What can you buy for a dollar? Quite a bit at my local library. This pile of books is what I bought from the discard shelf. It's always fun to go, because for a thrifty person, you can come away with quite a bit. It's probably why my house is beginning to look like a second hand book shop. Not that I would mind running a second hand book shop, that or a tea room.
Have you ever listened to an interview with Oliver Sacks, especially in reference to his childhood. You should, it's most interesting.
Last and least, yes I will defend myself on these type of books. I ask you Louise L'Amour, please. But what caught my eye was the title Sitka. Sitka part of the state of Alaska is a little island that sits some way off the coast. We visited Sitka when we went to Alaska, and it's just beautiful. It has an interesting history, especially as Alaska was once owned by Russians and America bought it off them. Many of the buildings reflect that Russian influence.

Thanks for visiting and leaving a note at my blog. I will spend more time here, but for now I just want to say that I LOVE your banner. I presume that is you as a little one. So, so cute and very evocative of the times and nostalgic. Wonderful picture. I'll be back when I have some more time. I can tell there is lots I will love.
ReplyDeleteNan, yes that is me as a little girl. I just love that banner photo, on the beach in full clothing. That's the way it was. Plus an English summer was always somewhat cool.
