isn’t cuter, and then I remember I am too busy buying or trading for books and reading them. It’s a sickness, really.
Here is what came our way this month:
In the mail, headed my way:
What about you? Did any books join your family this month…so far?

Elizabeth, I haven’t read it yet. Do you think it’d be appropriate to read aloud to my children? Thanks!
I’ve read “That quail, Robert” a couple of times. Its a good book.
*Ha* I had two black and white mounted photographs in my hand…was gonna buy them…and put them back down. I’ going back over there in a moment…because I forgot a book.
But it’s by Eric Sloane…..
Hi Brandy
We got some new ‘school’ books – history, literature, philosophy – for our Tapestry study. That’s about it.
I really have had to slow down on the buying (for me) because I just can’t seem to find the time to read. (Although, interestingly enough (to me, anyway), I have been reading “Economic Facts and Fallacies” by Thomas Sowell when I’m hiding in the bathroom. It’s a copy my husband left there and I’ve been reading it in little snatches. It’s been a lot more interesting and easier to read than I had expected. Nice. (Actually, in Australian English, that would be pronounced “Noice.” That last bit was just FYI :oP )

….That about nails it. I just came back from an estate sale down the block with 9 old books.
