Yesterday Cynthia and I went to the Mark Twain Library book sale. We were both thinking that it will be our last book sale visit together.
Here are my purchases:
1. Anne Neville Queen to Richard III by Michael Hicks. I once wrote that I wanted to learn more about Anne Neville. Here's my opportunity.
2. Mothers of Invention by Drew Gilpin Faust This book describes how the role of privileged white Southern women changed during the Civil War. I was intrigued that the author studied diaries, letters, essays, and memoirs for this book.
3. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. I remember hearing that this was a good book, and the blurbs were interesting ("fun with unreliable narration")
4. The Mirror & the Light by Hilary Mantel. I won't say that I'm a fan; I wanted to complete the trilogy.
