Bookgirl went a thrifting...

Recent steal:  Loose Girl, a memoir of promiscuity by Kerry Cohen
 The Island of Lost Maps, A true Story of Cartographic Crime by Miles Harvey
Stolen Innocence, Triumphing Over a Childhood by Abuse: a memoir by Erin Merryn
More Classics to Read Aloud to Your Children Edited by William F. Russell
Early Christian Fathers Edited by Cyril C. Richardson
The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald Edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli

And my favorite, John Ransom's Andersonville Diary.  I have a soft spot for anything "Andersonville".  A few years ago while traveling through Georgia, our family visited the military prison in which Union soldiers were held.  The stockades have been rebuilt and one can stand where these prisoners stood and walk where they walked.  Watching the movie is haunting after having been to Andersonville. I am excited to begin this book but in such a way as I know what went on and feel an odd sort of connection to the prisoners.
