We went back to the used book store one more time. Here are my new acquisitions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Stuff of Fiction: Advice on Craft<\/em> by Douglas Bauer: It starts with a quote from a fairy tale that I just read, and since I’m on a fairy tale kick, this book was clearly meant to come into my possession.<\/li>\n
  2. The Cat Who Came for Christmas<\/em> by Cleveland Amory: Cute premise, and just about time to start thinking about Christmas.<\/li>\n
  3. Mermaids on the Moon<\/em> by Elizabeth Stuckey-French: This and the following title by the same author sounded like they might be funny, and I am in serious need of some light and humorous books. I promise not to hold the author’s hyphenated name against her (even though I think hyphenated names are silly).<\/li>\n
  4. The First Paper Girl in Red Oak, Iowa <\/em>by Elizabeth Stuckey-French<\/li>\n
  5. On We Go: Reading for Meaning<\/em>: A book for children that has some cute stories for kids. This copy used to belong to the Boston school committee.<\/li>\n
  6. An Infinite Number of Monkeys <\/em>by Les Roberts: Fun title!<\/li>\n
  7. The Way We Talk Now: Commentaries on Language and Culture from NPR’s “Fresh Air”<\/em> by Geoffrey Nunberg: I love both language and NPR, so why not?<\/li>\n
  8. Bunnies and Their Hobbies<\/em> by Nancy Carlson: An innocuous book with cute pictures, perfect for children.<\/li>\n
  9. The Stupidest Angel<\/em> by Christopher Moore: Yes. I do already have a copy of this book. I thought it might make a good Christmas present.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Total cost: Free (my books fit in the bag with Faithful Reader’s books and consequently did not cost a penny)<\/p>\n

    That was our last trip to the store. It closes on Friday. I am sorry to see it go, but I am grateful for all the inexpensive books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
