Thanks for joining me for Mailbox Monday, a weekly "show & tell" blog event where participants share the books they acquired the week before. Visit the Mailbox Monday website to find links to all the participants' posts and read more about Books that Caught our Eye.
Mailbox Monday is graciously hosted by Leslie of Under My Apple Tree, Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit, and Vicki of I'd Rather Be at the Beach.
A read a book about Julia Child a few years ago that referred to MFK Fisher a lot so I imagine the book about her will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly a nice haul.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely haul! Sadly, I've been trying to get my book buying under control, at least until I get through the scads that I already have. Love these posts because I can live vicariously through you. :)
