Book Acquisitions // aka: book haul

If you can't go buy a book, the next best thing is to look at someone else's books, right? Well, here's a look at some books I recently received in boxes delivered to my porch. Actually, the Christian books get delivered to the local post office and the others get put on my porch. There are no local bookstores so I think I save a lot of money by acquiring books online. They would cost a lot more if I went to Barnes & Noble.

Yay for book mail! I'm eagerly awaiting my copy of The Johnstown Flood! 🤓

[@Eldertalk]

Oh, you'll learn so much about the Johnstown Flood and the people/events that made it happen - I will be reading it again with you next month!

[@Littlebiglibrary]

Hi Ms. Linda. I hope that you are well and I hope that you have a good weekend! -James & Bella!

[@FacelessBookReviews]

Thanks for the quick video! Book mail is the best mail.

[@Eldertalk]

Yes I love book mail - and quick videos too!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Got to love a bit of Jane Austen. Happy reading.

[@Eldertalk]

Yes! I've read 4 other Jane Austen books - I should be able to read this one too.

[@BookZealots]

Oh yay! I hope you really like the annotated version of Mansfield Park. I have one for each of the 6 main novels and some are repititous, but still very useful and fascinating. Pretty journal cover~ The map book looks great too! Great book haul. Enjoy!🤗

[@Eldertalk]

I don't know if I'll read all the annotations, but I'm sure they'll help me understand the time, places and customs better.

[@Eden-Restored]

The Bible maps insert seems like a good idea. Will be interested to hear how you get on with Mansfield Park. 😊

[@Eldertalk]

Somehow I think I'll probably not finish Mansfield Park in July, but I do believe I'll eventually finish it!

[@TheLinguistsLibrary]

Hi, what a great channel you have there! I garden a lot

[@Eldertalk]

Thank you!! I was just watching your video on annotation!

[@Littlebiglibrary]

The Searchers looks like an interesting read. I would love to see you do a Journal video. Thank you Ms. Linda. - James & Bella!

[@Eldertalk]

Okay, I'll try to get the journaling video done soon.........

[@Littlebiglibrary]

​@@EldertalkI think I might try and do a Common Place book? I made a Short video about it

[@greatbooksbigideas]

Mansfield Park was one of my favorite Jane Austen books. I bet you'll have an easier time on the second attempt. The California book sounds interesting. I'm a sucker for maps of any kind!

[@Eldertalk]

Yes, now that I know more about what Mansfield Park is about it will probably be easier to read. The first time I felt like I couldn't keep all the characters separated and clear in my mind.

[@ShawnDStandfast]

Hi Linda, I hope you like the book. The first third or so is directly related to Cynthia Ann Parker. Telling her story as much as is possible to do so.

[@Eldertalk]

Thanks for the book recommendation - this is one of those true stories of the old west that I want to know more about.

[@CandlewickLibrary]

I’ve been reading Mansfield Park too. It’s not my favorite Austen. I’m interested in seeing what you think!

[@Eldertalk]

I just started reading Mansfield Park last night. The annotations are interesting but I've decided not to stop and read them while I'm reading each chapter, but to go back and read them at the end of each chapter. The book is so thick it is hard to hold! I read only chapter one last night. I think I'll be reading only one chapter or two each evening. The book, in chapter one, told a lot more than the movie did. How far along in the novel are you now?

[@CandlewickLibrary]

@@Eldertalk I’m a little over halfway.

[@faithbooks7906]

Mansfield Park is Jane Austen's most overtly Christian novel. If you read it in that light, I think you'll get a lot out of it.

[@Eldertalk]

I'm looking forward to reading Mansfield Park this time.
