Books, Books, and More Books, Vol. II

Welcome to Volume II of the books from dad and Ann!

Yup-two more boxes of books arrived with more treasures:).

This one is very interesting...

as it deals with playing checkers.
This was another interesting book
(modern science in 1925!).

The Honorable William Howard Taft was part of this book:).

Who doesn't love the campfire girls?

Another intriguing title.

This was my favorite!

A series of notable quotations.

Ironically, earlier in the day hubby attended a yard sale where he purchased a copy of Nicholas Nickleby for me.

I love the illustrations.

He also found this set of vintage building guides-perfect for my handy hubby (if you would like to know more about his handiness visit my other blog

Thanks for sharing another book review with me!

Believe it or not there are more on the way!

Books, Books, and More Books!

Dad and his wife Ann have been doing some cleaning lately.

Lucky me gets the fruits of their labor!

They sent us two boxes of old books.

This condensed version of US History is dated 1872.

I love the classics!

Les libres en francais!

This book is very old as you can see when you look at the cover page in the next photo:).

Lovely old music books.

This copy of Ivanhoe is beautiful.

Emerson's Essays

This was one of my favorites...

as was this copy of Aunt Jo's Scrap Bag by Louisa May Alcott.

There were several lovely illustrations in this book.

Hmmm...I think I'll curl up with a good book and do some reading.

The problem is which book to choose?

As part of this award I am to list 7 things about myself that you don't already know and then I am to award it to 7 deserving bloggers.

Let's do the easy part first-7 things about me.

1. I prefer pasta and veggies to meat.

2. I love ice cream.

4. Although I love Jane Austen, Charles Dickens is my favorite author.

5. My favorite modern day authors are Dorethea Benton Frank and Pat Conroy.

6. I've been trained in interior redesign.

7. I love to jog.

OK, here's the part where I wimp out. I can't possibly choose 7 bloggers from my list so I am breaking the rules and awarding this to everyone on my favorite bloggers list.

BTW, I still can't get award banners to transfer so I apologize for not posting it.
