As usual, hanging out at the FoL sales where I picked up two watercolor books.
Watercolor Success!: 52 Essential Lessons for Creating Great Paintings by Chuck Long
The Watercolorist's Complete Guide to Color by Tom Hill
I’ve planned to take up watercolors for many years. Maybe I’ll finally start. Despite pledging to never buy another cookbook I picked up:
Ma Gastronomie by Fernand Point
I needed a vacation read and wandered into B&N and bought:
My Year of Rest and Relaxation: A Novel by Ottessa Moshfegh

And one purchase & one more ARC today:
* Psyche and Eros by Luna McNamara (pub date 5/23, so I think someone read this retelling ARC & brought it back)
* The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State by Friedrich Engels
