What did YOU buy today? October 2023

This message used to mention an ARC, which I have since given to a coworker.

Hanging out at the FoL and found these: Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham, Listen! The Wind by Anne Morrow Lindbergh This is the Westvaco slipcased edition, George Sand by Curtis Cate and The Rainbow Comes and Goes: A Mother and Son on Life, Love, and Loss by Anderson Cooper .

Bought 2:
* _The Solace of Stars_ by Kathleen Ernst
* Flee North: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's Borderland by Scott Shane

Most extravagant purchase for a while, but I have a birthday not far off:
* A Tip for the Hangman by Allison Epstein
* Last Night at the Hollywood Canteen by Sarah James
* The Woman with the Purple Heart by Diana Hanks
* A Haunting at Holkham by Anne Glenconner

The first was a total impulse buy & it's already sending me down a Christopher Marlowe rabbit-hole. The Hanks says it's based on a true story. The James is Golden Era Hollywood. And the Glenconner seems to be semi-autobiographical.

Three are brand new & all four are historical fiction.

And, at the last moment, one ARC & one purchase.

The ARC:
Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle (pub 3/24; contemporary fiction w/a fantastical twist)

And the purchase:
From the Headlines to Hollywood: The Birth and Boom of Warner Bros. by Chris Yogerst
