Ah, gentle reader, as I recently had to tell you I bought a book recently because I had not done a proper Good Book Hunting post containing it (Maurine and Other Poems by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, mentioned in the book report for Lake of the Ozarks). So I have vowed to do a Good Book Hunting post for every trip to ABC Books, and the longevity of that vow is probably only this post.
But on Saturday, I made my way up to the book signing this weekend. Unfortunately, I cannot make them all, as they have one just about every Saturday these days. Which is probably for the best, as my book reading has slowed since the Winter Reading Challenge ended.
I got the book being autographed and a couple other things.
The signed book is Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Rocky Ridge Farm: A Detailed Look Behind the Scenes by Michelle Underwood, a tour guide at the home. I also bought Ideals Easter Issue (1977) and a set of Karate flash cards that unfold and show various exercises and whatnot. I’m not sure I can count it as a book, and I’m not sure that I will ever make use of it. But I did, however, again empty the martial arts section of the book store. I should perhaps put this book on the shelf with the tai chi walking books or the assortment of other books that I have yet to read about karate, aikido, and whatnot.
At any rate, I shall likely read these book about Rocky Ridge Farm first of these. Whether I read it before I actually make the journey to Mansfield remains to be seen.
