It's been two whole years, but finally there I was, back in line at the Cobb County Civic Center. (Unfortunately, in the sun.) It seemed like forever, but finally all of us (for there was a long, long line) were inside, doing what we do best, looking for "The Book" (what "The Book" is depends on the reader; it could be Western history or Jodi Picault or sewing books), that one that will just make your day. These were my finds:
Ella of All of a Kind Family, Sidney Taylor (the last in Taylor's series about a Jewish family circa World War I in NYC)
Weetamoo, Heart of the Pocassets and Victoria, May Blossom of Brittania, two of the "Dear America" "Royal Diaries" series
The Journal of Jedediah Barstow: An Emigrant on the Oregon Trail and The Journal of Brian Doyle: A Greenhorn on an Alaskan Whaling Ship, two of the male journal versions of the "Dear America" books
The Road to Somewhere, James Dodson (a man and his son tour Europe)
The Thing With Feathers, Noah Strycker (from my Amazon wishlist, about birds)
There and Back Again, Sean Astin's book
An Irish Hostage, the latest in Charles Todd's Bess Crawford mysteries
Atlas Obscura (Yay! Finally got one!)
Drawn from New England, Bethany Tudor (Tasha Tudor's picture-and-word portrait of her mom)
and two Christmas books:
Moravian Christmas in the South and Season's Greetings from the White House, the latter a history of the annual White House Christmas card
