Fall is here, so we have a new Mailbox Monday picture for the new season.
It was a mixed bag as far as book acquisitions went last week:
The Happy Island by Dawn Powell (because Powell intrigues me even though I haven't read any of her books yet)
Packwood by Mark Kirchmeier (which looks like a pretty sensational, instant exposé published in the midst of the Senator's tribulations -- I found it for $1 at a library sale)
Miss Gabby: Memoirs of a Country Schoolteacher in the Frontier West, 1910 - 1912 by Sue Oakes (which is my favorite of the bunch because Sue is a family friend and she self-published this account of her paternal grandmother)
